This original melody for Eishet Chayil comes from Yosef Karduner‘s album, « Dibur Pashut » (« Simple Talk »). An Israeli Hasidic singer, songwriter, and composer, Karduner is heavily influenced by the teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, the founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement. Comprised of Biblical texts, Psalms, and Rebbe Nachman’s teachings, Kardunder’s original music is filled with hope, faith and joy. This melody alternates between parts that are slow and soulful and those that have an upbeat, Klezmer-influenced tone.
