A beautiful, sweet, yearning, graceful Modzitz Hassidic melody affiliated with "The Admor Shaul Yedidya of Modzitz (1887-1948)." It's simple, with just voice and steel-stringed guitar (and a baglama?)

The Maftirim, Jewish cantors + musicians, composed the Maftirim repertoire of 16th-17th century sacred musical poems (piyutim). This syncretic, liturgical music was a cross-pollination of Sephardic Jewish music, Ottoman court music, + Turkish Sufi music.
