toJonathan Shahar There is a lot to be said about life.

In the many stations of his life, he encountered almost everything; from the Haredi community where he was born, through the world of the people of repentance with whom he grew up, the Breslov Hasidism to which he was exposed and captivated by its charm, and ending with the world of spiritual challenges and youth that Jonathan is busy dealing with on a daily basis.

Throughout the journey, it was music that accompanied him. The result is deep, insightful songs that Jonathan took with him from the long journey. "To this day, all the situations in which each of the songs was written and composed are engraved on the tablet of my heart." The first four singles ''Don't believe him'', ''First Night of Forgiveness'', ''Give strength' and 'Escape'' which he released, received a warm embrace and many airplays in various media outlets, and undoubtedly positioned him as one of the finest discoveries that Jewish music has known in recent years.

In parallel with his musical work, Shahar is active in community projects in Jerusalem such as 'Cheap Hetzroni's' and other centers for struggling youth, as well as an active member of the religious community of struggling souls in Jerusalem in the 'Windows' program and more, where he also uses music as a healer for the soul.

Now, Jonathan's debut album is being released - ''All that you are', Musically produced by Avi Tal.

It is a kind of summary of a journey of over 15 years of musical creation, written from his encounter with the struggles in life; with the difficulty, the pain and the cry, and tries to bring good news and hope. "That's basically all I am, through the songs. Starting from''The boy I was'' way ''If only you knew'' And to the everyday moments of kindness ''What a comfort''.

"These songs are the essence of my life, accompanied by a cry on the one hand, and great hope on the other.".
