A gesrej un a gevald - Chassidic song from Ukraine - LIVE, recorded during Singer Festival in Warsaw 2022.
Olga Avigail Mieleszczuk - vocal and Kol Ishe Trio - Marta Maślanka (tsimbl), Gosia Szarlik-Woźniak - violin, Izabela Buchowska - cello.
Chassidic often used non-Jewish folk songs and filled them with religious content. This is also the case of this song, where the story of a father, who searches for his children lost in the forest, has become a metaphor for God calling his children to conversion.
