Hasidic music

Naftali Kempeh, who transitioned from being a kumzitz singer to a recognized artist in Hasidic music, shares about his Lithuanian upbringing, the sad passing of his mother close to his wedding, the challenges he faced in the yeshiva world, and the guitar that came to him through divine providence.

After 44 years and performances in over 38 countries, Chanan Avital, the man behind Jerusalem's Blossoms, opens up about everything: the countries where they have performed, the surprising call from the White House, the severe injury from the attack, and the decision to never leave the field.

In a personal and special interview with the Hidabroot website, singer Yaakov Shwekey talks about how he balances family life with his career, the Torah study he never skips anywhere in the world, and the special blessing he received from Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.

Singer Yishai Ben Tzvi always knew he was adopted, but it was only at age 13 that his adoptive parents revealed that his biological parents were not Jewish. Now he had to choose: would he be Jewish or not? In an interview, he explains why he chose to be Jewish and how he fell in love with Hasidic music.
