  • Bar Tzabari, Bניה Barabi, and Amir Benayoun released a new song, 'Avraham Yitzchak Yaakov.'
  • The song is part of a musical project by students of the 'V'etnan Hachlkenu' program.
  • The lyrics focus on themes of faith and hope during difficult times.
  • This is the eighth annual song produced by the program, with past songs gaining millions of views.
  • The singers volunteered for the project, which aims to bridge divides through music.

Three prominent Israeli singers, Bar Tzabari, Bניה Barabi, and Amir Benayoun, have collaborated for the first time on a new single titled 'Avraham Yitzchak Yaakov.' The song is part of a special musical project by students of the 'V'etnan Hachlkenu' program, a daily Torah and Gemara study initiative founded by Rabbi Chaim David Kobelsky. The students wrote and composed the song, with musical production by Matan Dror and arrangements by Avi Ohayon and Matan Dror. The accompanying music video was directed by Uzi George of SYNC STUDIO.

The lyrics draw inspiration from prayer and Jewish sources, aiming to convey a message of faith and hope that provides spiritual resilience, even during times of uncertainty and hardship. This marks the eighth year that Israeli artists who regularly study together have created a song for the project, with each year's release garnering millions of views. The singers volunteered their participation, each having forged a unique musical path and reached wide audiences in Israel.

Tzabari, who has recently revealed his deep connection to religion and Judaism, stated in an interview that Judaism is very important to him. He attends synagogue and does not perform on Shabbat, having recently decided to disconnect from his phone during Shabbat to spend quality time with his family. The unique blend of the three artists' voices gives the lyrics added meaning and personal interpretation.

The project joins a series of recent musical works in the Chassidic and Jewish music world, including singles like 'Mizmor L'toda' by Gabriel Sabag featuring Niso Slob, and 'Hashem Gadol' by Shral Sofer. Beyond the artistic collaboration, the project emphasizes the power of music and human connection, highlighting a song's ability to bridge divides between people, perspectives, generations, and worlds. 'Avraham Yitzchak Yaakov' is a song born of faith, intended to touch the heart of every Jew. The single is now available on all digital platforms, and its music video is expected to attract significant attention from fans of Jewish and Chassidic music.
