Over 350 original compositions have been submitted to the Jewish Songwriting Competition.
Singer Avraham Fried, composer Yossi Green and music producer Moishy Goldstein have decided the winners of the men’s submissions.
“Every composition is unique and a winner in its own way,” Goldstein remarks. “We sincerely enjoyed numerous beautiful submissions, far more than we can designate as the official winning songs. If your composition did not win, it does not reflect on the quality of your composition, but rather on the limited number of winners we can choose.”
The first place winners of the men competition are…
Slow song winner:
“Break Free” by Tzvi Rimler of Phoenix, AZ.
Fast song winner:
“Just Think Good” by Michel Klein of Lauderhill, FL.
The winning songs will be professionally produced by Music Studio NYC and released to the public in the coming months IYH.
In addition, the following “second place winners” will receive significant discounts at Music Studio NYC to help their song be professionally produced and released to the public.
Top 10 List: (Listed alphabetically)
- Ad Ana, Binyomin Moshe Schuraytz, Detroit, MI

“This is just a small sample list of the top compositions,” Goldstein commented. “There are many more top compositions than can fit on a list of 10. Composers are welcome to reach out to me for comments on their composition.”
During the submission process, composers were able to choose to opt-in to have their song shared with Jewish singers who are looking to buy new compositions. Any singers looking for new songs, may reach out to request access to the collection of compositions.
The winners of the women’s competition are still being worked on and will be announced in the near future.
