Prayers at Vilna Gaon and Ger Tzedek - Graf Potocki tombs in Vilnus

Vilna Gaon was one of the greatest Jewish Scholar of all times. Ger Tzedek ("Graf" Walentyn Potocki) was the Polish nobleman who converted to Judaism in XVI century, and was burned at stake for this "transgretion". He was buried close to Vilno Gaon and his ashes were moved to the new resting place together with bones of Vilna Gaon - when soviets destroyed Vilnus Old Jewish Cemetery in 1949 - but allowed 7 poeple to be moved from there. In this video, I pray to G-d in Polish reading specific Psalm from Sidur. I hope Ger Tzedek was happy in heaven when he heard my prayer spoken in his mother language.
