A line from the weekday prayer Ezrat Avoteinu and the Shabbat prayer Nishmat. The melody, in two parts, celebrates the Exodus from Egypt and is sung with great joy and enthusiasm, particularly during the Passover holidays. It also voices hope for the future liberation. Originally the melody was a favorite of the famous Chassid Rabbi Hillel Paritcher, a Chassid of the Tzemach Tzedek, the third Chabad Rebbe. Brought to the fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe for Pesach 5660 (1900) by the Chassidim of Nikolayev, Ukraine, the melody is currently a great favorite.

Esther Mae: African Jewish music You might like a CD called "Abudaya" of very beautiful music from a community of African Jews. Very different from chassidishe music! Reply

which CD? There's a link right under the song that says "Click here to order the CD," but it goes to a page with many different CDs to choose from. I've been searching through all the relevant website pages, but I don't see any way to tell which CD this song is on, or what songs are on any of the CDs. Can anyone help with that? Thanks! Reply

Song Very interesting comment Esther Mae! The singers are not at all African. In fact, they are chassidim who are mainly Russian and Ukrainian immigrants. Enjoy! Reply

Song-Mimitzraim Gealtonu
That song IS BEAUTIFUL! It sounds like it is being sung by African Jews. I "LOVE" African music that's traditional & not modern. If I'm correct about Africans singing it could you please tell me which country, what tribe, what language & anything else about the way they practise their Jewish beliefs?
Sincerely,
Esther Mae Gorton
P.S. Thank you for your free website/e-magazines, etc. I really appreciate the info. I have learned A LOT from them & I am not in a position to pay.

in response to Brandl RIfka:
Please, what is mitzraim in Hebrew, and do you please have the letters (link to the psalm in Chabad) of this song in Hebrew?
Thankyou
