Sounds like Old Ukrainian, this song must have originated in Ukraine. Very nice, touching the very soul.

My soul thirsts for You, my body yearns for You. (Tehillim, 63:2) One of the oldest Chabad tunes. The first section describes the thirst of the soul as it cries out in longing to G-d. The second part set to words in Russian, describes the agony of the soul as it chides the evil inclination evil which obstructs its spiritual quest: Hey, you foolish Mark! Why do you travel to the market? You don't buy, you don't sell, you only cause strife! The evil comes to this world (market) not to "buy" acquire Mitzvot nor to "sell" or nurture others with Mitzvot, it only causes strife between the Jew and G-d.

Perfect ... I love it... I love you.. it the right way... All donations at of the Love for God will be kindly welcome and taken in for the wealth of my people.

Avraham Fried's

Amazing. His music projects itself out in the world. When one who is engrossed in secular life hears Avraham's music, they can't help but turn their head from what they are doing and long to be a part of something higher. It makes me want to daven, listen to the words of Torah from Rebbe recordings, and more.
