About a decade ago, a special song was composed that has since become a hidden gem among connoisseurs of the Hebrew language. Now, composer and choirmaster Yaakov Rotblatt has brought the work to light - in a renewed, contemporary and moving performance.
""Za Leza" is a Hasidic song, based on the holy words of the Maggid of Koznitz, zch"l. The text carries a powerful message of unity and mutual guarantee: "When all of Israel join hands with each other, the hands will join in one hand that reaches to the throne of honor.".
Rotblatt is joined in the performance by the global 'Friends' choir, which accompanies the song with rich harmony, and child prodigy Yair Cohen, who adds a touch of Jewish emotion and innocence with his clear voice.
