Three sides of the same artist, captured in one room: the power of the songs with a band behind them, the stories and ideas that shaped them, and finally, the music brought back to its simplest form. Produced by Mendy Portnoy

TYH Presents: Flying Carpet | Dadya - Afiko - Alex Clare
The holy Baba Sali Z’Ya was a light for all of Klal Yisroel. His devotion to each and every Yid is something that is still felt today, and we strive to connect to this Tzaddik through our own care, concern, and ahavas yisroel.
This song reaches back to the roots of his holy family, to Rabeinu Shmuel, the great grandfather of the Baba Sali and a massive tzaddik in his own right. When he needed to cross the sea for a mitzvah and was refused entry onto a ship because he had no money, he took out his simple rolled mat, a “chatzera,” sat on the shore and learned Torah. As the boat pulled away, he moved too, gliding calmly across the water on that mat like a floating carpet, still learning, still unshaken.
That miracle is what gave the family the name Abuchatzera, “father of the mat.” And that is why we sing about flying on the carpet with the holy Baba Sali, it is fun, but it is also real, a living reminder of the Torah, emunah, and love for every Yid that shines through this tzaddik and his lineage.

TYH Presents: Father | Alex Clare
Meditate on your relationship with Hashem for a moment.
There are three distinct ways that we experience closeness with Him. At times, we stand before Him as subjects before a King, filled with awe and reverence. At other times, we feel Him as a loving Parent, nurturing and guiding us with care.
But beyond these lies the deepest level. A state of complete oneness, where internality meets and all sense of separation dissolves.
Fill yourself with longing for this deepest level and as our wisest teachers taught us, you shall find yourself right there in it!

Spread Light | Alex Clare | Matisyahu | TYH Nation
The words of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, ZY”A , continue to resonate throughout eternity. His revolutionary approach of illuminating even the darkest places was a culmination of thousands of years of Jewish tradition. He instilled in each of us a sacred sense of purpose, empowering us to recognize our vital role in the grand narrative of history.
He taught us that we have a dual mission to fulfill: to disseminate light, love, and Hashem awareness, both externally to the world as well as internally in the deepest recesses of our own hearts. This is our mission, to bring the promise of Moshiach to every corner of the world.

Back of the Wagon | Matisyahu | Afiko.man | Alex Clare
Get in the Wagon, Live the 'Besht' Life
The Bal Shem Tov was famous for his journeys to visit Yidden in far flung villages throughout the Ukraine. He would invite some of his disciples to join him on an epic journey to uplift Yidden and elevate sparks, on nature-defying trips on his holy wagon, guided more by Divine Providence than by his trusted driver Alexei.
The truth is we can all be along for the ride “In the Back of the Wagon of the Bal Shem Tov!”
The road stretches ahead, a tapestry of the unexpected. But in the heart of the Chasid, there is no fear, only the vibrant pulse of a journey guided by something greater. We ride the wagon of the Baal Shem Tov, where the destination exists within each step of the way, where each miraculous moment is intertwined with the seemingly mundane.
The Baal Shem Tov teaches that a cheleck of Hashem lives within us. He showed us that Hashem’s path, laid out since the dawn of creation, courses through every moment. To live the "Besht" life is to step into the back of that wagon, to surrender control, and find freedom in the unfolding journey.
We are constantly carried by the teaching of The Tzaddikim, by the wings of Hashem's love. When we are united together, bound by faith, we weather every storm. Mountains rise and valleys dip, scenery shifting with the winds of change – this is our avodah, our sacred work. The broken bridge, the sweltering heat, the gentle rain – they shape us and remind us that we are never truly alone.
This wagon, symbolizing the wings of the eagle of Mashiach, brings us speeding towards ultimate redemption. But the Geulah begins right here, in the appreciation of Hashem's will, in internalizing the divine orchestration of our lives.
The 'Besht' life is the Best life. A life of trust, of joy, of finding the sacred in every twist and turn of our journey.
So, climb aboard! Let Hashem's Torah be the compass, and let the wisdom of the Baal Shem Tov light your way.
Embrace the journey, for it is the destination.
Embrace the unexpected, for there you'll find Hashem.
Live the 'Besht' life - a life bound by faith, love, and the boundless potential that waits within the back of that extraordinary wagon.

Simcha Raba · TYH · Mendy Worch · Alex Clare
Out now! Our new single, “Simcha Raba” with Mendy Worch and featuring Alex Clare. This track offers a taste of the exciting sounds featured on Mendy’s upcoming album, “MAMISH AT THE END”
Full Album Release This Thursday!
This song was inspired by the levaya of Mikey’s Dad - Dovid Ben Shalom AH and the Dream of the Komarma that Reb Yussie shared on Rosh Hashana.
The Holy Kamarna dreamt of harsh dinim that were decreed on him. But, no matter the dinim that he faced, he fought it with Mesiras Nefesh!
What is that Mesiras Nefesh?
Simcha!
The more Dinim the more Simcha until he was able to sweeten the judgments.
Simcha Raaaabba!
