#and the internet is terrifyingt

[applesauce42069]

by the time i was born there was no one left to teach me yiddish songs. only a few people could even tell me which yiddish songs existed, and nobody did, because the world and the society where we spoke and sang in yiddish was destroyed.

music is very special to me and it is something i use very frequently to connect to myself, to my community, to hashem. i play a lot of jewish music, mostly in hebrew.

but i worked to teach myself to sing in yiddish, copying the pronunciation by listening to recordings on the internet. i love the way yiddish feels in my mouth and i love the way it sounds when i sing it.

and i love this song, because its a beautiful song in yiddish about jews just... living. being. loving. flirting. listening to music.

freylach zol zeyn everyone. may we be happy.
