"Different moments call for different songs. I like to live in the moment and sing whatever my heart calls for in that moment”
My relationship with Yaakov Shwekey spans 30 years. We met in Camp Romimu, and as a teenager he was an outstanding staff member there working with special children. Baruch Hashem, we never lost our connection. I admire his great career as well as the incredible work that he and his wife do at the Special Children’s Center in Lakewood.
Yaakov, we go way back to 30 years in Camp Romimu. As a teenager you would often get on the stage and perform. Did you ever think then that perhaps you would one day actually become the king of Jewish music?
I live in the moment, both then and now, and I enjoyed those camp days tremendously. I was enjoying singing in the moment and not calculating the future. I always wanted to be in music, but didn’t know how it would happen. We embark on a journey, and Hashem does the rest.
Other than HaKadosh Baruch Hu obviously, is there one person out there that you can truly attribute your musical success to?
