“Zamer” is the newest release from Yitzy Kaplowitz and Ari Goldwag, part of the two-song EP Zamer / Talmidei Chachamim, featuring music that celebrates the beauty and koach of limud haTorah.
While learning Daf Yomi, Yitzy was inspired by the words “Zamer B’chol Yom” found in Sanhedrin Daf 99.
Together with Ari, he composed this uplifting song that reminds us that every moment of Torah learning creates a unique melody that fills the world. Each of us sings our own special song through our limud Torah. The more we immerse ourselves in learning, the sweeter and stronger that song becomes.
Our yegiah baTorah doesn’t just refine us — it creates lasting impact in this world and in the Olam HaEmes.
Ari Goldwag is back with another great video and song, composed by and featuring Yitzy Kaplowitz - Ma Rabu. The song expresses the importance of appreciating the wonders of Hashem's creation. The video brings out this idea with characters who are distracted from the wonderful beauty that surrounds them - the beauty of nature, the beauty of family and the beauty of friendship. What will wake them up to these blessings that are so close at hand? All it takes is a few paper airplanes that just seem to know just where to go to deliver the right message!

Hayom is the title track and the latest single to be released from singer/songwriter/guitarist Yitzy Kaplowitz’s upcoming debut album.
A number of years ago at a time when there were many tragedies happening in Eretz Yisrael I sat down at the piano and composed this song. It’s a heartfelt tefilah, a call for the RBS”O to bench us with shalom, true peace, the ultimate blessing.
The events that occurred this year prompted me to release this song now. In my lifetime I can’t think of a time where the world seemed to be more upside down. Our yeshivas, and our shuls were forced to close. Our lives were upended, jobs and incomes were gone, we lost gedolim, family and friends. Yet this was all decreed last Rosh Hashanah.
As I prepare to sit before the Melech Malchei Hamlachim this Rosh Hashanah, I know there is one thing that I need to plead for, shalom! We need Shalom, the true peace that we will only experience with the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash bmheirah byameinu. I hope this song inspires you to do the same.

Ein Od Milvado is the second single to be released from singer/songwriter/guitarist Yitzy Kaplowitz’s upcoming debut album Hayom.
The song was inspired while learning an interesting maamar from the Nesivos Shalom ZY”A. It’s easy to recognize the divine providence, the Yad Hashem in supernatural miracles such as the Krias Yam Suf. It’s a little more challenging to see the Yad Hashem in the miracles that occur on a daily basis within the natural world.
The events of the past few months have made really reinforced the idea of Ein Od Milvado. Everything that occurs within the natural world occurs because of the RBS”O. We simply need to open our eyes and look at the world with the proper perspective and we will be able to appreciate the Yad Hashem in everything that occurs within the natural world.
