ווידעאָ: ליפּא שמעלצער זינגט „וואָס איז נײַעס“VIDEO: Lipa Schmeltzer singing ‘Vos iz Neias’

דאָס ליד, געשאַפֿן פֿונעם פּאָפּשטערן, שפּיגלט אָפּ דעם אינטערעס בײַ מענטשן צו הערן כּסדר וואָס ס’טוט זיך אין זייער וועלטל.

בײַם אָנהייב פֿון דער קאָראָנע־פּאַנדעמיע האָט דער חסידישער פּאָפּשטערן ליפּא שמעלצער אַרויסגעלאָזט דאָס געראָטענע ליד „וואָס איז נײַעס“. אין דעם ליד באַשרײַבט ער די נײַגעריקייט וואָס ייִדן ווײַזן אַרויס זיך צו דערוויסן די לעצטע פּלאָטקעס און אַנדערע ידיעות פֿון זייערע קרײַזן און פֿון דער וועלט בכלל.

ווי זײַנע אַנדערע לידער, ווײַזט שמעלצער דאָ אַרויס אַן אמתן חוש פֿאַרן אופֿן ווי מענטשן פֿירן זיך און פֿאַרן לשון וואָס זיי ניצן. אויך די גראַמען זענען מלא־חן.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover. All donations are being matched by the Forward Board - up to $100,000.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.

The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
