Overview
Tamara Gverdtsiteli spent her childhood in Odessa in a Jewish environment (her grandfather was a rabbi).{{cite web |author= |url=http://glamur.co.il/tamara-gverdciteli-spoet-v-izraile-na-idish-o-mame/ |title=Тамара Гвердцители споет в Израиле на идиш о маме|language=Russian |website=Glamur |date= 2017-07-09|access-date=2021-02-27}} According to her, many of the songs presented on the album were played at her home, so she wanted to remember them and convey the warm home atmosphere, and at the same time to remember the tragedy of the lives of Jewish people who were forced to leave Odessa during the war in 1941. The singer dedicated this album to her mother, and, according to her, this work is very dear to her.{{cite web |author= |url= https://www.rabochy-put.ru/culture/88989-tamara-gverdtsiteli-professiya-pevitsy-vsegda-predpolagaet-borbu.html |title=Тамара Гвердцители: "Профессия певицы всегда предполагает борьбу"|language= Russian |website=Рабочий путь |date= 2017-08-10 |access-date=2021-02-27}} Gverdtsiteli selected the material for the album together with the artistic director of the Moscow Jewish Men's Chapel, Alexander Tsalyuk.
The songs from the album were presented a year before the release of the record, in June 2016 on the stage of New York's Carnegie Hall. Later, this program was called "Mamele-Mama's Eyes", with which the singer gave concerts in Russia and Israel.
