Last week, singer and songwriter Hanan Ben Ari invited his online followers to send questions on any topic - to which Ben Ari answered in an Instagram 'story'.
One of the surfers asked Ben Ari what he thought of the singer Avraham Fried.
Ben Ari replied: "Avraham Fried is a huge and insanely exciting singer, who I grew up with my entire childhood. You don't have to be a kippah wearer to understand how huge and unique he truly is.".
""My last song, 'Heartbroken,' when I wrote and composed it, I thought and dreamed that Avraham Fried would sing it. I really imagined it in my head. And you know what, I'm taking this opportunity to take the brave step.".

Ben Ari turned to Fried: "Dear Rabbi Abramel, you must be in New York now. I want to challenge you here from the Holy Land and ask you to do your own rendition of the song 'Heartbroken,' with your powerful and moving voice. It would be exciting and an honor and a dream for me.".
Fried did not remain indifferent and responded on the page he operates on the social network 'Facebook': "When Hanan challenges, I definitely consider the matter.".
Today he said: "4 years ago I first met Hanan Ben Ari. Friends suggested that I host him at my summer show at the Sultan's Pool. We didn't need more than a few moments to feel the connection of souls.
""Hanan told me that he grew up listening to my songs, and I told him that I love every song that starts with the word 'mother,' but the song 'Mother If I Could,' brings me to tears. Since then, I've been happy for every opportunity I've had to come back and host him. The energy he brings to the stage sweeps everyone around him away.
""A few days ago, I received a video from a benefactor who has a dream that I will perform his song 'Heartbroken.' He said there that when he wrote and composed the song, he imagined me performing it. Since 'no one refuses to grow up,' I went into the studio the next day and here is my performance before you..."'
