lthough today’s wedding music is frequently about the latest and greatest hits, sometimes the band segues into a familiar intro as guests smile at the sound of a beloved classic. Which gracefully aged songs do you still love to perform at weddings?
Meir Adler (Musician)
One fast older song that I like is “Yehei raavah kadamach desiftach liba’i be’Oraisa” — it’s a very energetic and very hartzige way to conclude a dance set. Another still-goodie is “Laasos Nachas Ruach.” As for slow songs, people still always enjoy hearing the Yiddish classic “Tiereh Yidden” with the refrain “Nor emunah, nor emunah in Borei Kol Olamim.”
