Does anyone know where the Yiddish lyrics can be found?
great voice and a fab performance…but i think he should have involved the audience more, like instead of standing there singing to himself…
but GREAT!
11 & 49
Does anyone know where the Yiddish lyrics can be found?
was so beautiful
Dovi I’ve never met you or heard you before this video. Sick or not you have that element in your voice that makes people melt inside. I only hope to hear more of you in the future. Being that we are in the middle of Pesach, (sefira) may I suggest to post yossele’s ribono shel olam (sfira)
Ty for that song it warmed me up
although Dovi was sick, he had amazing stage presence and his voice is always great
Ok so we know he can make ppl cry
Question is can he make them smile
Hope you wont be a victim of the Jewish music burocratic world. Trust me it’s tough out there I know! I wish u all the luck in the world. U for sure deserve a chance to prove yourself.
When he mentioned the 6000000 saying SHMA YISRUL with that crackle on his voice and his hand motion and facial expression
Ich hob gemeint az du bist gezha
Varimkeit !!!
Low part wasn’t that great I guess that’s where the flu kicked in but the high part was awsome hope to hear u when u better

To 18:
Ty for commenting. However you are mistaken. The tune was composed by R’ Chaim Banet and the Yiddish words were later added by Yonasan Shwartz. Abish Brodt made it famous by singing it multiple times, however the credit goes to the above mentioned …
beautiful performance
i heard Dovi in different occasions….including Rosh Hashona and Yom Kippur……and…WOW!!!!!! no words……he brings up the musics, with an amazing power and personality!
He is awesome in real life I’ve heard him many times, just downright beautiful!!!!
Was at the concert. Hands down 2 best voices were Dovi Minkowitz & Mendel Piekarsky. Wondering why the didn’t win?
What u c here is absolutely nothing compared to what I’ve heard him do. Dovi please post some real good stuff ASAP.
MMK
I heard him sing tal yaasis @ a wedding in CH
SUPERB!!!!
Takes character to go up there with hat n jacket
this was my #1 choice!
Besides his amazing voice and real nice song he sang, he made a kiddush lubavitch, by getting up there in his hat and jacket looking like a chosid! Dovi we’re proud of you!
Is he related to Rubie Minkowitz ?
His voice is amazing!!!! VERY TALENTED!
He def felt the song
his voice is amazing. His choice of song is equally amazing and he doesn’t need to win to be a star!
Dovi you rock you did amazing!
its amazing how he sang with a 101 fever
I do not know how old the Yiddish lyrics are, but the music was composed by R’ Chaim Banet of Vizhnitz-Haifa sometime in the mems if not earlier.
DOVI- YOU HAVE PITCH, POWER, PERSONALITY, AND THE CAPABILITY OF BEING VERSATILE IN SINGING ANY REPETOIRE YOU WISH.. YOU CAN AND G-D WILLING WILL GO TO THE TOP, AND BECOME ONE OF THE GREAT CLASSIC JEWISH SINGERS.
he truly has a amazing voice
i would like to higher him for rosh hashana and yomkipper
and he’s the only one that can make a living from it if he wants to.
great, and the choice of the song was also great.
he goes to bais shmuel
its actually much older then that. its from abish brodt. he has sung it for years at the aguda conventions and siyumei hashas. he has also recorded it.
really enjoyed!!!!
I love yourvoiceand style, would love to see more
Bais Shmuel Chabad
Poolside cafe rocks.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just for that its worth buying a house in evergreen
im a piano teacher and musically critical. so far hes the only one with perfect pitch. sick or no sick hes the only contestant that continuously sang on key throughout his performance.
I was @ the concert. when he got up to sing the room (2500 ppl) was in total silence. You can hear a pin drop. The crowd was mesmerized. I don`t know if i would pick him as a STAR / ENTERTAINER, but he`s got the voice like no other.
What can I say… besides for the fantastic choice of song for that day (TOULOUSE KEDOSHIM) and his dedication to that little girl that needs a Refuah Shleima… he`s the only one that stood in one place and yet had STAGE PRESENCE
Dovi I was at a wedding in LA not too long ago where you sang under the Chuppah. The mic was broken and everyone was wondering what was going to be. you got up there and belted out a Baruch Haba louder and nicer than anyone could sing. I was in total awe. Do you have a Shtelle in a Shul?
to sing like that under his condition is really impressive. i would really like to hear this guy when he`s in top form.
dovi great voice! u had a EMT with u??????
In my eyes he`s the true winner!
I`m a guest in CH for Pesach and I went to Beis Shmuel for davening. Dovi davened Shacharis the 1st day and Mussaf the 2nd. I was truly impressed with his vocal abilities. True the low part of the video was a little rough but the high part was great. It`s not always about running around on stage. Dovi made me cry with this song and Shabbos in Shul i was truly inspired. TY Dovi
he’s from crown heights??!?!?!?! which shul does he go to?????
i was @ the concert with Dovi helping him out with his flu. he had 101 fever and bronchitis. he was in pain and yet went up there contrary to some professional advice. i1m truly impressed that he stood up there in that much agony. besides, sick or not he still got the best voice!!
The lyrics were cut short because of the 3 minute limit. The entire song is so powerful and hartzig. The Yiddish words were written by badchen Yonason Shwartz. He is a emesdike chosid, although not publicly a Lubavither. When I went to his toy store on 18th ave. in Boro Park to ask him permission to sing the song, he gave me a copy of his original rendition. In the meantime here`s a link you can watch on youtube.

Dovi that was truly amazing!
Where can I get the lyrics of the Yiddish additions?
