For eight years he maintained a musical silence, but last year he surprised for the third time with a single - which he dedicated to the needy population.
Yitzhak Reiss is a different artist in the Hasidic landscape, creative and original. Now he releases the song "All My Bones Will Speak" - in which he seeks to be a voice for those who cannot reach their limits.
""The song that opens with the words 'You will hear the cry of the poor, listen to the cry of the needy and save' expresses the enormous power inherent in the cry of the poor. Maimonides explicitly writes that God is close to the prayer of the poor. Many artists appear and compose songs in honor of rulers, but no one sings for the poor... I chose to be the first to shine the spotlight on them," says Rice.

Unlike his previous songs, this time Rice received the melody from a close friend - Rabbi Yehuda Kenner, and the arrangement was written by Nati Kugler, who has already produced dozens of Hasidic productions.
The 'Voices' choir contributed its voices to the background accompaniment, and to give the song an authentic tone, Rice incorporated musician Baruch Lisnevski, who played the string instruments.
Adi Netanali was entrusted with the final cooking task – mixing and mastering.
""In our gentle and moving song, it is clear that Yitzhak primarily seeks to convey a message. He does not pretend to try to impress, but rather to penetrate the hearts of the listeners," emphasizes Rabbi Kenner, who wrote the melody. "I am happy about his choice to perform my song and hope, with God's help, that it will be received with love by the public.".
""On Seder night, we all invite the needy to come and dine, but when the holiday is over, everyone returns to their own affairs. It is very important to remember the needy throughout the year, and if this song helps us remember to look left and right and look for those who have not been blessed, then that will be my reward," Rice concludes.
