Dolly Parton's Hit Song "9 to 5" - In Yiddish!

Did you know that Dolly Parton's song 9 to 5 was inspired by 9 to 5, a workplace feminist movement? 

In 1973, Ellen Cassedy founded the organization with the aim of bringing about fair pay and equal treatment for women in the workplace. 9 to 5 is so much more than a toe-tapping song! 

So, for Women's History Month in March, actor and singer Lea Kalisch put out this brand new Yiddish version, with lyrics by Ellen Cassedy herself.

Lea Kalisch is a multi-lingual and multi-disciplinary New York City based performer. Originally from Switzerland, Lea moved to NYC in 2014 to study at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. She earned a BFA in Musical Theater from The New School.

Lea has an insatiable curiosity for life and loves to use her vigorous enthusiasm to entertain and challenge audiences as much as herself. 

Enjoy!
