Artist Mendel Roth sat up all night on Lag Baomer in the Satmar Beis Medrash in Boro Park, where he sat in pain and bewilderment until the morning, at which point he found himself humming a tune which he put to the words Vateitzei Eish Milifnei Hashem Va’Tochal Osam, Vayidom Aharon. Adding Yiddish lyrics as well, together with the Shir V’Shevach Boys Choir, the song was produced by Shmili Steinberg.
