It is a song of yearning for the warm and loving touch that only a mother, particularly a Jewish mother, can provide. "A Jewish mother - she is dearer than money.'' "A Jewish mother - how sad when she's so far away..'' II.WHEN THE REBBE ELIMELECH BECOMES SO VERY MERRY (06:49) As der Rebbe Elimelech is gevoyrn asoi freylach Music: Anonymous Moshe (Moishe) Nadir was one of the great Jewish humorists and satirists. Here, with all due respect to the great Rabbi Elimelech, he portrays him as a happy human being, not above the foibles of frolicking with abandon at times of joy. III.REYZELE (12:44) Music: Mordechai Gebirtig A victim of the Holocaust, Mordechai (Mordkhe) Gebirtig created many songs that became very popular throughout the lands of Jewish dispersion. Here a young maiden, wishing to preserve her traditional "purity," implores her secret lover not to whistle when he comes courting. IV.AT THE FIREPLACE - Oif'n Pripetchik brennt a feier'l (16:57) Music: Mark Warshavsky This song, by a protege of Sholem Aleichem, has become the essence of the Yiddish folksong, and a classic of the genre. It is a perfect paean to the very soul of Jewishness (at least in the East-European tradition), expressing the suffering, the tears, the heroism and the tribulations of endless wandering in the exile, the Diaspora. This is portrayed through a touching picture of children crowded around their Rebbe in a heated room, learning the wonders of the alphabet. V.DOYNA (21:06) Music: Romanian Anonymous This tune originated in Romanian folk song and was adopted by the Jewish Klezmers who traveled around playing at weddings and other festivities. (Similarly, many Jewish melodies found their way to the folksongs of other peoples.) The Doyna has thus become one of the most popular Klezmer melodies. VI.RAISINS AND ALMONDS - Rozhinkes mit Mandelen (24:50) Music: Abraham Goldfaden Originally an aria from Goldfaden's operetta "Shulamit," this rapidly became such a hit that it quickly turned into a popular folksong. It is a statement of innocent optimism and faith in the Jewish fate and future. VII.BY THE WAYSIDE STANDS A TREE - Oif'n Weyg steyt a Boim (30:31) Music: Anonymous Itzik Manger was a true folk-poet whose works have rightly become classics of Jewish literature. In the present example a young Jewish lad dreams of turning into a bird, so that he might experience true freedom in all its glory, to nest among the bare branches of a wayside tree, deserted in the wintry storm by all the birds. VIII.A SONG - A Dudele (36:00) Music: Reb Levi Yitzhak of Berditchev Many of Rabbi Yitzhak's songs have become true folksongs. They are all, like the present one, simple and straightforward expressions of the faith in God the Almighty, and of the great inner joy that may be derived from this faith. « Oh, mighty God! O mighty God! I shall sing you a song: You are in the North, and You are in the South. You are in the East, and You are in the West! You, You, You, You.. » IX.WHERE SHALL I GO ? - Vi ahin soil ich Geyn ? (40:55) Music: Oscar Stock Though written by two men of the theatre before the Holocaust, this song became very popular during World War Il in the ghettoes and concentration camps. It depicts the profound dilemma of the desperate Jewish People, persecuted everywhere and at a loss as to ’’where one can go’’..

Beautiful music , beautiful People....i stand with ISRAEL!!

God bless Israel, we are with praying for you. From South Africa

Listening to this today in honour of my Jewish brothers and sisters who are in a war .God is in your side

There is nothing quite like either a violin or clarinet playing these wonderful timeless Jewish melodies. Truly they have a bittersweet quality that inevitably leads one to think of those millions who perished among them a very large number of my own family.

Thank you for this beautiful music. I stand with Israel 100%. 💙#JewishLivesMatter 💙#StopAntisemitism 💙#BringThemHome 💙✡

Music has no border, I am Chinese and this album touches my heart. I listen to it frequently.

Today is December 29, 2022. 11:00 am Alaska standard time. As a Jew I am so grateful for the wonderful comments from all who love our music. We love it too. It has such a universal quality. Itzach Perlman has an incredible gift for bringing out the passion and poignancy of traditional Jewish music. It fills my heart. Baruch HaShem.

Mi se topeste inima cind ascult melodiile evreiesti si,deasemenea,cind il ascult pe Itzack Perlmann!Eu sint crestina ortodoxa din Bucovina-Romania.

The daughter of Jewish parents from Hungary and Czech who in different circumstances ended up in the UK where I was born. They survived (though scarred with guilt to have survived where so many family didn't). particularly my father's family who all perished. We can not change the past but only try to strive with every mitzvah we can do for a better future. Our ancestors live within us and as a professional musician, a clarinet player, I feel it is in music and its purity that Ticun Olum (healing of the world), that the souls of those no longer in this world will live on. Mr Perlman - you are like family to me hearing you as a young child live in concert played a significant part influencing me to become a musician. Thank you! And for this wonderful Yiddish collection and all your recordings which continue to inspire so many of us. With music there is hope...

as a german i feel awful that my ancestors are responsible that jewish culture is dying out. It is very emotional to hear mister Perlman play this song shalom to everyone on this world!

I remember there was a old Jew my dad used to visit, his name was Gutman and he used to play for the silent movies and he played for me once when I was a child... RIP. He would be 130 years old now, a real treasure lost in him

Love the Jewish people and the music is fabulous!

My mother, born in Vienna, was lucky enough to come to USA before the Holocaust, but I grew up, safe and secure, listening to her sing all of these songs. I love them, and sang along with Yitzhak´s fine violin and wonderful orchestra!

כמה יפה! כמה חשוב!

I cried and I cried and I cried. It touched my heart and my mother's Russian heritage and my father's German one. It brought back memories of hiding in a hut in 1942. Dora Reisser. Survivor

Thank you Mr. Perlman for these beautiful renditions of Jewish music

Yitzhak Perelman can play any genre of music on his violin, he has such a deep understanding of it. Klezmer, Bluegrass, Country, Classical, you name it, he owns it... Exquisite!! This man also has a wonderful operatic quality singing voice as well.

Itzhak Perlman, one of the great musicians, violinists in the world, that never forgot our music who identify us so much ! Thank you very much! The arrangements are so beautiful too! Best regards from Argentina !

Mr Perlman is a genius, - what a fantastic rendering of 'My Yiddishe Mama '. I couldn't stop crying

I am so grateful to Itzhak Perlman for keeping these important pieces of World Culture alive and orchestrating them in such a beautiful manner. There is so little left of Yiddish culture, we should cherish what remains, no matter where we are from. Yiddish music always speaks to my heart. Greetings to all my Jewish friends from Syria.

All my love to my Jewish friends. God bless you all.

это просто неописуемо прекрасно... гений играет гениальную музыку

I know there are already so many comments, but i cannot help but to appreciate the absolute beauty of these wonderful pieces. As a gentile I am wholeheartedly in love with the culture and the people, and I wish the best of fortunes to the Jewish community and those who continue to promote this wonderful music and the many other beautiful aspects. שָׁלוֹם

☀️☀️ THANKYOU MAESTRO ITZHAK ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️ F.

Tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears of longing, tears of belonging.....

I am sitting here crying, remembering my mother and father singing these songs they were survivors and lost everything all they had were memories of their life before. Both my parents families lived in Poland for generations. SO VERY SAD THAT THE WORLD ALLOUD THIS TO HAPPEN.

Niemals habe ich jüdische Musik gehört. Sie überträgt tiefste Wehmut, höchste Fröhlichkeit und dann habe ich Lust zum Tanzen. Maestro ich bedanke mich. Ich liebe jeder Ihrer Interpretationen. Recht herzlich Dank!!

Сильно.мелодия завораживает! Валерий Козырев, Белокаменная. Старый Арбат,Калошный переулок. Память крепко держит мелодию моего детства.

Music of the soul and deepest fibers of the heart , beautiful ❤️

Merveilleuses Jewish melodies. Shalom

Always a great experience to listen to Itzhak Perlman perform. His performances are just magic.

Плачет скрипка иль смеётся - В сердце песней отзовётся... Веселится иль грустит - В небо птицею летит... Благодарю, маэстро, за великолепное исполнение.

🎻 { ITZHAK PERLMAN } 🎻 " Thanks so much for sharing this music from this talented man with your viewers/listening audience ! " 🎻 [ 👍👍 ] 🎻

This is a man whose talent is sublime..otherworldly.. I love anything and everything he plays, but especially music from my own heritage. I sang this song for my Grandmother and Mother. I can actually hear each Yiddish word to the song spoken with each note and phrase Maestro Stern plays . He truly resonates with the Jewish soul, as clearly demonstrated in this album and his score and performance of the theme from "Shindler's List".

ein großartiger Mensch und Musiker, da habe ich größte Hochachtung vor.

Merveilleux violoniste, merveilleuses mélodies......un moment de grâce , merci pour ces dons reçus et partages. Shalom

Herr Perlmann, DANKE für Ihre Musik. Ich höre sie und muss weinen, vor Glück, dass es soetwas schönes gibt ! Leider bin ich deutsche. Gott schütze Israel und alle jüdischen Menschen und schenke Ihnen Herr Perlmann, ein langes Leben !

The best violinist in the world ever !!!!🇮🇱🇨🇱🇨🇦 ...

Tears for a lost world. Lost for ever!

Let's all work for peace!

Merciiiiii! C’est mon violoniste préféré! C’est merveilleux de le découvrir dans son élément! Il sublime la musique Yiddish!!!!

As a Cantor I’ve sung these songs all of my life and my people have loved and endeared them to their hearts

A heartbreaking performance (especially of my favourite "At the Fireplace") by a musician with BIG heart and an orchestra "in tune".... Can't stop listening and crying...

I miss my mother in law. We always listen to the music when we visited her in Long Island. Memory and comfort, a true joy to listen to. Thumbs up with Itzhak Perlman. Thanks.

Beautiful song and amazing performance by Maestro Perlman.

This Music is so divine. It's reflect the profound sadness the pain of those Who disapeared so tragicly

Oh what a fine memory, the first song was enormously popular when I was a child just after WWII, thank you very much for this marvelous music with Itzhak Perlman.

This is a jewel of the Jewish antologic music. It is wonderfull the Itzaak Perlman's performance. I love it very much.

Una maravilla!!!...mis bendiciones para el pueblo judío y para el Sr.Perlman,que nos hace disfrutar de su talento y Sensibilidad.

Profunda nostalgia. Una vuelta a las raíces. Una interpretación increíble. Un disfrute espiritual.

Jewish melodies are full of sentiment for all aspects of life. "The people of the book" couldn't express better the hardships of its long history. Music and study for wisdom and moral perfection. This is the DNA of European Jewry.

Touches every fiber of my being. Thank you

Music reflects the soul of the composer and his/her people and time. Thank you Itzhak, you have told me eight stories... I have learned of the minds and hearts of the yearning, love, despair and joy... long past yet frozen in time with each composition... a story the does not lie or change, a truth profound if you will only listen.

Man fühlt sich in eine andere Welt. Nur die schöne Gefühle wachen auf ! Hervorragend !Great, wonderful ! Thank You

Прекрасный музыкант и мужественный человек! Восхищаюсь

Very, very beautiful music 🎶 Thank you very much Maestro Ithzak Perlman 🎻🎶🌺

Спасибо за это чудо, слышала первый раз!

Thank you for bringing the memories of my ancestor that were from Minsk, Kovno and Hungaria ~ I am sure they were singing those songs

In the NAME of G-d and EVERYTHING HE CREATED...I am GLAD HE created YOU...Mr. Itzhak Perlman. What a BLESSING YOU ARE to this whole world. THANK YOU..........for EVERY SECOND of devotion and hard work and BEAUTY YOU have so graciously given to US! You understand ....................... how POWERFUL this music IS and will ALWAYS BE.

this music reminds me so much of a friend who passed away about 10 years or so...I still miss him so

The greatest .respect so much .

So berührend schön. Sein Spiel, diese Musik. Göttlich, Dank. Shalom

הלב מדמם אל מול מלחמה ואימה. אבל הצדק הוא של האל, לא של בני האדם. ברוך הוא שמו ואהבתו לכל אדם על פני כדור הארץ. סלח לנו, אדוני. תן תהילה לשמך הקדוש.

Itzhak is my Rembrandt with the violin. Never heard this music played with such soul and I too can see ghosts from the past. Thrilled listening.

Such a magnificent musician ! Thank you for this lovely music

i love Itzhak Perlman i was on his Concert . And i Yeddish music and always make cry . Very sentimental touchy sad a lot of bad memories. .We are very smart and GOOD PEOPLE !!!!

My mom and Yaya took me to see him perform Hebrew melodies at Atlanta symphony hall in 1997. It was incredible. I was so young. Bleacher seats. Yet still phenomenal.

מאד מרגש , מעלה זיכרונות, בצוע נהדר , אין כמוהו !!!!

Great violinist Itzhak Perlman and nice the jewish mother - she is dearer than money.

God bless Itzhak! What a tremendous player and my favorite violinist 👏👏

Such beautiful music from a super talented player like Itzak Pearlmen. God bless you and the Jewish people.

My dear Mr. Perlman, your magical violin always brings tears to my eyes 😢 To Classical Music: Thank you so much for this wonderful music

красивое и эмоциональное представление, которое трогает душу, вызывает воспоминания и заставляет твердо смотреть в будущее.

What a feeling! You go deep inside trying to understand it.

Thank you Maestro. Stay safe, I am happy to think you are somewhere on this wonderful planet...

Perfection. Even the angels have a tear in their eyes..Bravo!!

Love anything Itzhak Perlman does!

Itzhak always say that violin is the most difficult musical instrument for him to play !

Any music this great man wishes to play will be food for the soul. I have most of his Classic albums , and these beautiful folk melodies are just a bonus. Thank you so much for this opportunity ❤!

So touching remembrance of those who suffered. Respect

Simply transports you to a different world, This music speaks to the heart..G-d Bless...

Thank you for this. What a genius and gifted artist is Perlman. I was raised Catholic, but I can hear the ghosts and the anguish in this Music. "Those who do not learn from History are doomed to repeat it.", and yet humankind seems to be hell-bent on destroying each other and our planet. 😢

אתה מדהים! בין המוזיקאים היחידים שנושא בגאווה את יהדותך. הנגינה שלך מבריקה ומושכת את המאזינים! אוהבים אותך!!!

Very beautiful. Thank you.

What a great musician Mr Itzhak Perlman is- he plays popular traditional melodies with the same dedication discretion and finesse as he would if he were playing a Bach work. I have been a fan of his since the 70's when we were amazed that he didn't let his physical problems detract him from his music at all. Wonderful post but please give us the details of the orchestra and conductor who are in this recording. Sorry, found the information right at the end

Спасибо !великолепное исполнение!Вы -бриллиант мирового искусства!

Не думаю ,что можно прокомментировать эмоции , это обесценит все! Начните а А идише маме! Вы можете выразить словами глубину этого посвящения? И не пытайтесь! Просто будем благодарны судьбе за то ,что на свете есть такое явление как маэстро Ицхак Перльман!!!!!

Words cannot describe how beautiful this is

Música muy evocativa , nostálgica y expresiva. En manos de I. Perlman , adquieren una dimensión de concierto.

I remember most of this melody playing on weddings in small town call Tomashpol. I was 6 years old and they touch my hart. But your interpretation have touch hart of 70+ . Bravo Maestro!!!!!!!!!

This was brilliant!! I listen to this when studying the Torah. It helps me focus and clears my mind from worldly thoughts. Toda raba!! Baruch Hashem!

A beautiful rendition.My heart catches its very soulful core. Thank you Mr Itzhak Perlman

Скрипка плачет, ты плачешь. Бездонная грусть в этих мелодиях❣❣❣

Oif'n pripetchik [about 20 minutes in] is one of favourite Jewish melodies. Raisins and Almonds [about 5 minutes further on] is pretty sweet too! And probably nobody plays them better than Perlman.

Music for the heart, soul and mind !

much love to my Jewish brothers and sisters, from a Jewish-born Muslim (mother is Jewish, family escaped pogroms in Russia and Poland and we lost many in the holocaust), praying for peace between Muslims, Jews, and Christians

C'est magnifique ! Bravo, il y a une très grande émotion......My English is not good, but I love thys music. I very like Jewish music 🎶

Sempre um grande artista!👏👏

Thank you Itzik brilliant
