One of those songs, M.-L. Halpern’s “Az du vest batsoln, bruder...”, crossed the ocean to become a folksong even during the composer’s lifetime.

In Bălți he met the folk ballad composer and singer Zelig Bardichever and was the first one to perform his songs on stage.

Lider Mit Nigunim", published by Hersh Segal in Czernowitz, 1939, were written down following Leibu Levin's singing and interpretation.

He performed for six more years, -- three of them together with Nechama Lifshitz, -- but then had to leave the stage, because his health had been severely undermined during the time he spent in prison camps.

The songs to texts by Hebrew poets, with Hanan Winternitz’s piano arrangements, were published in 1990 in the Nisimov Music Library in Tel Aviv.

The anthology contains 49 songs to poems by 21 Yiddish poets (I. Manger, H. Leivick, A. Reisen, H. N. Bialik, M.-L. Halpern and others), photos and drawings.
