Towards Passover: Star Mizrahi Hasidim singer Itzik Dadia releases another single called "Yerushalim", from his third album, which will be released in the summer - and for the first time, the single is being distributed to surfers, via a free download link.
In the current song, Dadiya sings about the intense longing for a rebuilt Jerusalem and the constant need to remember every day the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, and the aspiration to be worthy of seeing it rebuilt.
""As an artist who often appears at weddings," says Dadiya, "I am moved every time by the part where the groom recites the verse 'If Jerusalem forgets you, forget my right hand..' And I wanted to compose a beautiful and moving melody that would suit this situation where a couple stands under the wedding canopy at the greatest moment of their lives, recalling the destruction of Jerusalem and wishing for its rebuilding.".

And so, after several fast and rhythmic songs that he recently released, this time Itzik returns to the old and familiar style that characterized him so much in the past, and releases a quiet and moving song that touches the soul and thrills every listening ear.
The lyrics from the Psalms were composed by arranger Yoeli Dikman, who was also in charge of the musical production, and with a masterful hand he delivers a perfect track that suits Dadia's pure and clear voice.
