Most Moving Jewish Song In Your View

D’vekus – lama lenetzach – almost every time I listen to it, I cry.

Shalsheles – Esa ainai

of course, there are many others that are also excellent. These two are among my favorites.

Koh Echsof. A great, heartfelt interpretation was done by Andy Statman on “The Hidden Light.”.

Journeys-Memories.

There once was another child,

Who smelled this sweet and felt this warm,

He was taken from before my eyes,

And only I was left to mourn.

Yossi Sonnenblick and his harmony still brings out tears, and I’ve listened to it probably more than a hundred times.

the MBD memories. its the most moving song ive ever heard.

42: Which classic slow Mo Oshiv do you mean? Is it the very very very old classic? That’s just traditional. You probably mean the one from the MBD album Hallel?

Toi: I remember going to an MBD concert as a child only a few months after he lost his mother (he was still in the year) and he said he’s written a new song about her called Memories and he sang it to us for the first time ever. You can bet it was hartzig. He cried as he sang it and many people cried with him.

It all depends on knowing the background to a song. Eg the famous ani maamin composed in the cattle train to Auschwitz. Or Lo Amus Ki Echye, knowing MBD sang it at the bedside of a kid with cancer.

I think that for hebrew, its kah echsof

esa einai shalsheles

I can’t choose one in particular but I LOVE the Journeys songs that are about like the Holocaust or the one called “In a one room apartment…”

I also love singing ani maamin whenever I feel down. It really kept me going when I was struggling a lot in highschool. Now things are much better but I still love singing it. I think the words are so simple yet so meaningful!!

The first time I davened Mussaf for the amud on Yom Kippur, I was talking to my grandmother about it afterward. She asked me what tunes I used, and one of them was the Ani Maamin mentioned a few posts ago. She told me that she clearly remembers sitting in the barracks in Auschwitz, singing that Ani Maamin. I guess someone from that train must have taught it to them – or she mistook it for a different tune.

V’hu Keyli, By: Baruch Levine

Little neshomale (journeys) is the first to come to mind.

The Camp Shalva song about a boy who comes back into this world disabled because he chose that over Gehennom as oinesh for hitting another Yid. It is in Yiddish and hard to listen to unless you are fluent because it lasts over 10 minutes, but it is worth it. I show the title as “Neshume” but I bought my Camp Shalva albums as downloads and some of the titles are truncated in my files.

Cry no more by Yaakov Shwekey

The teardrop by Abie Rotenberg

The piano boy by Boruch Levine

Music of forever by Yaakov Shwekey

Cuzimjewish,

I also love The Artist! I found it on YouTube, sung acapella by Ari

The meaning behind that song is so encouraging!

Another one of my fave songs is Higher and Higher, by Yehuda!.

Also, Ki Hu by Baruh Levine is gorgeous. It brings back such memories for me, cuz I listened to it during a particularly hard time in my life. I cry every time I listen to it.

Shomer Yisrael, composed by Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz and sung by Uziya Tzadok is GORGEOUS!!!!! It was written while the three boys were missing… A real tearjerker.

Keep climbing is a song that means a lot to me, both cuz of the meaning behind the song and cuz I first heard it right after hearing some really, really bad news and it was like a hug from Hashem.

I’ll post more songs when I think of them.

Yaakov shwekey and baruch levine are also amazing singers, but I know what you mean about his voice. He has this way of injecting so much emotion into s song, it’s amazing!

You know the cutest thing? Nechama Cohen (heartbeat) is Yaakov Shwekey’s niece. Isn’t that heaven?! They’re such a talented family!

You should really check Nechama Cohen out…

She has several original songs on YouTube-

– heartbeat

– forgive me

– perfectly imperfect (the sound is a bit off, tho)

– the edge of prayer- released just a few weeks ago!

They are AMAZING!

I also love Chanale! She is so talented…

Yes, yosef chaim shwekey is also related to yaakov. I heard one of his songs recently- his voice is very similar to yaakov’s!

I would love to check her songs out, but I TRY not to listen to Kol Isha. I guess I could give somethings up for Totty in Heaven! Maybe Yaakov (or Yosef Chaim) can sing her songs for us guys? Would love that!

I SOOOO do NOT have time to be here right now…..but letakein girl I wanted to tell you I was thinking of you recently! We had a speaker in school and she handed out a song at the beginning……and it was Higher and Higher 🙂 I was the only one who had heard of it; it’s stunning! And I only know it coz of you… thanx so much for telling me about it! 🙂 If you know any other nice songs please say! (And I’ll look when I have time, prob in like a month 😉 )

For Cozimjewish (when she comes back):

The song about the cheder in Russia is called “Aleph Beis,” and

it’s on the first volume of Eli Nathan’s Destiny series.

thanx mitzvahgirl!!! Letakein what happened??? all out of ideas?? 😉 Thank-you randomex! where have u and eftach been? I leave for like a month (as predicted 😉 ) and I come on and find a whole slew of ppl I have to meet still, but u two have disappeared! where’d u go???

I think I remember Eftach got married recently, no? So she’s doing the same disappearing act that Streekgeek did.

I dunno about randomex, though.

Hi LG! Nice to see you too!

Hey, shabbos is what counts anyways.

I think it’s amazing that you lasted so long!

Wishing you much hatzlachah.
