Singer Ari Weiss launches a new take on the traditional melody of Hasidic Melitz - a deep melody that expresses the soul's longing for a living and close connection with God.

The ancient melody, passed down from generation to generation in Hasidic homes, receives renewed life in the new performance, in an arrangement that preserves the spirit of the original and gives it a place of honor even for the contemporary ear.

Ari's performance combines emotion, musical precision, and an authentic connection to the sacred piyyut.
