Ahead of Gimmel Tammuz, a new musical project brings together classic Chabad nigunim and a contemporary beat in a collaboration between radio personality Ami Maimon, known as the “Master of Joy,” and singer Binyamin Danishman. The release is presented as an emotional tribute to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, combining longing, hope and a festive energy meant to move listeners.

The pair entered the studio with what the article describes as a deep personal connection to the Rebbe’s legacy, aiming to turn feelings of yearning into “energy of redemption.” Maimon contributes his signature enthusiasm, while Danishman brings a soft, emotional voice to the medley.

The arrangement was produced by Amos Cohen, who gave the familiar Chabad melodies a “electrifying” and lively treatment. The stated goal was not just to revisit the past, but to energize audiences and make the songs accessible to a wider and more diverse public, especially around the reflective and renewing mood of Gimmel Tammuz.

For Maimon, the project is only the beginning of a busy season. He says he is working on new content and promises listeners a summer full of energy, surprises and joy. The article closes by suggesting more releases are on the way.
