אחד מי יודע - מאטי אילאוויטש & יודי ביאלוסטוצקי | Echad Mi Yodea - Motty Ilowitz & Yidi Bialostozky
One of the ‘piyuttim’ found in the Haggadah Shel Pesach is the chant of “Echad Mi Yodea” (see lyrics below). This traditional song enumerates various concepts and teachings in a pattern of a fun and creative buildup.
Motty took the first seven verses of it and - with a twist of Yiddish translation – composed an original composition, illustrating the poetic acuity and structural buildup of this beautiful, ancient hymn.
The ‘second’ verse is, obviously, "שנים מי יודע" (Who knows two? I know two). Motty thought of an idea… How about having a duet and have ‘two’ people sing this?
With the addition and stunning combination of the beautiful voice of the famous singer Yidi Bialostozky, the result was “one” of a kind!
Nothing is more sweeter that the voice of a child expressing “four are our holy Mothers”! Child soloist Gershon Dovid Twersky (Meilech Luria) joined us and added such beauty to the entire concept.
