about

Barukh Ate...a yiddish song with lyrics witnessing a father clinging to tradition in the light of the candles, remembering the fight of the Maccabees...Mostly Kosher’s response: this war is yours now...to every listener that hears this song...fight for justice, love so bloodless, from this hour more...

lyrics

Verse 1

Barukh Ate' zingt der ta-te
Un er tzindt di licht
Un di shtraln milde faln
Oyf sayn blas ge zicht
Un a fayer heylik tayer
In di oygn laycht
Un der mider mit di glider
Hot zich oysgeglaycht

**Instrumental break**

Verse 2

Baruch Ate, my father sings
Worn and tired, his faith to which he clings
Hands that tremor with trials of his life
He strikes a match to burn away his strife
He rises, proudly, kindling the light
One by one, eight candles shimmer bright
A fire that’s burning, reflects in his eyes
That burns with hope, determined to survive

**Instrumental interlude + solos**

Bridge

Un es dacht zich, un es tracht zich
S’iz noch e-pes do
S’iz geblibn voz tzu libn
Heylik iz di sho
And it’s here now, and it’s yours now,

and this world is yours
Fight for justice, love so bloodless, from this hour more

Yiddish Translation:

“And it seems, and it appears, there is still something here. ...something has remained to love;
holy is this hour.”
