The Jerusalem Klezmer
Band was founded by Avrum Leib Burstein in Jerusalem some twenty years ago.
This unique group of musicians play original Klezmer songs passed on for
generations, from father to son, a combination of Yiddish and Hebrew melodies
that originated in Eastern Europe up to 1000 years ago.
Their show is a
mesmerizing combination of dance, theater and music which all together tells
the story of Hassidic life and culture.
Twice a year, in
spring and fall, they go on tour in Europe. The six musicians play clarinet,
trumpet, violin, flute, accordion, and drums.
One of the places
where they put on a spontaneous performance in Israel is on the steps of the
Mamilla Mall in Jerusalem, a venue that attracts all types of musicians and
dance groups, some of which we have featured here on Jewish Humor Central.
In this video, the
Jerusalem Klezmer Band plays a spirited version of Shalom Aleichem, the melody
that is sung throughout the world as Shabbat is welcomed on Friday night. Here
the group took to the streets of Jerusalem on a Friday afternoon before the
onset of Shabbat.
Enjoy, and Shabbat
shalom to all!
