"dreydlekh" is the plural of "dreydl". a doina could be described as a "long wailing solo", but more specifically, it is an unmetered improvisation, usually over chord changes. the timing of the changes is determined by the soloist in the moment. it often comes before a piece in rhythm, usually in the same key, but sometimes you'll have a doina by itself.
a good source for general klezmer knowledge is the book "The Compleat Klezmer", by Henry Sapoznik, published by Tara Publications. starts with a description of various klez tune types, basic modes & styling, then has a nice selection of "standard" tunes. you can also get it with a recording with old recordings of all the tunes, which is really useful.
