Notes: from the jewish-music listserv: I learned it a few months ago in Berlin from the beautiful norwegian yiddish singer Bente Kahan. Michel Sara: I was just in Vilne (and I too learned it from Bente!) but I've also heard it go by the name of "Twish'n Kosef un Kitef". There are a lot of verses,and I don't speak enough Yiddish that I remember any of them. The verses are all about 'Between Kosef and Kitef is a little [something], where [I learned this as avu, not futer -?] the Baal Shem [founder of Hasidism] would [do something]. The somethings vary with each verse.
