Paralleling the journey of Jewish life that seems to frequently pass through the gates of the Mir Yeshiva, Shira Choir collaborated with musical arranger Ruvi Banet at the annual Mir Dinner to perform “Der Bahn” (The Train), a tempo-rubato march that rises and falls as a kaleidoscopic montage of life’s most rewarding travels.
This song was composed decades ago by Yudel Kaufman Edelson, a famous composer from the Modzitzer kehillah. He lived in Warsaw before World War 2 and was known as Rosh Hachazanim (Chief of the Cantors) for his timeless compositions.
