Aryeh Spilman - Yesimcha - Official Audio

Aryeh Spilman, who is a father and a businessman, is also a singer at heart. When he wishes to express his gratitude and thanks to Hakadosh Baruch Hu he likes to use the medium of song.

In honor of the wedding of his dear children Moshe and Sarah, he released a beautiful new single entitled Yesimcha. The song was composed and produced by world renowned Yitzy Waldner. It is a bracha underneath the chuppa at a most auspicious time, to the young couple as they start their own lives together building a Bayis Neeman B’Yisroel. May we all be zoche to have our children grow up to be like Efraim and Menashe and only have nachas from them and celebrate simchas.

Yakov Shwekey - Keli Keli - Music Video

A few days after the terrible disaster on Mount Meron, Yaakov Shwekey presents a new melody to the words “Keli Keli Lomo Azavtoni”, along with a video clip dedicated to the memory of the 45 victims of the Meron disaster.

Shwekey has a personal acquaintance with one of the fallen, the young man Yossi Kahn, from Cleveland, Ohio.

“There are no words to describe the magnitude of the terrible disaster,” says Shwekey. “He affected me as he did all the people of Israel. The least I can do is express my feelings through song, and I wanted to do something so that we would not forget the memories of those saints.”

Shwekey adds: “On the days of the shiva, the mother of the late Yossi Kahn told me that she was afraid that the world would move on and forget the Meron saints in time. So we tried to do something small, so that we would not forget and always remember them.”

CARRY ON ALBUM PROMO

Binyamin Zwickler A”H, passed away at the young age of 25. Binyamin was diagnosed with cancer when we were in high school, and yet he was always full of laughter and optimism; his love for life was contagious. He was truly selfless always looking to help a friend no matter the challenges he faced. Facing tragedy, pain, and illness, his Emunah was rock-solid; his bright smile and positive outlook made everything seem OK.

Binyamin always had a strong connection to music. When life challenged him, music was his safe haven. He composed original songs that were deeply personal, but he rarely shared them with anyone. A few months before he passed away, he had his music recorded “unprofessionally”. He shared these recordings with his close friends and family in the weeks and days before he was Niftar. We have held these songs close to our hearts ever since. The music embodies Binyamin’s love of life, connection with Hashem through Tefilah, and his calming demeanor. The music and lyrics are soulful and deep, they can strike an emotional chord in any and every Jew. For that reason, we have decided to give these songs the platform they deserve by creating an album of a few choice songs. We successfully found suitable artists across the Jewish music spectrum who do the music justice and represent Binyamin’s memory authentically.

We have partnered with Madraigos, an organization dedicated to helping teens and young adults facing difficult challenges in these turbulent times. This organization is one that we are confident Binyamin would support because of his true love and devotion for helping people overcome their unique struggles and never judging anyone. Our confident hope is that the music will inspire listeners to live a life of happiness and purpose which will serve as a Zchus for Binyamin’s Nishama.

Dovid Lowy - Yehudi B'chol Kochi - Lyric Video

Yehudi B'chol Kochi was written in honor of the Bar Mitzvah of our eldest son Shlomo. When my wife requested me to compose a song in honor of the occasion- I knew it had to be something special. It was a gift from heaven as these words came to mind together with this tune. Yehudi B'chol Kochi is a prayer and an affirmation.

We ask our Creator to give us the strength to grow and bring holiness into this world, and we affirm our commitment to His Mitzvos and to be a Yehudi B'chol Kochi. Amen!

Jewish Driver Attacked by Arab Lynch Mob

An Israeli Jew was injured Monday morning after he was assaulted by a mob of Arab rioters outside of the Old City of Jerusalem.

The attack, which took place as Israel celebrates Jerusalem Day marking the liberation of the Old City from Jordanian occupation, took place outside of the Lions’ Gate Monday morning.

Rioters hurled large numbers of rocks at the victim’s car as he drove by, causing him to crash, with the car overturning.

The Arab mob then tried to lynch the driver, who was saved by the intervention of Israeli police officers.

MDA emergency first responders were dispatched to the scene to treat the driver.

Earlier on Monday, Arab rioters attacked police officers on the Temple Mount, hurling stones and firebombs and shooting fireworks at officers. Rioters also threw rocks at the Mughrabi Bridge, which links the Western Wall Plaza to the Temple Mount.

Monday's riots are the latest in a wave of Arab violence during the month of Ramadan, with attacks reported across Israel, including in Jerusalem, Haifa, and Jaffa.
