For the first time ever, superstar singer Mordechai Ben David performs his classic “B’ein Meilitz Yoisher” live with the Shira Choir and Mendy Hershkowitz.
The song was released originally on the album “Let My People Go” back in 1991, 25 years ago.
This classic MBD song is a song that has captured the heart and soul of so many people over the years. It portrays one of the holy prayers on the high holidays, in typical MBD fashion, by awakening the emotions of these moments.
At a recent event in Montreal where an avid MBD fan requested to hear the most classic of olden oldies, Mendy Hershokowitz pulled this song from the archives, and put it to the test live!
It’s hard to describe the feeling in that room as this song started being performed. As the song continued on, the flow of emotions was palpable in the air as the momentum kept growing throughout.
MBD and Shira choir with this talented orchestra kept building on this amazing melody – composed by MBD himself and re-arranged by Mendy Hershkowitz – to recreate an experience we hope you can relive by watching this video.
yairich yomim al mamlachtoi!!!! hashem should give him many more years to sing with gezunt and chayus
The album “Let My People Go” which this song was originally recorded on, was at the time considered a very controversial album due to the lyrics of the title track which included the word “Hell” twice.

I remember having to defend MBD to my Rebbe in Mesivta for all the great chesed that he has done with his talent for so many special children and their families. Perhaps this song got lost in the controversy at the time. Worthy to mention some other great songs that debuted… Read more »
Thats so beautitful!!
“Let my people go” released -1985
(1991 is when they actually left.)
special thanks to Mordechai Ben david for composing and
bringing us this glorious ,majestical tune.
I think that’s why he’s called Mordechai ben David. I believe his father’s name was David Werdeger…?
Is he the one about whom the story was told concerning his father during WW2. That he was a famous cantor with an especially beautiful voice. He ended up in a concentration camp in a life or death line. He was asked what his skills were by the SS officer (Hashem should erase their names). He said singer, they laughed, but told him to sing. There was total silence when he sang, and after he was sent to the line of life. I’m sorry if I didn’t tell the story well.
Not prancing around the stage like a fool trying to outdo the popular secular singers!
Rich, soulful, respectable & enjoyable to listen to.
I second more of this pleAse
So so beautiful
Doesn’t matter how old this is, it’s still magnificent & the prayer is eternal. He should sing us into the Geulah with Moshiach Tzidkeinu Mamosh!
MBD great job keep up the good work awesome
Listening to this keeps reminding me why MBD is the King!
He was blessed with an incredibly rich voice which is unparalleled by anyone else in the industry even the tier one guys like AF and YS.
Thank you MBD! So beautiful and pure. A breath of fresh air!
