As a Bronx native, I always get a sense of pride whenever I see my hometown borough getting it’s share of the New York City spotlight. I was definitely caught by surprise when at the New York’s Yiddish Theater exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York, The Bronx was presented as one of the main hubs for Yiddish theater in the city, as far uptown as 180th Street. There was even an entire show that revolved around Jewish workers and their commute to and from The Bronx and Manhattan, entitled the Bronx Express. The dream-like show follows a man who interacts with characters on the train’s advertisements, which I found especially relatable as during my sometimes hour-long commutes, I completely lose myself in the characters, text and symbolism that the advertisements emit.
