Four Diverse Singers Collab for Alter Rebbe’s Niggun
Ahead of this year’s massive Tzamah events, a new single of the Alter Rebbe’s “Bnei Heichala” unites four top singers, each from a different musical world: Avraham Fried, Motty Steinmetz, Akiva, and Benaia Barabi.
Ahead of this year’s massive Tzamah events, the Tzamah project has released a new single of the Alter Rebbe’s niggun – “Bnei Heichala,” uniting four popular musical names: Avraham Fried, Motty Steinmetz, Akiva, and Benaia Barabi.
Each artist comes from a completely different musical world and performs for an entirely different audience, yet their collaboration captures exactly what Tzamah aims to do – bring the depth, warmth, and light of Chassidus to every segment of Israeli society, regardless of background.
Tzamah is a unique project that presents ancient chassidiishe niggunim in a contemporary musical language. Performed by some of Israel’s most celebrated artists, these timeless niggunim are rediscovered by a new generation and have become part of the playlist in homes across Eretz Yisroel. To date, more than 80 niggunim have been arranged and released across six acclaimed Tzamah albums.
The highlight of the year is the extraordinary Tzamah festival held each Kislev at Binyanei HaUma -Yerushlayim’s largest and most prominent event-hall complex – marking Yud Tes Kislev. Tens of thousands from every part of Israeli society stream to the hall to sing, dance, and experience the “Rosh Hashanah of Chassidus.”
Alongside the main concert – a top-level production where leading Israeli artists perform these niggunim on a stage wrapped in original VJ art – the campus becomes a full celebration of Chassidus: a major Chassidus Conference, farbrengens with world-renowned mashpi’im, lectures, a massive seforim fair with thousands of Chassidus books, exhibitions, and creative displays that reveal the depth, beauty, and accessibility of Chassidus to all.

Oy gevald how they butchered up this song. On the flip side. They all come from different backgrounds. Cant blame them
I’m a little disappointed in the way Avraham Fried has turned to a sephardic ivrit pronunciation so often lately.
It doesn’t even sound natural, it sounds put on and everyone knows that not his native ‘havara’.
Even more weird in this video, Motti Steinmetz proudly sings in his regular havara, with no attempt to sound ‘Israeli’ so why can’t AF do the same?! I think he’ll sound a lot better that way!
Why are negative comments permitted on this site? Would the posters say this directly to the singers? Is this lashon hara? Motzi shem ra? It past nisht.
