Vurka and Amnishov Hasidic Shalom Aleichem Melody

This almost 8 minute long song presents the Shalom Aleichem melody used by the Vurka and Amshinov Hasidic dynasties. With its heavy instrumental style, arranged by Gavriel Saks, this rendition is quite sombre and emotive. The Amshinov dynasty, named after a town in Poland, was founded by Rabbi Yaakov Dovid Kalish in the 19th century as an offshoot of the Vurka dynasty. The current Amshinover Rebbe, Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Yeshia Milikowsky, lives in Jerusalem.
