    I don’t speak much Yiddish, but I do understand a bunch of it. I’m a big music fan (a relative has described me as an Encyclopedia of Jewish Music, although I must say I’m out of date now), and there are a bunch of songs I like that are in Yiddish. I’ll share some of my favorites (the ones I can remember off the top of my head), and I’d like to hear some favorites from other people.

    Here’s some of my favorites:

    In a Vinkalah (D’veykus)

    Mi Kiamcha Yisrael (MBD)

    The Gedolei Hador (Miami Boys Choir)

    Machnisei Rachamim (Abish Brodt)

    A Yiddele by Isaac Honig is unbelievable.

    Other favorites: Kol Zman by L’Chaim Productions, Oisgetzoigen by Yonoson Schwartz.

    Actually, all of Yonoson Schwartz and L’Chaim Productions (R’ Yosef Moishe Kahane) have great songs.

    I recently got ahold of a copy of an album I had when I was a kid. There is a Yiddish song on it which I remember I liked when I was young. Now that I can actually understand it a bit, I can fully appreciate it. It’s called Rosh HaShanah in Berditchev, and it’s about a conversation between R’ Levi Yitzchak and Hashem on Rosh HaShanah.

    There’s one part which I love. I don’t remember the exact Yiddish words, so here’s a translation (which I’m not 100% sure I got correct):

    In one place in the Torah, you wrote “Yom Teruah yihyeh lachem”. Now, look at what your children are doing for it! For one small verse, I blew 100 kolos! For 2,000 years, we’ve been begging every day to hear just one tekiah from you, Hashem! Please, let us hear just one tekiah from you – tekah b’shofer gadol l’cheiruseinu!

    This was a great song about what is really important, nice and sweet. I know about half the words and would love to find the rest of the song but I don’t know where it comes from. Has anyone else ever heard this song?
