Wedding Song for the Daughter of Rabbi Yechezkel Dukakis, Av Beit Din of Altona. 1919. Rare


"Yom Zeh L'Ya'akov" - song for the wedding of the bridegroom Ya'akov Rothenstein and the bride Hindel, called Hanna, daughter of Rabbi Yechezkel Dukakis. Not found in the National Library collection.


The chorus of the song is "Yom Zeh L'Ya'akov, " written the style of the song "Yom Zeh L'Yisrael" from the traditional Shabbat zemirot, and is sung to its tune.


Rabbi Yechezkel Dukakis [1868-1944], father of the bride, authored the renowned books Chachmei Ah"u and Ah"u L'Moshav. He studied at the Pressburg yeshivah, which was under the leadership of the Shevet Sofer; one of his peers there was the Mahari"tz Dushinsky. He was the rabbi of Altona beginning in 1936. In 2016, the municipality of Hamburg decided to name a central street in Altona after Dukakis.
