About
Welcome to the Sam Kasten (written in Yiddish as “Kestin”) Legacy Project, developed and maintained by Stephanie J. Spielman.
Sam Kasten (z’’l, 1869-1953), one of my paternal great-great grandfathers (more specifically, my father’s mother’s mother’s father), was a beloved comedian/song-and-dance man in the American Yiddish theater in the early 1900s.
This website is an in-progress landing page for materials reviving his legacy.
