In the midst of the thirtieth anniversary of the passing of the legendary composer and creator, the father of authentic Hasidic music, who wrote hundreds of works, many of which have become treasured possessions throughout the Jewish diaspora - Rabbi Ben Zion Shenkar, the late, the Yahad Choir presents a moving rosary composed of the best of his melodies, which opens with the captivating melody "May your will be done well," moves to the nostalgic composition "And to Jerusalem, your city," and ends with the rhythmic melody "Soon it will come" - with the common denominator among the rosary pieces being the longing and supplication of the people of Israel for the coming of our righteous Messiah and the speedy construction of the Temple in our day.

 The rosary was performed at a celebration held in Bnei Brak, with the solo being performed by the harpist Dov Friedman and the keyboards by Shimi Sklar.
