In the History section, I don't understand the word choice of "Jewish" in this phrase: "Often he adapted Hungarian folk songs, adding Jewish words." 'Jewish' isn't a language - Hebrew or Yiddish, maybe? Or is it that he addded Jewish themes to these songs in Hungarian (or Hebrew, or Yiddish)?--134.192.8.10 (talk) 16:46, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

why was it changed from "Kalov (Hasidic dynasty)"? Itzik18 (talk) 19:12, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is purely written from the Jew side of the story and not from the german. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.93.27.237 (talk) 21:47, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

This article needs to cite its sources. For instance, I'm interested by the similarity of the lines below to the article by Joseph Horowitz posted at http://www.budowitz.com/Budowitz/Essays_files/Klezmer%20and%20Tanchaz.pdf:

Horowitz: "Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Taub ... was known as the "Sweet Singer of Israel (1744-1828). He composed many popular Hasidic melodies and often adapted Hungarian folk songs by substituting Jewish words for Hungarian ones.... He taught that the tunes he heard were really from the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, and had been lost among the nations over the years until he found them and returned them to the Jewish people. He supported this claim by asserting that the Gentiles who taught him the songs soon forgot them as soon as the Rabbi learned them." (66)
Present article: "Rabbi Isaac grew to be a great rebbe and was known as "the Sweet Singer of Israel". He composed many popular Hasidic melodies. Often he adapted Hungarian folk songs, adding Jewish words. He taught that the tunes he heard were really from the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, and were lost among the nations over the years, and he found them and returned them to the Jewish people. He said that the proof that it was true was that the gentile who would teach him the song would forget it as soon as the rebbe learned it."

It sounds like this article is paraphrasing Horowitz, but if it's possible they're both drawing from a common source I'd very much like to find it. —AbdiViklas (talk) 05:29, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
