HADASSA YESHURUN

Finally after many years, the lovers of the Assyrian music have discovered the magical sound of the Assyrian-Israeli dialects. The Assyrian Jews from Israel, like most other Syriac-speakers living in the western countries, place great emphasis on the preservation of their heritage, language, and traditions. They speak a unique Assyrian dialect called “Lishan Noshan” (“our own language”).

Historically, music has been one of the most resourceful ways to introduce history and language to the younger generation. That is exactly what Hadassa Yeshurun, an Assyrian artist from Israel, has done to ensure the survival of her people’s vanishing identity.

Hadassa, whose roots are from Urmia, Iran, was born in Binyamina, Israel. She moved to Holon with her family at a very early age where she began singing in the kindergarten. As a talented young girl, she continued singing at school and later became an active member of a chorus group. Soon she entertained at private parties, and at age 19 she had her first appearance in a formal event in Israel.

“Like a young Aramaic woman, I would like to preserve my language its folklore and costumes”, says Hadassa. Hadassa has recently released a new CD titled “Hal Iman” (Until When), containing 12 songs. Her previous productions are listed below, including Aramaic songs in Urmi, Bokan, Sablach, and Jewish Aramaic dialects.

1. “Hal Iman” or “Until When” - 2002
2. “Lishan Noshan” or “Our Own Language” – 1998 (as a co-singer with Mr. Nissan Aviv).
3. “Od Yaftzia Hashakhar” or “The Dawn Will Come Out” - 1996
4. “Essa Toda” (I would like to say thanks) – 1991
