A Lubavitch tune is adding some Chassidic flavor to the new album of alternative Israeli-Jewish rock band Hamadregot.
Anim Zemiros, as taught by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 5722, is one of the 18 songs on the album called “Etz.”
Hamadregot is a duo of Ilan Domri and Hod Dayan who are popular in the Mizrahi circles in Israel.
While the Anim Zemiros poem is sung in many communities at the end of Shabbos morning services, it was not included in Chabad’s Tehilas Hashem sidder composed by the Alter Rebbe.
It was written by 12th-century Kabbalist Rav Yehuda Hachassid of Germany.
On Simchas Torah, after Hakafos and the Yomtov meal, the Rebbe has taught to the Chassidim in 770, noting that Kabbalah mentioned the poem in high regard.

It has that new wave twist. Doesnt sound anything like the old style song. Even a bit off tune, lol. It grows on you.
They way he sings it is a complete remake….so beautiful, his voice is pure and you can feel the nigun through the chords they use….not the typical Jewish Aminor.
nice – these guys are good, very smooth, no shtick – the way a nigun should sound.
friends,
let’s all take a deep breath. a remake does not mean it’s a new tune. it is a new way of singing it. if you think this is the typical way of singing it, please tell me where you’ve been farbrenging and why i was not invited.
i think it’s original and awesome!!!
this is like the oldest version of this song!! how in the world is it a “remake” !!????
pretty much the same way lubavitchers sing it
He has a beautiful pure voice
How is this a ‘remake’? There is nothing novel about the arrangement, pretty old-hat, actually.
