Enjoy this fabulous video of rising star Yisroel Adler, the very talented Shira Choir and a rich, rhythmic orchestra playing a beautiful waltz composed by the world famous Chasidic composer R’ Yankel Talmud Z”L. Gorgeously rewritten, arranged and conducted by Tzvi Blumenfeld in honor of the annual Dinner of Mir Yerushalaim which took place at the Ateres Golda Ballrooms in Boro Park, Brooklyn.

Yaakov Dov (Yankel) Talmud (18 December 1885 – October 1965) was a Hasidic composer of Jewish liturgical music and choirmaster in the main synagogue of the Gerrer Rebbes both in Ger, Poland, and in Jerusalem, Israel. Known as “the Beethoven of the Gerrer Rebbes”, he composed dozens of new melodies every year for the prayer services, including marches, waltzes, and dance tunes. Though he had no musical training and could not even read music, Talmud composed over 1,500 melodies.
