Singer Kobi Brumer has released a new, energetic swing-style single titled 'The Great Lights' just after the Jewish holidays and at the start of the Book of Genesis. The song, released on Thursday, draws a parallel between the creation of the moon, which was created equal to the sun but commanded to wane, yet always returns to fullness, and human life. Brumer conveys a message that not everyone needs to shine like the midday sun; some illuminate from darkness, and even a small light is still a light. The timing of the release, coinciding with the start of the new year and the weekly Torah portion of Genesis, adds spiritual depth to the song.
Brumer co-wrote the melody with Eli Klein, who also produced the musical arrangement along with Itzy Berry. This collaboration has resulted in a refreshing and energetic musical experience. The release follows a trend of new musical projects in the Hasidic and Jewish music world, including Shai Azani's single 'Shalel Tzeva'im,' the Chabad nigun 'Vetaher Libenu' by The Rebbe's Project, and the duet 'Tate' by Aharaleh Samet and Shrulik Klatskin.
Ron Aaron Kras and Naor Nano Shimoni have also launched a new weekly project connecting the weekly Torah portion with the teachings of Rabbi Nachman. The timing of Brumer's single is intentional, with the Torah portion of Genesis, which recounts the creation of the sun and moon, providing a fitting spiritual backdrop for the song's message about light and renewal.
