Thread Name: Theodore Bikel and Traditions
Subject: RE: Theodore Bikel and Traditions
He does to dialects wonderfully. I have to add he was not just "born into a Jewish family"---he is Jewish and, as he will point out in the interview, that is his core influence. He is committed to justice (the benefit aka Theodore's Birthday Bash is for the Juvenile Justice Center ) and while he is involved with his Jewishness he believes in the rights of all people.

If you tune in to Sunday Simcha (10 AM ET--also on the web) you will hear another side of him---his---if you will--Yiddishkeit.
