Already becoming the new "standards" for this generation, this music has been called "Shabbat Music that Carries You Through the Week" because it is vibrant, contagious and inviting. These songs will quickly become familiar and a part of you.
In addition to the stellar vocal talent, this album has attracted and includes noteworthy musicians and a production team that makes each song a treat for the ears and begging for another play; Beth Schafer on guitar, drummer Charlie Morgan ( Elton John), Charle DeChant on sax and flute (Hall and Oates), mastered by legendary Bob Ohlsson (Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye).
