Father's Dying Wish Fulfilled in New Song by Shuki Solomon and Yehuda Green
Musician and philanthropist Shuki Solomon has released a new, emotional single featuring renowned American "kumzitz" artist Yehuda Green, in anticipation of the Sukkot holiday. This marks Solomon's first release since the passing of his father earlier this year, and the song carries a deeply personal and moving story.
Solomon's late father greatly admired Green's work and had a profound wish to see his son perform a duet with Green. This dream is now being realized in the current period of repentance and forgiveness, leading up to the Harvest Festival.
The lyrics are drawn from a heartfelt prayer: "Master of the Universe, fulfill the desires of my heart for good and grant my request, and make our will and our request come true." This simple yet profound prayer encapsulates the hopes and yearnings that Jews carry to God during this time.
Solomon and Green expressed their hope with the song's release: "May our Father in Heaven fulfill the desires of our hearts for good, hear our prayers, and may we soon merit the complete redemption and the resurrection of the dead."
The song's melody is by Yehuda Green, with musical arrangement and production by David Toiv, and filming and editing by Zviqi Green.
