One of my favourites and good medicine... My soul rejoices, and it desperately needed it today... Shalom fiel...

Great tune also a hit at the Bagel Shop.
We play it at least twice the speed.
Freylakh on !

This seems a better time signature for it?
I hope this wasn't a case of not crediting a source... There isn't a note of difference, not in pitch or length, but hey, maybe everybody plays it exactly this way?
