Gem of Classical Jewish Liturgy

The ode Yedid Nefesh (Soul Friend) by Kabbalist Rabbi Elazar Azkari is deeply endeared by Jews around the world. A wide variety of melodies are used for its performance. In the Israeli National Sound Archives I came across an unfamiliar performance of Yedid Nefesh by an unknown youth vocal group named Lahakat HaUzim adapting the ode to a charming melody. In the present performance of Yedid Nefesh, my vocal contribution is attached to the original singing of the youth vocal group.
