Description

[Informant’s name in tape log inside box is given as:] ”Lerer” Zakhar. [Singer’s name is taken from YIVO database, based on book “Yiddish Folksongs from the Ruth Rubin Archive.” Ruth Rubin’s typed catalog (R6620, black hard-bound notebook) gives name as: S. Zachar.] Not all of these songs are Chassidic [sic]. Some are anti-Chassidic; others are Moshiach [sic] songs, etc. It should be noted that the songs rendered by Zachar here, are being sung by a very old man. No doubt, when he first sang these songs some 50 years ago, he must have done so with a good deal more spirit and energy.
