New Music Video Features Sacred Modzitz Melody Ahead of High Holidays

By כיכר השבת, מלך הלפגוט
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

A new music video has been released featuring a sacred melody from the Modzitz Hasidic dynasty, performed by singer Dudi Kalish and vocalist Yanki Osh. The song, 'Der Poylisher Hamol,' was originally composed by Rabbi Shaul Yedidya Elazar of Modzitz, known as the 'Emek Shaul.' This melody was historically popular among Polish Jewry and is described as evoking deep longing and pure Jewish emotion.

The music video was filmed during a special event in Jerusalem organized by the Pozles real estate agency. The performance aims to capture the spiritual essence of the period leading up to the High Holidays, a time when the Jewish music world often releases new songs.

Both Kalish, known for his emotive performances, and Osh contribute a deep sense of feeling and authenticity to the rendition. The collaboration is presented as a blend of Hasidic tradition and high-quality production, intended to resonate with listeners and connect them to their roots.

The release is part of a broader trend of new musical works appearing as the High Holidays approach. The song's creators hope its ancient melody and lyrics will inspire introspection, prayer, and a closer connection to God during the upcoming Days of Awe and repentance.
