Singer Rami Kleinstein posted a heartfelt tribute on Tuesday to the late singer Yishai Levi, who passed away in June. Kleinstein recalled their first meeting in Yaakov Lamai's recording studio, where they recorded a duet of the song "Od Lo Tumu Kol Pela'ayich" (All Your Wonders Are Not Yet Over) for Israel's 70th Independence Day.

Kleinstein described Levi as "charming, simple, and genuine," noting that he arrived at the studio on an electric scooter and that "you could see the child in him through his smiling eyes." Although that collaboration did not lead to further projects, Kleinstein stated the experience remained special for him.

Following Levi's death, Kleinstein accepted an immediate invitation to perform at a memorial event for the singer. At the event, he sang Levi's song "Ha'ehat Sheli" (My One and Only), and a live recording of this performance was included in his tribute post.

Kleinstein explained what set Levi apart from other singers, saying, "I don't follow every successful singer, but when Yishai sang, you believed him. Every word. Every syllable. I believed." He characterized Levi's singing as "genuine and full of intention," adding, "And an artist like him is missed these days. May his memory be blessed."
