Second Avenue Revival

Get ready for a homecoming.
The Knish takes (back) Second Avenue.
I will be participating in the Conflux Festival and leading a knish processional on Sunday, October 10, 2010 at 4:00 p.m.
That morning, the Yiddish Theatrical Alliance will make its annual trek to Mount Hebron cemetery in Flushing, Queens, where my great-grandfather is also buried. He was not a thespian, alas, but a saddle-maker, according to his death certificate. I like the idea of making the pilgrimage en masse and am eager to meet members of the storied Alliance. I hope Fyvish Finkel, one of the last greats, will be on hand, but he’s also got a show in the works.
Come one, come all. Knish lovers, knish enthusiasts and new initiates of all sizes, shapes, affiliations and taste preferences are welcome to join in the procession — or to join the flocks of onlookers.
