Haotzar Shebalev - Simcha Jacoby

Haotzar Shebalev is the title track of my debut album, a project I’m pouring my heart into, and I’m proud to share it now as the first glimpse of what’s to come very soon.

This song reflects the journey we all go through, searching far and wide for meaning while the truth is often much closer than we realize. It carries a sense of hope and light, opening a space to feel and connect in a way that speaks straight to the heart.

I hope you enjoy, and don’t forget to subscribe. The album is right around the corner.

An Inside Look at Mesamche Lev - Episode 1

Mesamche Lev is one of the largest charity organizations in Israel. It serves over 85,000 individuals from over 23,000 families in Israel; and close to 500 single parent families in the United States.

Our Vision
is to put food on every plate, shoes on every child’s feet, and joy in every heart in Israel.

Our Mission
is to support the poor, including widows, orphans, Torah scholars, and others; through compassionate, innovative programs that bring joy to broken hearts as they preserve the dignity of recipients.

Rabbi Yaakov Singer - Bakshu Fonai

Dovid HaMelech was always praising, composing and singing beautiful songs to Hashem. He encouraged us to do the same "שירו לה' שיר חדש" - SING TO HASHEM A NEW SONG. Truth be said, we have so many reasons to be thankful and sing to Hashem.

So here we are with a new meaningful song "בקשו פני" for the start of חודש אלול. What better time is there then now, to release this hartzedeke melody, as we begin reciting twice daily these holy words in the prayer of "לדוד ה' אורי וישעי". It is Hashem’s timeless message to Dovid HaMelech and to all of us. "Seek and be aware of My Presence, everywhere, all the time". This must be our number one priority and lifes mission. Hashem says, make sure I am involved in your life and take Me into consideration in all your decisions. To that end I thank Hashem for once again conveying His holy message through me in this beautiful melody and simultaneously through the release of the new holy Sefer לפניך. Living Lefonecho Lives is Hashem’s foremost will for all of us.

Avraham Fried & Yossi Fried - Der Pastech

Composed by Yossi Fried.

Translation

Dovid Hamelech said:
“I sit here in the forest, upon a little board,
in exile, so worn and troubled,
like a lost little sheep.”

And the question immediately arises:
Why does Dovid compare himself to a sheep,
and not choose another parable?

Only Dovid understood, and wished to remind You:
A sheep searches and searches for its shepherd,
yet cannot find him.
The shepherd must give it a sign,
or come himself.

So too with a man who has lost something:
Who seeks after whom?
It is the owner who searches for his lost possession.

Holy Creator, You surely know the meaning:
we are Your lost little sheep.

Only Dovid understood, and wished to remind You:
The Jewish people search and search for their Shepherd,
yet cannot find Him.
Holy Creator give us already a sign,
so that we may come home!

TYH Game Show

Off the streets and into the studio!

The Yid on the Street has finally found his home… and UH-OH, it’s right in the middle of a SERIOUS trivia standoff.

Two teams go head-to-head in a whirlwind of games like Rabbi Roulette, Rav Shayala’s Shopping Haul, and Are You Smarter Than a Yidling? — only to be thwarted at every turn by Bubby Bubkis and her cynical box of bubkis.

Will they rise above the sabotage? Or will they crumble under the pressure of bubby’s wrath? One thing’s for sure… only one team can walk away as the first-ever TYH Game Show Champions.

Expect laughs, chaos, Torah knowledge, and a whole lot of simcha.

OJBA Mid-Atlantic 2025 Overview

What a great day it was at the Baltimore Convention Center. The #OJBA community came together — familiar faces… new connections… and the kind of energy that reminds us why we do this.

The spacious venue gave room for real conversations and quality opportunities. As one attendee put it: “So many kind people, always smiling, always have a positive thing to say.” And the business results followed — another person shared: “Whoever I saw was basically a quality lead. I made some good leads here today.”

That’s what happens when the OJBA community comes together for a day.

On December 10th at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in New Jersey, we’ll do it again… another chance to connect, build relationships, and grow your business.
