This was performed for a benefit concert for the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene in New York City, hosted by actor/comedian Alan King.
Halevai is a common Yiddish expression that translates as "If only," "I hope it so" or "I wish!" This song was first made famous by the great Jewish cantor/actor/singer, Moishe Oysher, along with the Barry Sisters. Here is that recording:
