Shloimy Wertzberger Releases Joyful Wedding Medley Featuring Aharaleh Semt and Bentzi Stein

By כיכר השבת, מלך הלפגוט
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Shloimy Wertzberger, a prominent singer in the Hasidic music scene, has launched a new joyful medley titled 'Der Tsvayter Tanz' that celebrates the spirit of Jewish weddings. The medley, debuting this week, combines high energy with polished professional performance and aims to capture the refined happiness of traditional Jewish celebrations.

Unlike many singles that focus on solo performances, Wertzberger collaborates with two leading Hasidic singers, Aharaleh Semt and Bentzi Stein, both longtime friends and respected figures in the genre. Their vocal harmony enriches the medley, emphasizing the central theme of genuine wedding joy. The musical production is led by Jonathan Bloy, a sought-after producer in Hasidic music, who also arranged the piece. Hershi Segal conducts the orchestra, while the vocal accompaniment is performed by the Malchus choir under Pinchas Bichler’s direction, who also arranged the vocals.

The production features a wide array of instruments, including guitars by Noam Hargol and brass by Nachman Zucker, mixed professionally by Chaim Moses. Visual elements such as filming and editing were handled by Yosef Shalest and Nachman Elber, with direction and color grading by Hershi Segal. The project is produced by Bnei Barzel, with cover design by Oligraph and playlist management by singer Moti Goldman.

Wertzberger has risen in the past two years as a sought-after performer at weddings and events, known for his energetic stage presence and heartfelt delivery. 'Der Tsvayter Tanz' marks his transition from live performances to a recorded work intended to endure for generations. The collaboration with Semt and Stein reflects their shared vision and longstanding friendship, blending different styles and generations within Hasidic music. Released just in time for the wedding season, the medley offers quality musical material suitable for various celebrations, combining energetic peaks with moments of spiritual elevation. The project is dedicated with gratitude to the Creator, highlighting the gift of music and joy.
