Yesterday's child stars tune in to today's music
You know my voice from
I sang on the Camp Shalva albums, Yosef Moshe Kahana’s “Nodeh Lecha,” Isaac Honig’s “Adon Hakol,” and the Brachos V’Hodaos album in the Teichman Kinder Klangen series.
How it all began
My uncle, Shraga Gold of the Shira Choir, was a good friend of Reb Moshe Goldman, and he loved Reb Moshe Goldman’s tapes. I once sang at a family wedding to which Reb Moshe, being my uncle’s friend, was invited. He remembered my singing from that wedding and asked me to join the Camp Shalva choir.
The solos didn’t come right away. First I just sang as part of the group. When we recorded in the studio, Reb Moshe used to give a few boys turns to record the solos, and then later he decided which ones to use for the actual album. When the Somachti album came out, my solos were a surprise to me and totally unexpected.
My seasonal pick
“Oy yoy yoy, zachreinu l’chaim” is a song that’s stood the test of time. As soon as the shofar is blown, and throughout the Yamim Noraim period, you’ll hear people singing it. Although it’s serious, it’s so warm and uplifting, it’s not a depressing song. Personally, it pierces my heart.
