ReynHartsik (heartfelt, sincerely), a duo project from musicians Yoshie Fruchter and Rabbi Deborah Sacks Mintz, explores Yiddish poetry, loshen koydesh, prayer, and nigun in an intimate acoustic folk setting. Using a combination of their voices with cello, guitar, bass, and mandolin, Fruchter and Sacks-Mintz bring new melodies to the Jewish music canon using intricate songs, sensitive musicianship, and a sincere desire to connect with audiences. Like Baez and Dylan, the vocal chemistry between the duo is paramount, and the unique arrangements and compositions provide a setting that evokes past and present in perfect harmony.
YIDSTOCK 2025 is sponsored by WAMC Northeast Public Radio and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
