Aharela Samet & Mendy Goldberg In A Revival of The Ancient Tune: Der Zemer

A special work composed in the court of Rabbi Moshe M’Stolin, son of the Yanuka M’Stolin,zt’l, in Frankfurt, by the pious Rabbi Yisrael Yehuda Kula zt”l.

The composer Rabbi Yisrael Yehuda, who had lost his son Yerachmiel at a young age, said when he got up from the shiva, “Let me now sing a song that will take me out of sorrow,” and this is the same song that was composed in these moments.

Mendy Goldberg grew up on the song, which was sung almost every holy Shabbos night with longing and exaltation by his rabbi Rabbi Shimon Natan Neta zt”l of Lelov.

Aharela Samet recently heard the song from Rabbi Elimelech Biderman, who is a descendant of Lelov, and contacted Mendy about the wonderful song. The two of them teamed up to release it with a musical production invested in an arrangement by David Taub and Mendy Goldberg himself, to the honor of HaShem, and to move the people of Israel.
