Raisins And Almonds
"Raisins and Almonds" ( yi, ראָזשינקעס מיט מאַנדלען, translit=Rozhinkes mit Mandlen) is a traditional Jewish lullaby popularized in the arrangement by Abraham Goldfaden (1840-1908) for his 1880 Yiddish musical, "Shulamis". It has become so well known that it has assumed the status of a classic folk song. It has been recorded as both a vocal and instrumental by many artists over the years, including Itzhak Perlman, Chava Alberstein, Benita Valente, and Ella Jenkins. It is a common lullaby among Ashkenazi European Jews (Ashkenazim). This song has multiple translations and multiple versions, which have slight changes in both Yiddish and English lyrics.

It was the second-largest ghetto in all of German-occupied Europe after the Warsaw Ghetto.
