Cantor Rosenblatt Donation to Titanic Victims- July 1913 "אל מלא רחמים"

This morning, while getting mentally prepared to start working (by day I work for a Digital Marketing company doing business development), I came across a very interesting Youtube video with the title "Cantor Yoselle Rosenblat- El Mole Rachamim (for 'Titanik').  I did a double take.  Is this true?  Did Cantor Rosenblatt record a special rendition of El Mole Rachamim in response to this terrible tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic?  Apparently, yes.

I believe this was recorded by Cantor Rosenblatt around July of 1913 for RCA Records.  According to Jpost, Cantor Rosenblatt donated 100% of his rights to the recording, which raised upwards of $150,000 to be contributed to families who lost loved ones on the Titanic.

Though we are 100 years since the tragedy of the Titanic, let's take comfort in knowing that there will always be those who extend themselves to help those who are suffering.

"Exalted, compassionate God, grant perfect peace in Your sheltering Presence, among the holy and the pure, to the souls of all our beloved who have gone to their eternal home. May their memory endure as inspiration for deeds of charity and goodness in our lives. May their souls thus be bound up in the bond of life. May they rest in peace. And let us say: Amen."
