Time and again, they try to rewrite our story. What they don’t realize is that the Author is on our side. Enjoy this impromptu moment on stage, straight from the heart to the heart 🖤

@Chusidel I’m with you on that!

I literally feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t have Shabbos in their life.

Music has the power to shape us in ways we don’t always realize. Achashverosh understood this and chose not to have music at his party. The content we choose matters, because over time it influences who we become. Watch the full interview now on themusicofshabbos.com.

Every Friday at sundown, our closing bell rings and we step away from the hustle and bustle to welcome Shabbos, our greatest investment. Thank you, Channel 10, for inviting me to the @NYSE to share my thoughts, live from Wall Street! Full interview: themusicofshabbos.com

@mendypiano @NYSE What an experience!!

If I look like a kid in a candy store, it’s because I am 😁 Getting to experience my two biggest passions, music and finance, collide - on Wall Street no less - was unexpected and a real highlight for me. 🎶💰📈

The music of Shabbos is music steeped in tradition and carries many accents. Piyutim and pizmonim - sacred poetry of praise - are meant to be felt as much as understood. The final medley of The Music of Shabbos, “Pizmonim,” is out now! Stream it on themusicofshabbos.com.

What makes a Shabbos table a place people truly belong? In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Rabbi @ShlomoFarhi to explore the power of Shabbos and song as a bridge between generations, between hearts, and between a person and Hashem. themusicofshabbos.com

Havdalah - a tender farewell to our cocoon of kedusha. Though Shabbos is going away, her absence will not be for long. Listen to medley 10 of 11, “Havdalah and Melaveh Malkah,” off The Music of Shabbos album now on themusicofshabbos.com!

In the closing minutes of Shabbos, the world grows hushed. Suspended between day & dusk, these auspicious moments offer one last embrace to our neshamos so reluctant to let go. Around our tables, soft voices join together, singing tefillos full of d’veykus, love & comfort.

The Steipler taught: Aside from learning mussar, the primary source of our yiras Shamayim comes from Shabbos zemiros. Sing your heart out!

The table gleams with radiance - a holy feast of song, where heaven feels close enough to touch. Across continents & centuries, Am Yisroel joins in one timeless refrain - from Morocco to Modzitz & everywhere in between, a legacy of unbroken tradition. themusicofshabbos.com

What a tremendous zchus to meet HaGaon Rav Shimon Galai shlit”a on our flight now to the Holy Land! It was a great honor to gift the Gadol with The Music of Shabbos book and receive the Rav’s brachos for the mission in spreading the gift of Shabbos!

Shabbos isn’t a break from the week. It’s the center of it. In this conversation, I sit down with my Rosh Kollel, R’ Shlomo Diamond, to explore what Shabbos really is - the anchor point that everything else in the week revolves around. Visit themusicofshabbos.com for more!

There would never be time enough to thank Hashem… especially for the gift of Shabbos! ❤️‍🔥 #themusicofshabbos

We awaken in the morning to all of creation renewed. Our morning tefilos ascend in awe, each word a spark of heartfelt devotion. Every tefillah is lived. Listen to medley 7 of 11, “Tefilas Shabbos,” off The Music of Shabbos album. Available now on themusicofshabbos.com!

What makes a Shabbos table work - not just halachically, but emotionally, spiritually, and across generations? In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with R’ Meir Yedid to explore the power of Shabbos as a complete experience. Visit themusicofshabbos.com to watch!

Shabbos is meant to be sung! 🎶

In the soft glimmer of the flickering flames, time slows. Around the table, souls unite in song, divinely assured that in doing so, He will grant us our heart’s desires. Medley 6 of 11, “Oneg Shabbos,” off The Music of Shabbos album is out now! themusicofshabbos.com

If we don’t sing and dance around the Shabbos table, how can we expect our children to feel a passion for Yiddishkeit? To Reb Moshe Shapiro zt”l, it was that simple.

Working on the 11 medleys for The Music of Shabbos album has been an incredible experience. Reviving the traditional Zemiros with a modern sound brought me to tears. This week, we released medleys 4 & 5, “Friday Night Zemiros” and “Kah Ribon”. Listen now! themusicofshabbos.com
