Young singer Israel Goldreich has released his new single, 'Like An Eagle,' which recounts a deeply personal story of faith experienced during surgery. The song, released on Sunday, draws inspiration from an incident five years ago when Goldreich, then 7.5 years old, underwent emergency surgery at Rambam Medical Center for a complex fracture sustained from a fall.
Before the surgery, medical staff requested that Goldreich remove his tzitzit (ritual fringes), but he insisted on keeping them, stating they were his protection. A compromise was reached where the tzitzit were rolled up, a practice that continued through subsequent surgeries. During his long recovery, his father played him Rabbi Moshe Goldman's classic song 'Like An Eagle,' which became a source of strength and a soundtrack to his life, conveying a message of faith and resilience.
Now, coinciding with his bar mitzvah, Goldreich is releasing a professionally produced rendition of the song that accompanied him through his recovery. The production features music production by Michael Tzi, arrangement by David Fink, and is accompanied by the 'Malchut' choir conducted by Pinchas Bichler, along with a team of leading musicians. The mix was done by Haim Moses, and the AI video was created and edited by Yossi Bent of Bent Social.
The project joins a recent wave of new musical releases in the Hasidic and Jewish music world, including singles by Nati Shevkes, Eli Herzlich, and Shimon Levy. Goldreich expressed gratitude for the support he received throughout his recovery and journey to the stage, crediting his parents, teachers, and everyone who accompanied him.
