In 1992, Joshua Jacobson prepared a joint concert with Zamir and the renowned Klezmer Conservatory Band, for which he arranged the Yiddish song Ale Brider. The text is an adaptation of a poem by Morris Winchevsky (1856-1932) entitled "Akhdes" ("Unity") published in 1890 in a monthly journal of Yiddish culture. In the 1920s, the folklorized song was published by A. Litvin in a Yiddish newspaper. Litvin noted that the song "was the most popular folk song that was sung in the old country."
