Search - Eitan Masuri :: Mashiach: 27 Best Chassidic Songs

The roots of Chassidic music lay in nineteenth century Eastern Europe. The Chassidim composed melodies for words from the scriptures in order to express their admiration for their Rabbi. These were usually performed in the courts of the Admur, in the presence of many Chassidim who, while singing, would dance and sway to the beat of the music. During the second half of the twentieth century, the popularity of Chassidic music rose among Jews, primarily in Israel and the United States.
