David Werdyger (Hebrew: אלתר דוד יצחק ורדיגר) (30
October 1919 – 2 April 2014) was a Polish-American Hasidic Jewish hazzan and solo singer who was considered one of the pioneers of 20th-century Jewish music. A Holocaust survivor who was incarcerated in several Nazi concentration camps, including the factory run by Oskar Schindler, Werdyger moved to Brooklyn, New York, after World War II and began recording albums featuring the music of the Bobov, Boyan, Skulen, Melitz, Radomsk, and Ger Hasidic dynasties, recording 60 albums in all. He also founded and operated a successful travel agency, Werdyger Travel, and established the Jewish record label, Aderet Records, now managed by his son Mendy. He was the father of popular Jewish singer Mordechai Ben David and the grandfather of Jewish singers Yeedle (Mordechai's son) and Yisroel Werdyger (Mendy's son). Werdyger collaborated with well known musical arrangers and directors including, Velvel Pasternak, Vladimir Heifetz, Yaakov Goldstein, Yisroel Lamm, Herschel Lebovits, Moshe Laufer, and others for his recordings.
