kapusta – levine wrote the tune to vizakeini, but what most men don’t realize is that it’s the tefilah women say when they light candles friday night.
yes, levine’s tune is beautiful, but the words are even more so.
SJS – YOU DON’T LIKE MUSIC?!?! i’ll pretend i didn’t hear that…
as for me, i don’t really understand yiddish so well, but even so, the song “r’ chanina ben tradyon” by mendy wald (forgot by whom it’s written) is absolutely heart wrenching.
“kol biramah” from regesh by r’shmuel brazil (sung by r’ abish brodt)
“habet” sung by r’ abish brodt
“hakotel” from zeh shir; written by miriam israeli
and many of the old JEP english songs…
