The successful and beloved singer Omer Adam<\/a> is drawing closer to Judaism alongside his meteoric musical success. We've gathered quotes, images, and inspiring video clips on the subject.<\/p>

Two years ago, the internet was abuzz with Adam's bold move: during negotiations for Chanukah Festigal performances, Adam declared he would not perform on Shabbat, even when offered more than 1.5 million (!) shekels. In a groundbreaking decision like never before, the Festigal production decided that if Adam wouldn't perform on Shabbat, no one else would either. Thanks to Adam, the Festigal did not take place on Shabbat, sparing tens of thousands from violating Shabbat.<\/p>

How did the public respond to his bold step? Here are some particularly heartwarming reactions:<\/strong><\/p>

A few months ago, during his largest concert ever with 30,000 fans purchasing tickets to Haifa's Sami Ofer Stadium, Adam seized the momentum to convey the crucial message of guarding one's speech as part of the famous "Lashon Hara Lo Medaber Elay" (Evil speech doesn’t speak to me) campaign. Fans also received a personal note asking them to guard their words and not "speak ill of others."<\/p>

In the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah, Omer Adam hosted a special and moving Selichot evening at his home with Rabbi Yigal Cohen, singer Meidad Tasa, singer Chaim Yisrael, and even Yair Netanyahu, the Prime Minister's son, who came to show respect and connect with his roots.
