Baltimore, MD - Feb. 11, 2023 - Composed by Chaim Schecter's grandfather - Luzer Meilich Gold, masterfully arranged by Jonathon Leshnoff and beautifully sung by Chazzan Yoni Rose, this century old Shoshanas Yaakov had until recently only been known to the Gold family. Luzer Meilich Gold was born  in Ropczyce, Poland around 1867. He was a shochet, a mohel and a composer. Only available to the family on various tape recordings, the descendants of Luzer Meilich Gold have decided to commit his music to paper and share it. This is the first of hopefully many of his compositions to be shared.
