    Inside "Ki Karov" by Eitan Katz

    With just a few days away till Shavuos, EItan Katz's Ki Karov serves as a perfect reminder to all of us that we are so close to being great in Torah and Avodas Hashem. One should never think he's not capable. Hashem tells us "Ki Karov", it's in your heart. All we need to do is dig a little and we'll find greatness.
    Wishing everyone a beautiful Yom Tov!

    Inside "Afikoman" by Eli Levin

    Inside "Afikoman" by Eli Levin

    Afikoman by Eli Levin
    As we head into Pesach, many of us remember the tragic passing of Yisroel Levin and Elisheva Kaplan on Chol Hamoed a few years ago. But something that people will never forget was how Yisroel's father was able to put his own pain and grief on the side and think of the rest of Klal Yisroel, as he requested 10,000 shidduchim for Klal Yisroel as compensation for the "Afikoman" that was taken for them.
     
    Subsequently, Yisroel's brother Eli sat down and wrote a stunning song telling the story. 
     
    Wishing everyone a Chag Kasher v'Sameach.

    Inside "The Classic Yevanim Song" by Rav Shmuel Brazil

    Composed by Rav Shmuel Brazil.
     
    A timeless classic, sung throughout the world over the eight days of Chanukah, has so much depth in the words. 
     
    Rav Shmuel Brazil, the composer of this classic, gives us a deeper meaning into the words, that could help us get out of our rote ways of serving Hashem and bring us into a higher and more meaningful level.

Teenage Fan ,

Great podcast!

Hearing the story behind each song makes it more meaningful. I love how the song is included at the end of each episode.

Britneysw ,

Great podcast!

I really appreciate how each episode is short and to the point, it gives a small extra taste into the song! I also love the conversation between Dani and Aryeh about Jewish music! So much perspective!

Composers gettin’ love

As a JM enthusiast, I’m delighted that the composers of these melodies are getting their due recognition.
