In this moving video, David Mandler sings Eishet Chayil as an ode to his late grandmother, Chaya Hentche bas Chenoch, at her funeral in Budapest. This solemn tune begins with his own composition before switching to other traditional melodies. Despite poor acoustics, this video demonstrates how Eishet Chayil is often used to praise a woman posthumously, perhaps based on the tradition that suggests that it was originally written as a eulogy by the forefather Abraham for Sarah. Mandler, who moved to the United States from Budapest in 1990, is a teacher, author and scholar who writes a blog in Hungarian exploring his thoughts, feelings, and reactions to Hungarian, American, Israeli, and Jewish issues. He requests that anyone who is moved by this song recite a chapter of Psalms in memory of his grandmother in order to elevate her soul.Â
