עונג שבת (עונ"ש):עֵת לָלֶדֶת וְעֵת לָמוּת: פרידה מפיט סיגֶר- Oneg Shabbos Blog's Pete Seeger and the Jews Post

רשומה: עֵת לָלֶדֶת וְעֵת לָמוּת: פרידה מפיט סיגֶר

P.S. Seeger was not a Jew. Wikipedia: Seeger was born at the French Hospital, Midtown Manhattan. His Yankee-Protestant family, which Seeger called "enormously Christian, in the Puritan, Calvinist New England tradition", traced its genealogy back over 200 years. A paternal ancestor, Karl Ludwig Seeger, a physician from Württemberg, Germany, had emigrated to America during the American Revolution and married into an old New England family in the 1780s. Pete's father, the Harvard-trained composer and musicologist Charles Louis Seeger, Jr., was born in Mexico City, Mexico, to American parents
