Ashreichem Israel - ישראל אשריכיםUnknown Author About the Piyut This Piyut, from the Persian tradition, is written in a Jewish-Persian dialect. As the opening sentence of the song suggests, this Piyut is traditionally sung during friendly, informal gatherings. The repetitive nature of the text (repeating the word ashrei over and over) is appropriate for the social setting of the Piyut. The simple, heartwarming melody is also fitting for the straightforwardness of the request for redemption.
