Before you move on to the next stop of this IWalk, you can listen to an excerpt from a unique recording of the voice of the chief cantor of the Ústí synagogue, Samuel Borodkin.
In the recording from 1914, he sings the hymn Tzadik Katomor, as arranged by Louis Lewandowski. The text is based on Psalm 92-13: “The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar of Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord, who grow in the courts of our God, will still bear fruit in gray hairs, they will remain strong and fresh, to declare that the Lord is upright, his rock, and there is no wickedness in him!”
Recording from the collections of the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections Center, Mayrent Yiddish Recordings, Mills Digital Collections.
