Blink Twice

     Eastern Europe’s shtetl life
       romantically recalled
     Fiddler on the Roof
       beloved by all

     Recreated today
       in Boro Park,* modernity!           *a neighborhood in Brooklyn, NYC     
     Come see Chassidim 
       live, learn and pray

      Stroll its streets
         Blink twice
      Glimpse Europe's past
         for half the price
