Rest in peace, Shifra Lerer, who died last Saturday, in Manhattan, at the age of 95. The obituary in the Times said,
“If not the last, Ms. Lerer was certainly among the few remaining actresses to have performed in the heyday of the Yiddish theatre...”
Here she was in the role of Dolly, in Woody Allen’s, Deconstructing Harry.
She was buried in Mount Hebron Cemetery in Queens in a section reserved for members of the Yiddish Theatrical Alliance.
