Yiddish Theater Bids Farewell to Shifra Lerer

NYTimes.com: "The hearse pulled slowly up a narrow drive of a cemetery in Flushing, Queens, Monday afternoon and stopped in front of a large granite gateway carved with the words Yiddish Theatrical Alliance.
The gates open onto thousands of headstones with Hebrew and English and Yiddish. This is Block 67 at Mount Hebron Cemetery, a special section maintained by the theatrical alliance, its plots reserved for those who worked in Yiddish theater in New York.
