Nichoach - Chassidic Melodies

Vesomachto

Lyrics:

Transliteration:

Vesamachtah Bechagechah Ve'hayisa Ach Same'ach

Translation:

"And thou shall rejoice in your festivals... And you shall be altogether joyful."

Deuteronomy 16:14, 15

This lively tune of three stanzas is sung by Chassidim during the holidays, particularly on the holiday of Simchat Torah. The melody is very old, but only the last two stanzas were known. The first has been restored by recourse to the tradition preserved by the elder disciples from Kfar Chabad, Israel.

The words adapted to this melody follow the tradition of the veteran Chabad community in the Holy Land. In spite of its antiquity the melody is sung with youthful fervor and enthusiasm.

Composed or Taught By
Elder Chabad Chassidim from Kfar Chabad

Vocalists
Zalman Levin
