The Three Yiddish Divas

It is with a heavy heart and unbearable sorrow that the world now mourns the passing of our sister, Adrienne Cooper z”l. 

She was my mentor, my surrogate mother, spiritual guide, partner in crime and a dear, dear friend.  Adrienne lives on through her music and her words, but our community will never be the same without her sweet smile, those sparkling eyes and her warm embrace.

Adrienne Cooper z”l, Theresa Tova and I traveled the world (with musical directors Marilyn Lerner and Dan Rosengard)- and each city was another adventure.  We made each other laugh, toasted our successes, shared our secrets and forged unique friendships.   As I share these pictures, the memories are a comfort in this time of incredible sadness.

 

Zol zi hobn a likhtikn gan-eydn.    Kovod ir ondenk… may her memory be for a blessing.
