The Hasidic singer Avraham Fried Releases a joyful new song, which comes with an unconventional story – a surprising connection to his personal roots:
""I didn't know this tune until someone sent it to me – and I fell in love with it at first hearing. I decided to record it, and during the recording I asked: 'What is the name of the tune?''
""To my surprise, they answered: This is the 'Niggun of Rabbi Chaim Isaac Krasniansky' – my wife's great-grandfather! He was a well-known Hasid in the Squira Hasidism, who brought with him many melodies from Russia to America. "At that moment I understood why I was so attached to this tune in the first place.""
