Bentzi Kletzkin is a young singer, and his titles call him the Bochur HaPeleh - the wonder boy. His songs are the words of the Torah, the siddur and the Zohar, sung in a boy's voice beside the grown singers and choirs of the Chassidic stage.

For Dirshu - the organization of learners who go through Shas and halacha on a daily schedule - he sings "Achas Sha'alti", the verse of Tehillim 27 in which David asks for one thing only, to dwell in the house of Hashem all the days of his life; "Ratza HaKadosh Baruch Hu" with Arale Samet, the closing words of Makkos: Hashem wished to give Israel merit, so He gave them much Torah and many mitzvos; "Ikar Limud HaAdam" with Zanvil Weinberger; and "Vehi Zari".

From the prayers and the Zohar he sings "Kegavna", the passage of the Zohar said on Friday night as Shabbos comes in, here sung anew; "Lechol Kahala Kadisha Hadein", the Aramaic blessing said over the congregation on Shabbos morning; and "Ve'atem HaDeveikim BaShem", the verse of Devarim read before the Torah reading - you who cling to Hashem your G-d are all alive today. With Rabbi Ephraim Mendelson he sings "Shema Beni" - hear, my son, the teaching of your father - from Mishlei. "Maoz Tzur" for Chanukah is a duet with Motti Vizel, and "Meine Tefillin" is a song to sing along about a boy's tefillin.

To find your way here: his songs stand in three rooms. The Dirshu songs come first - "Achas Sha'alti", "Ratza HaKadosh Baruch Hu", "Ikar Limud HaAdam" and "Vehi Zari" - then his singing at weddings, siyumim, a bris and in Meron, and then his other songs, from "Kegavna" and "Lechol Kahala Kadisha Hadein" to "Maoz Tzur" with Motti Vizel and "Meine Tefillin". Each title on the page is given in English beside its Hebrew, so a listener who does not read Hebrew can still find the song he is looking for, and the Hebrew stays as it was posted.

Much of his singing is at a simcha: weddings in Keter HaRimon with the Malchus choir, Zanvil Weinberger and Arale Samet, in Rishon LeZion with Shloimy Meir, and in Manhattan at the home of Reb Berel Weiss; the chuppah with Beri Weber; the bris of Avreimi Goldstein and a siyum for the students of the Sanz yeshiva with the Malchus choir led by Pinchas Bichler; the central siyum of those who learn the daily chapter of the Rambam; and Lag BaOmer in Meron, with a candle lighting for guests from abroad. He sings with the young chazzan Moishy Barzel, with Shmulik Sukkot and the Neshama choir, and with Sruly Kletzkin in a Shabbos medley with the Kappella choir. Each song opens on its own page, with no ads and no comments around it.
