Hauntingly Beautiful Yiddish Song - Shpielberg 

Rav David shalom aliechem ! I wish you mazel und brocha ! And shavua tov ! from London,England. I am a sephardi greek but I do love these yiddish songs and klezmer music.

God bless you. I hope you're doing well. This is truly beautiful, wonderful, joyous music. - Signed, English Christian bloke

Same here. Music of all kinds are beautiful to me.

Well said. There are only two types of music. Good music and bad music- Louis Armstrong

Beautiful reminder of a time with rich souls. I think that's part of the attraction people from various walks have to Yiddish who want to connect to something deeper than common connection- starved culture. That Dumkopf Hitler and all of the rest of them hopped up on Pervitin (meth) along with the German military at the time and much of the population with their ideology of fairy tales lost. People who buy into that thinking now clearly have no clue what a house of cards and scraped together bunk that whole thinking is built on. Am Yisrael chai. Baruch dayan ha Emet.

They really didn't do that tho? That just didn't happen. "Yiddish" music style was most of the music in israel for a very very very long time only In hebrew before they started trying to be like the west and ahskenazi culture also still exists again

@@user-po9iy3pk2y in Israel it's not trying to be like the West or Ashkenazi. People are coming from all places in the world to return to the homeland reborn and that means many different flavors. Ashkenazim are one group of a pie with many pieces, so to speak. 6 million people who largely spoke Yiddish were murdered which is a huge dent in what was already a small minority in the world. Jews are currently .02% of the world population and even now not back to the numbers before the Nazi genocide of these humans. It was destroyed as it existed then. It's up to current generations to pass on the music and language or go back and revive it. Even then, the YIVO version isn't the same as the current living version where many terms have morphed. Obviously it's not dead. The way it was is gone though. The communities simply aren't there any more and generationally people are different. It is preserved and present for current generations to learn and appreciate in new ways, to tie back to those roots of people who were largely lost - whole family trees and majority sections of family trees lost. The things to do now are to live life, all Jews to be responsible for each other all as mishpucha, remember the rich arts from the past as foundations for the present, and be proud of heritage which means actively addressing anti-Semitism from addressing bullies to educating people about new forms like BDS and demonization of Israel which only live because of confirmation bias built on poor and biased information. The thing about being one of the smallest minorities in the world is the challenge of countering the irrational mentality of anti-Semitism which lives because people don't really know Jews (small number) and circularly, because of anti-Semitism people don't know Jews.... basically a cyclical recurring irrational bias of ignorance.

@@zlauriault stopping you on that first sentence: literally take a look at Israel in any way it's insanely westernized lmao it does not matter where people come from it literally doesn't change this fact

Even worse. Many peoples, cultures and languages vanished, others are suffering a lot, for instance Palestinians, Yemens, Inuits, Indians, ... in spite of reconciliation ideals and "western values".

🤩 We hert it here in Zion.

Jackie Shmueli hi Jackie! Do you speak Yiddish? My name is Miryasha. I am from Vladivostok, Russia but now I live in United States. I teach children how to speak Yiddish!

Yes Miryaska, a zabrohana Yiddish with a lithuanian accent. Keep up the good work teaching young kids.Vladivostok is a long way from Israel,the other side of the world. Are there many Jews left there ? Good Pesah greetings to you and family Jackie.

A campfire?you were Habonim or Betar ?

Yes that is right Betar 1954,thanks@@technicaldept.5050

Thanks Tim and thanks for having an open mind!

Check out yiddish folk metal

Wish 10% of human population were like that, even 5%.

Bobi Laforce and my respect and love for the great Serbian people right back at you.

sarah glynn 🤗😘

Love and respect back to you and yours!

Bobi Laforce thanks!

My grandparents were also from Kyiv and resettled in Brooklyn. On Sundays my parents would bring home bagels and we'd listen to klezmer on the radio. I feel this song deep in my bones.

♥️♥️♥️ from Russia.

❤❤❤from South Africa.

💓💓💓from England.

From America, land of mutts, I salute this lovely music so beautifully performed!!

@@blathermore If we fully embraced our "muttishness" what a leap forward that would be.

That makes you 200 per cent😅

There is always a touch of sorrow in Jewish music, not only because it is normally sung in a minor key, but also because it speaks of the continual sorrow of the people of Israel. Am Yisrael Chai!

You wanted to say "kol hakavod", "koved" is weight :).

We cry, because we think of all the folks that used to sing this lovely song and then their lives were snuffed out. How good that some of us are still alive and can relate to this with emotion! It's OK to cry; in today's world, there's plenty to cry about!

is there an English translation

The English translation is posted right there -- below the credits. Just click on "Show more." If you mean you'd like a "singable" translation (where the English words fit the melody better and rhyme), you might try to write one yourself.

Don't feel bad neither did I.

There is always time to learn. I grew up with no one speaking Yiddish in my family and now I’m learning

Doulingo added yiddish in april
