המארש של אברהם געייגער

עמ' 43

Editor's note: Avraham "Avrumtche" Geiger was the president of the hevra kadishah of the Oiseh Hesed shtibel and had once been the gabbai (attendant) of the Bluzhever Rebbe, Rabbi Tzvi Elimelekh Spira of Bluzhov (1841-1924). Reb Zalman had this to say of him and his ''march'': [...] Reb Avrumtche also led the davvenen (prayers) at the Oiseh Hesed shtibel and liked these Souza-type marches. This niggun of his always reminded me of a melody stolen from the marching band for the emperor, so I call it Arumtche Geiger's March
