  <mods:abstract>Lois Graber, proud grandmother of 6, spoke about the great importance of transmission of Judaism to her children and grandchildren. She detailed her family background as well as that of her husband, a Holocaust survivor. Lois fondly recalled many stories of her family, including her motherâs familyâs involvement with the Yiddish theater in the Bronx. She especially lights up when recounting tales about her in-laws speaking Yiddish, and her mother in law calling her a treasure. In the 1980s, she visited the Soviet Union with her husband and in-laws to reconnect with their brother, who was unable to leave the USSR. Lois also expresses her deep adoration for Israel, her connection to Israel, and how her involvement with Hadassah over the years has helped her engage with Israel. Lois describes Yiddish as a âwarmâ language, and speaks about her hopes for the future of Yiddish and why she thinks it is important for people to know about it. At the conclusion of the interview, she shows the original and a copy of her uncleâs unpublished play.
