Elyonim Susu – Harav Yirmia Damen & His Son Moshe, Ahrela Samet
When Moshe Damen was a little boy, he heard his grandfather, the renowned prayer leader Rabbi Itcha Damen, humming a wonderful song to himself every Shavuot night. It was impossible not to forget it. Even after decades had passed since his passing. It was a song full of grace, a sweet song from the Dzikov Court Midrash, Grandfather’s hometown. Like the other Ropschitz melodies, this song had a lot of heart, infinite emotion, and an incomparable sweetness.
Grandfather is no longer here, but Moshe continued to hum the song to himself time and time again. This year, in preparation for Shavuot, he asked his father, the renowned musician Rabbi Yirmia, to sing this song together with him, and to renew its light for the first time.
Rabbi Yirmia jumped at the chance and both entered the recording studio. They did not leave until the song was sung and worked as it should be, in the arrangement of the legendary David Fink and the graceful singing of the master of the instrument, Ahrela Samet.
