Close My Eyes (Official Corona Song) – Reuven Garber
There are many messages one can take from the Corona Virus pandemic. One of the most potent perhaps, is to internalize that we are not in control. At the end of the day, only G-D has the power to make or break. It is comforting to know that even through times of difficulty, we can always “close our eyes” and “let go”, trusting that everything is for the best. Ein Od Milvado!

Yitzchok Landau Presents: Zochreinu L’Chaim
Zochreinu L’Chaim, the melody originally created by Chabad Chassidim who lived in Nikolayev Russia, and after that it was adopted by the holy Reb Hershele from Kretchniff where he actually added the words of Zochreinu L’Chaim. Everywhere they knew the song they use to sing it in holy spiritual times like in Chodesh Tishrei, so in a year like this with so much tragedy and suffering, a song with such words means alot that we ask Hashem “Zochreinu L’Chaim”, remember and sign us to life, what better time is there to release such a song and give the world to taste some nice Hartzige melodies.
For the Music Arrangement, Yitzchok reached out to a new fast rising star in the industry of music production Sruly Neuman, he created something masterfully and beautiful, and when they added the talented voice of young child soloist Duvid Leifer (Featured on lots of beautiful projects in the past) the song came to its climax being a fine masterpiece!

Aryeh Kunstler: Alone in the Field With You
I wrote this song Elul time last year. And I always said I would finish it, write a second verse, produce it and make a big arrangement for it. Yet every single time I found myself listening to this recording all of 1:40 long (or 100 seconds) and thinking – I cant add anything to this. This song is meant to be this short. This song is meant to be this simple.
I have a lot of new followers since my last release of “Accept” and many of you will be thinking “where’s the rest?” – well for this song, this is it. I hope you enjoy it. Lots more to come this year.

Benzion Klacko – “Shnayim Oichazin B’Talis”
Torah should be alive and sweet! We were blessed with eight sons, each of them got the privilege of learning gemara in yeshiva. This week, the new zmaan began. What better way to enjoy and appreciate the holy and precious words of our Tanaaim and Amoraim, than through song and dance? Torah is life!
The song is crafted like a “chevrusah shaft” between myself and our 12 year old son, Luzy. The images in the video include three of our sons. Azarya, Luzy and Meyer, along with some scenes of me learning with our oldest grandson, Yonasan Ephraim (and their dog, who is a great listener)!

Shlomo Katz – Lev Tahor
Shlomo Katz writes in a letter to fans:
“Sometimes a niggun comes down all at once. Sometimes it comes down in pieces- months or even years apart. The second part of this niggun came down at the Amster shabbos table in West Rodgers Park, Chicago, in November 2018.
It wasn’t until a year and a half later, during ma’ariv at Yeshivat Lev HaTorah, right before singing with the beautiful chevre there, that the first part came down.
That night we sang this niggun for the first time. We sang it over and over until it was embedded in our hearts.
This niggun is dedicated to the beautiful Amster family, as well as Talmidei Yeshivat Lev Hatorah, whose Lev Tahor is a constant inspiration of hitchadshut (renewal).
B’ahava Rabba and with blessings for all of us to tune into the renewal of spirit that we so long for.”
