Is this sung in Yiddish? The only word I can make our is 'Gevalt'.

I don't know what happened to my reply from yesterday. Anyway: though I have some trouble with the pronunciation etc. in essence this is a parody on the religious traditionalists, represented here by a young Gerer (follower of the Hasidic Rabbi of Gora Kalwaria) who engages in fervent religious studies but abhors anything modern.

Amazing, these revue pieces which were recorded. Lovely voice. Precious photos of a gone world. I especially love the Purim costume party one.

Treasures to cherish. TY

It's unique photographic material you have chosen to acompany this equally rare song!  Thank you for sharing.

Those shtetl photos are amazing. Where did you get them?  Could easily be my family, though they lived further north. Danke!
