The Yiddish folk songs was originated in 14th century. The sing was sung by the Jews of Eastern Europe. The songs were written in Hebrew scripts. The nature of the Yiddish songs was religious. There had been a famous Jewish musicians such as Steven Adler, Bob Dylan, Robbie Roberts, David Lee Roth, Carole King, Gary Glitter, Neil Sedaka, Leslie West, Al Cooper, Tasseomancy etc.

I have an album with Aviv Geffen on it does that count, guess it might as it's Blackfield 1 where most of the songs are Geffen's translated into English.
