Der Sudenyu - Our Feast!

There's a classic Yiddish folk song that we sing in the Succa every year, which tells what will happen when Moshiach comes. This year, we were fortunate to host Chazzan Ushi Blumenberg and his lovely family in our Succa. Here's Ushi singing "Der Sudenyu" - the words in Yiddish transliteration and in English translation appear below the clip. Enjoy!
