Singing For the Times
| November 7, 2018Composer and choir leader YITZY BALD still hums the vintage classic
I'm still singing the classic yeshivish ‘Yevanim’ that Rabbi Shmuel Brazil wrote when he was a bochur almost 50 years ago. [It’s on a vintage album called Shmelkie’s Nigunim and it’s the “Yevanim” on Avraham Fried’s Around the Year II —Ed.] I absolutely can’t stop listening dancing and being elevated by that amazing Chanukah song. It’s got such leibedikeit such energy such meaning… and so much neshamah.”
