The musical project "Tzama" has released a new single, "Vetaher Libenu," performed by the popular group "Rivivo Project." This rendition of a well-known Chabad melody, typically sung on Shabbat and holidays, has been given a fresh, upbeat, and joyful arrangement. The release precedes the upcoming "Tzama" events for the year 5787, with ticket sales opening on Saturday night. The "Rivivo Project," consisting of Raviv Ben-Menachem, Nir Ben-Menachem, and Eliran Tzur, has transformed the traditional tune, which originates from the Shabbat Amidah prayer. Unlike many contemplative Hasidic melodies, "Vetaher Libenu" expresses a unique concept: closeness to the Creator can stem from gratitude, connection, and joy over the world's abundance, not solely from hardship. Music producer Naor Carmi, for "Tzama," has blended the "Rivivo Project's" warm, nostalgic style with the Hasidic tune to appeal to a broad Israeli audience. The single's timing coincides with the start of the new Torah reading cycle and the creation story in Parashat Bereshit, a portion emphasizing holiness, rest, and connection, themes echoed in the song. The members of "Rivivo Project" shared their personal connection to Shabbat, calling it the most joyful, familial, and holy day of the week, and expressed excitement about collaborating with "Tzama" on this special melody. This release joins a recent wave of new music in the Hasidic and Jewish music scene, including a duet by Mordechai Ben David and Shmulik Sukkot, a debut single by Elazar Yifrah, and a new song by Meni Diskend. The "Tzama" project, now in its 17th year, is a major annual event in Hasidic music, and this new single serves as a musical prelude to the upcoming performances.
