Well, Im not a jew. My mother is gypsy, my father is slovak, there is also hungarian, ukrainian and little bit of jewish blood flowing through my veins. A cant explain the feeling that Im having listening to this kind of music, its like listening to something that Im carying in my soul for a very long time, I feel very emotional and Im really enjoying it.

Еврейский народ -- самый читающий и музыкальный народ , в котором мальчики с шести лет изучали Тору на иврите , где бы они не жили , поэтому среди них так много композиторов и музыкантов - исполнителей , ученых мирового уровня .
Piękna wersja piosenki, prawdziwa, tak żałuję że świat polskich Żydów został bezpowrotnie unicestwiony, dla mnie żyją i będą żyli w piosenkach, zdjęciach, w miastach u miasteczkach które zwiedzam.
"Tęsknię za Tobą, Żydzie" - wymyślił to hasło Rafał Betlejewski, ale niemal wszyscy lepiej wykształceni i bardziej świadomi polskiej historii Polacy czują to samo.
Love this song. Listened to it seven years ago, and still remember it. A vanished world, but the words, pain and joy, sadness and nostalgia, take you back there.
A great song and a classic Yiddish recording! It's very hard to find recordings like this. Thank you for posting it. This type of music must be preserved and transmitted to future generations. I am trying to do that too, by recording Yiddish music for my own RUclips channel.
Balti is a city in Republic of Moldova, fomerly the Besserabia region of Romania. The song is part of the Romanian nostalgic musicology style called "Doina", reminiscing on the happier times of (in this case) Romanian-Jews in the country of origin. Please also see Rumania Rumania, and Besserabia composed and performed by Jewish diaspora musicians in Yddish, with Romanian folkloric overtones.
The Yiddish song “Beltz, Mayn Shtetele” is a moving evocation of a happy childhood spent in a shtetl. Originally this song was composed for a town which bears a similarly sounding name in Yiddish (belts), called Bălţi in Moldovan/Romanian, and is located in Bessarabia (presently the Moldova Republic). Later interpretations may have had Belz in mind, though[citation needed]. (WIKIPEDIA)
I love the arrangement and the tenor is superb - in my opinion. The uncredited artwork on 2:42(the horse driven carriage in the sky) moved me a lot. It was my dad's favorite songs - he had a beautiful tenor voice - as well. Thanks a million!
Im a jew from israel. I have Ashkenazi heritage i am very much proud and fascinated by it. While learning in the internet i stumble across things such as these. They bring me much happiness and quite honestly, fulfillment.
Nieznane wykonanie, ciekawe, także muzycznie. No a film - więcej takich poproszę. Inteligentny, reżyser wie, co chce powiedzieć. Takich mi brakuje na YT,bez przerwy tylko serduszka, jak nie przebite strzałą, to złączone. Za mało dokumentu. Dziękuję za tę wersję..
Rechtzeit was born in 1908 in Piotrkow and emigrated in 1920 with his father and brother, leaving the mother, sisters and brother in Poland. Quotas prevented them from emigrating. Young Shajele sang for President Calvin Coolidge who was so moved by the child prodigy that visas were granted. He was president of the Hebrew Actors Union. He died.Oct. 14, 2002. I attended his funeral at Riverside Funeral Home in NYC.
So beautiful. And bringing the history together, because I am still crying when listening to this as well as "Unter beymer" ; these are not songs someone made me listen to, I just love them, that's why I feel so excruciantly sad to know their history, it just shouldn't be this way….. it's so unfair. I live in Krakow now and am hoping to move to Kazimierz, still am quite afraid because of it's history. It really shouldn\t be like that.
Oy, oy, oy Belts, mayn shtetele Belts, Mayn heymele, vu ikh hob Mayne kindershe yorn farbrakht. Belts, mayn shtetele Belts, In ormen shtibele, Mit ale kinderlekh dort gelakht.

A beautiful, moving and very popular Yiddish song, pronounced clearly, distinctly and correctly by an excellent singer in pre-war Eastern Europe. A MEKHAIE UN A NAKHAS-RUAKH. DI MESIKESDIKE TENER FUN DER FARMILKHOMEDIKER MIZRAKH-EYROPE TSEGEYEN ZEKH IN ALE EYVRIM.
Iza Kremer was a singer. She later starred in a musical at a theatre on Second Avenue in 1930 opposite Seymour Rechzeit which was entitled The Song of the Ghetto. One of the songs in the musical, "Mayn shtetele Belz", was written for her by American-Jewish composer Alexander Olshanetsky.[2] The song was about her native city and became quite famous. She also made recordings in the United States with Brunswick Records and Columbia Records.[3] (Wikipedia)
This is a recording by Seymour Rexite, a popular splendid tenor, recorded in the USA in the 1930’s (not 1928) and quickly bevmcane popular there and in Poland as well. Written by Alexander Olshanetsky
This song was recorded in 1928 jewish music festival in Galizia, Poland. The recording was published in a DVD with a textbook in 2008. If the song here comes from that DVD than the singer might be my uncle, YERACHMIEL GRUN how was killed in the holocost.
זהו השיר בלז באידיש, מדהים הביצוע המדויק, ספק אם יש היום זמרים כאלה. חן חן ! השיר אומר בהתחלה ; בלז, העיירה שלי בלז, שם שחקתי אותה את ילדותי, האם הייתם פעם בבלז ?... העיירה שלי בלז, זהו המקום שביליתי בו את ימי ילדותי -------
What a beautiful version... and wonderful paintings, I love Sztetl by Kitz who was murdered by Germans in my city Lvov for hiding Jews. That sztetl could have been my father's little town near Lvov. Who knows.......
Кроме песни мне очень понравилось изобразительное искусство в видео-ряде, к сожалению, в России я не встречал альбомов еврейских художников,кроме Шагала . Может быть ,кто-нибудь мне подскажет,где я смогу посмотреть работы этих художников.Очевидно,что я должен сходить в петербургскую Синагогу.Вот вам пример еврейской дискриминации в России,которая продолжается до сих пор на волне русского национал-патриотизма,который возродил наш президент.

A tour de force! Makes me laugh and cry at the same time. The carriage in the sky suggests Chagall, but it can evoke any dreamer(luftmensch) of the old shtetles. Wonder what David will say...
The singer of this recording is Seymour Rechtzeit. This recording is form 1940 on Victor Records. Album Belz [78 RPM] Released 1940 Label Victor 25-5033
sigh there was a wonderful old yiddish song about a stetl, but the channel was closed and the song too. i'm desperately trying to find it again. it was something like" give.. ein stetl" a really old sad song....
Are these the lyrics?SoO_o beautiful, I've just closed my eyes & I can see Belz through the wide open window.I see busy people doing their daily chores.There's a bakery just across the road & the sweet aroma of freshly baked bagels reminds me,it is 1940 & the future seems so uncertain.A basket full of bagels that's what I shall bring along on my way to Warsawa.
I am Polish and I love Jewish culture and I have Jewish friends. It's terrible that there is still anti-Semitism in the world. Interestingly, pre-war Poland had the largest Jewish diaspora in the world, and in Warsaw and Łódź (my hometown) there were the largest Jewish communities/diasporas in the world (the largest one was in New York). This was because Poland was once the most tolerant country in Europe. I would like to go back to the interwar period and see that lost world, and our beautiful pre-war Warsaw... Greetings from Łódź, Poland! God bless you all! 🤍✝❤ P.S. I reccomend you to watch "The Promised Land" from 1974 by Andrzej Wajda, it's about Łódź, the city of 4 cultures
Tak się właśnie zastanawiałem czy masz jakieś nagranie międzywojenne o tematyce świątecznej... święta idą. Czy może być lepszy czas żeby takie nagrania umieścić? Pozdrawiam!
the record we speak about was issued on Victor V-9069-B, approx. in 1940 another funny thing that Rechtzeit WAS in the "Dos lied fun geto" cast! :) BTW Rechtzeit was born in Pietrikow (sorry, but i'm not sure that spelling is correct), near Lodz he was the last president of Hebrew Actors Union in USA
PS it is possible to read on-line the Piotrkow Trybunalski's "Yizkor bukh / Holocaust Memorial book" at NY public library site. this book has "parallel" texts in Hebrew and Yiddish, and was published in Tel-Aviv in 1965
i had scanned a very short article from Zalmen Zylberzweig "Lexicon of Yiddish Theater" about Jewish theater in Piotrków Ghetto of course, its written in Yiddish unfortunately, my English is poor, so i'm trying now to find someone who can translate it as needed
no :( the song was written by Jacobs-Olshanetsky for operetta "Dos lied fun geto / The song of ghetto" in 1932 originally it was DUET, sang by Isa Kremer and Leon Gold (Goldvag) operetta was written especially for Isa, but (it's funny) Gold was born in Bessarabian Beltz too :)
just human, so a song like life, before i was in a nazi party,, since a j go to struttof in france , open mein hertz, i love you all fight against antisemitism, antimuslilim, anti christian. peace and love i know es wird besser sein, soyons heureux ensemble, bonne anné 2020 à vous tous cordialement Lionel

@@betelgezaa yes I know there was also the biggest number of jews in Poland in 1939. 350 000 came back, 10% of the population of before. And how many are there today ? 10 000. It's because polish people refused to give them back their goods and even killed them after the war. During it it's known there was a "hunting of jews" to kill the most of them. And even before the war, didnt the government have a doctrine to kick out the most of them ? Why did so many come to western Europe in the 20th ? The heroism of a part of the population doesnt justify the actions of another.
Well, Im not a jew. My mother is gypsy, my father is slovak, there is also hungarian, ukrainian and little bit of jewish blood flowing through my veins. A cant explain the feeling that Im having listening to this kind of music, its like listening to something that Im carying in my soul for a very long time, I feel very emotional and Im really enjoying it.
I love the echo of old lost world, and who knows, maybe I used to listen to such music in past life. I like to believe in that because I feel this music vibrating inside me. Thank you
Beautiful sentiments!
A lot of the Romani/Hungarian melodies are very similar. I’ve seen a video online of Romani singing Heiveinu shalom aleichem a jewish song
I understand, I feel the same
glad you like my cultre from a Jew
Im catholic, and very dutch and Western European as far as I know. I feel the same, and I can’t explain it.

Farewell , affecting past !
Farewell for ever !
It is definitely the best rendition of this very well known nodtalgic Yiddish song.
All my thanks.
I love the arrangement and the tenor is superb - in my opinion. The uncredited artwork on 2:42(the horse driven carriage in the sky) moved me a lot. It was my dad's favorite songs - he had a beautiful tenor voice - as well. Thanks a million!

This is the song my Father used to sing to me...
Rechtzeit was born in 1908 in Piotrkow and emigrated in 1920 with his father and brother, leaving the mother, sisters and brother in Poland. Quotas prevented them from emigrating. Young Shajele sang for President Calvin Coolidge who was so moved by the child prodigy that visas were granted. He was president of the Hebrew Actors Union. He died.Oct. 14, 2002.

This music is a throwback to to lost time. Thanks for the memories

I live in Krakow now and am hoping to move to Kazimierz, still am quite afraid because of it's history. It really shouldn\t be like that.
this song was written for Isa Kremer. She was born in Beltz , Bessarabia ( Moldova now ). Isa was very famous at her time ( at 20-s).
Belz = Bălți was in România Mare.
My dear friends Beltz is Bełz, it was part of Poland until 1951
Beautiful. I would love to learn the Yiddish language.
Omg, what touching melodies.
Oy, oy, oy Belts, mayn shtetele Belts,

I'm not sure why but this song tore me up...I loved it, :-) Unfortunately I don't hear yiddish any longer.

What an absolutely wonderful song...

i had scanned a very short article from Zalmen Zylberzweig "Lexicon of Yiddish Theater" about Jewish theater in Piotrków Ghetto
of course, its written in Yiddish
unfortunately, my English is poor, so i'm trying now to find someone who can translate it as needed
and the last :)
i have no explain, but Rechtzeit, during his life, had recorded, at least, 4 renditions of "mayn shtetele Beltz"
i'm looking for the COMPLETE lyrics to the song
Yiddish masterpiece, for sure !!!...
✡
beautiful
no :(
the song was written by Jacobs-Olshanetsky for operetta "Dos lied fun geto / The song of ghetto" in 1932
originally it was DUET, sang by Isa Kremer and Leon Gold (Goldvag)
operetta was written especially for Isa, but (it's funny) Gold was born in Bessarabian Beltz too :)
Proud to be a Jew
🥀💔...
Belz = Bălți (România Mare). Today Moldova.
We need Yiddish culture again !!!! 😭
wunderbar
It has nothing to do with Poland. Bălţi is in Moldova.
Mój dziadek urodził się w Bełzie, w domu na przeciwko grose synagoge
just human, so a song like life, before i was in a nazi party,, since a j go to struttof in france , open mein hertz, i love you all
fight against antisemitism, antimuslilim, anti christian.
peace and love i know es wird besser sein, soyons heureux ensemble, bonne anné 2020 à vous tous
cordialement Lionel
The singer in this rendition sounds very much like Seymour Rexite.
Thanks agalin.

Quisiera sabee hebreo para saber que dice la letra de esta cancion que tanto me llamo la cancion
Resulta que esta canción se canta aquí no en hebreo, sino en Yiddish.
Бальзам нп душу! ❤
1) the date when this record was issued i got from YIVO (Institute for Jewish Research). unfortunately, i have no chance to check it
2) sorry :) but this song dedicated to Bessarabian Beltz. next is a small quote from operetta's review:
The incoherent text supplied by William Siegel concerns itself with the pathetic love hunger of a fledging orthodox rabbi of a small Rumanian town for his childhood cousin, Mirele, now a feted singer in Berlin and popularly known as Marytza.
3 Oct, 1932
Escuchan y miran a la cancion judia y piensa...

Poland was the only paradise for Jews in the whole world over centuries. Jews should be extremely grateful to Poland for its hospitality.
But not so much in the 20th century sadly

@@betelgezaa yes I know there was also the biggest number of jews in Poland in 1939. 350 000 came back, 10% of the population of before. And how many are there today ? 10 000. It's because polish people refused to give them back their goods and even killed them after the war. During it it's known there was a "hunting of jews" to kill the most of them. And even before the war, didnt the government have a doctrine to kick out the most of them ? Why did so many come to western Europe in the 20th ?
The heroism of a part of the population doesnt justify the actions of another.
