| Ani Ma'amin |
Maimonides, the Rambam |
Maimonides the Rambam |
Hebrew |
This Hebrew song, written in the Twelfth Century, is by Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon, also known as Maimonides, who
was a great religious philosopher. His Talmudic Psalm Number Twelve from The Articles of Faith, entitled, "Ani
Ma'amin," (I Believe) was later sung by many Jews during the Holocaust, even as they entered the gas chambers. Maimonides' descendants clung to his words for hope for the future and for humankind.

| Di Sapozhkelekh |
As taught to Michael Alpert by Bronya Sakina (Ukraine) |
|
Yiddish |
On the 1994 disc Beyond the Pale, Michael Alpert performs “Di Sapozhkelekh” (The Boots), a song which he learned from Ukrainian-born immigrant Bronya Sakina.
This song is on one of the Mazeltones recordings ("Meshugge
for You", I think) and also the Mejoeches CD: both say in the cover notes that they got it from Bronja Sakina. The clip featured here is by the Goniffs Klezmer Band. |
