After 5 years of musical activity, singles that are constantly played on radio stations and huge hits with music videos that have reached millions of views, this week, Hasidic singer Simcha Friedman launched his debut album - "Levdach.".

The album contains 15 songs, most of which are singles that have already been released in recent years. However, since "it is impossible for the Beit Midrash to be without innovation," three new songs were added to the album: 'Daven Mit A Nigun' - a song about the virtue of prayer from a niggun, in the klezmer style and in the Yiddish language, 'Moishel'eh' - a sweet song for a newborn child, in the Hasidic style, and the song that the entire album is named after - a song in the Israeli style with original lyrics, but with an unparalleled Jewish and Hasidic message: "There is nothing else besides Him.".

The best composers and arrangers took part in the album, among them Simcha Friedman himself (who composed about half of the songs on the disc), Yuval Stoppel, Yoeli Diekman, Eli Klein, Udi Damari, Ami Cohen, Naor Carmi, Yoni Eliav, Daniel Zamir, Benny Laufer, Moti Rotler, Yaakov Menashe, Doron Elimelech, Achia Cohen and many more.

The album is accompanied by a stunningly beautiful digital booklet, decorated with paintings by the Hasidic painter Mendi Yaroslavsky, who gave each song its own unique painting and artistic expression.
