Go Simcha Podcast

After taking a break for Passover, we start back up with episode 38. Episode 38 opens with Zeesha sitting down with Doni Gross. Doni is a well know producer in the Jewish music world. He has produced and composed and contributed to many well known albums. As we enter into Sefira it becomes the time for A Capella music. Doni Sits down with us to talk music, Torah and the magic of A Capella. A Kumzitz In The Rain It began as a work by friends who loved singing and the purity of the Kumzitz. As the music and camaraderie developed, the series took on a life of its own; as a cult classic. People began to realize the potential and power of real capella music and the demand created album after album of classics. A Kumzitz In The Rain is not a group, it is not a brand and it is not a “filler” for instruments during times without music. Cover for Kumzit in the rain 4. Blue with raindrops It fulfills, it connects, and it reflects feelings that are very hard to get in touch within today’s day and age. “A Kumzitz in the Rain Volume 4 – Junior” features the timeless classics of Baruch Levine. Masterfully produced and arranged by Doni Gross, this album features 13 songs, and over an hour of soulful acapella music sung by the sweet voices of children that will surely tug at your heart. The album also features adult guest vocals by Rivie Schwebel, Shlomo Simcha, Tzvi Silberstein, Joey Newcomb, Dovid Pearlman, & Avrumi Schwebel. You will find yourself singing along and remembering specific moments and memories in your life. The album will be available wherever Jewish Music is sold. The Album can be purchased here https://akumzitzintherain.com/ Supporting Jewish Artists As we delve deeper into the album, Doni expresses his passion of helping and supporting Jewish artists. “Most people come to you and just expect the new albums to be available on Spotify and you say, your doing your part to support by paying for Spotify” ” Most artists don’t make that much money from the albums., and when people and the culture has become a streaming culture it only harms the parnassa!” We have had this discussion many times on the show, and it’s very important to go and support the artists!

Episode 35 is a very special episode! We finally got Michoel ” Pruz” Pruzansky on the show! For those who don’t know, Michoel Pruzansky’s song Bou Nirkod is our theme song for this show! Since the inception of the show, Zeesha has been trying to get Michoel Pruzansky on with us! About Michoel Pruzansky Photo of Michoel Pruzansky with a microphone, blue suite and multi colored tieIt really should come as no surprise that Michoel Pruzansky has been one of the hottest names in the Jewish music world for more than a decade. It’s not just that he has been blessed with incredible musical talent; what makes Michoel Pruzansky unique is his exceptional ability to find songs that showcase his incredible charisma and his infectious Simchas hachaim which are evident in every note and every performance. The first hint that Michoel was destined to be one of the few who would find success in the competitive world of Jewish music came years ago, when he was a star soloist in Yerachmiel Begun’s Miami Boys Choir. As an adult Michoel Pruzansky continued dazzling listeners and by 2003 he had already released his debut album Ashrecha together with the legendary Yochi Briskman. Over the next few years, Michoel continued delighting audiences with heartfelt vocals at weddings and at concerts all over the world, sharing the stage with musical greats Avraham Fried, Mordechai Ben David, and Yaakov Shwekey. The Albums But if Ashrecha was the world’s introduction to Michoel, affectionately known to his fans as Pruz, his next album, released in 2007, gave the Jewish music loving public something to really get excited about. The self-titled lead track of Pruzbul was more than just a clever way of getting Michael’s name out there, it was an incredible song, whose energetic sound, pumping rhythm and off the beaten tracks, lyrics made it an instant hit. Add in crowd-pleasers like the leibidic Taseh and the deeply riveting You’re Watching Me and there was no doubt that Michoel had firmly cemented his place in the highest echelons of Jewish music’s elite. Hundreds of weddings and concerts later, Michael’s star continued to rise and he has often been touted as one of the rare performers in the Jewish music world who sounds as good live as he does in the studio. Put him up on the bandstand and the mood in the room becomes electric – at weddings, the dance floor is suddenly filled with happy revelers, while concert attendees can be seen clapping in time to the music and even dancing in the aisles. That is Michoel’s magic, his ability to touch everyone in the room, no matter what the occasion. Michoel followed up Pruz with MP3, another well-received album that became an instant classic. Once again, Michoel’s ability to tap into the right composers was the key to the album’s success, packing MP3 with songs that were easy to sing but also showcased his own talent and versatility, with Letav Avid, Al Yisroel Shalom and Show Me the Way added to the list of Michoel’s musical gems. The 2014 release of Pruz Control, was proof positive that Michoel was one of those rare singers who had staying power, wowing listeners with hits including Am Echad, Ashrei Mi, and Chaverim. Fast forward to the fall of 2017 and Michoel is still aiming high, this time with an all-new album titled Shootin’ For The Moon. Far from slowing down and resting on his laurels, Michoel continues to give his all, imbuing every song with panache and proving once again that his meteoric rise to fame is no accident but clearly the result of hard work, G-d given talent and a genuine love for Jewish music lovers all over the world.

Lech Al Zeh is a song about going after your dream. The song is a culmination of something I have been dreaming of doing since I was a little kid, and I’m finally going for it. Whatever your dream may be, whether it’s to become a great athlete, learn a new instrument, or to become a singer, the important thing is to just go for it. Never listen to the naysayers.

In this weeks episode, go behind the scenes with singer and songwriter Eitan Katz. Eitan Katz has been a staple in the Jewish music world for many years. Zeesha discusses how it all began, his very talented brother Shlomo and his father Avshalom. Eitan discusses how like most of our guests, music was just a part of everyday life in his home! About Eitan His heartfelt music may have propelled him to the upper echelons of the Jewish music business, but for Eitan Katz, music isn’t about fame, popularity or business. A gift from above that allows each of us to connect with the sparks of holiness that lie deep within ourselves, Eitan sees music as a powerful motivator that fills us with simcha, infuses our lives with spirituality and connects people of all types in an emotional experience like none other. A member of an extremely musical family, Eitan discovered that he had not just a love of music, but the talent as well. Spending his childhood moving back and forth between Los Angeles and Israel, Eitan was exposed to a wide variety of music from his earliest days. During his high school years, Eitan found himself gravitating towards the music of R’ Shlomo Carlebach which resonated deep within him and prompted him to take up the guitar, an instrument that instantly felt like it belonged in his hands. By age 16 Eitan had written his first original song, the precursor to many heartfelt compositions that brought the words of davening and Tanach to life in unprecedented ways. His first two albums, Eilecha, produced by his father, beloved chazzan, Avshalom Katz, and Biglal Avos were released jointly with his brother Shlomo. Eitan has six more solo albums to his credit. While Lemaancha, Boruch Hu, Live in Jerusalem, and Shuvu feature many of Eitan’s original compositions, Eitan Katz Unplugged and Eitan Katz Unplugged 2 feature the niggunim of Shlomo Carlebach. Eitan, has continued to learn in yeshiva throughout his musical career and he credits his learning for being the inspiration for his music. He travels throughout the United States, spending Shabbosos in different Jewish communities, leading the davening, sharing divrei Torah and ending Shabbos with a moving concert/kumzitz. Eitan prides himself on leading an orchestra that is merely the vehicle for the inherent simcha at every wedding, never the star of the show but rather the all important backdrop that sets the stage for an event that is all about holiness-infused happiness. Being able to switch seamlessly from kumzitz mode to the simcha spirit comes naturally to Eitan who believes that when music comes from a place that is pure and true, expressing it in different ways is effortless. For Eitan, it’s all about the beauty of music, about taking something that comes from the heart and sharing it with others, so that it touches their hearts as well, a lesson that he learned from his father and one that he hopes to pass down to future generations. Eitan currently learns at Yeshiva Shor Yoshuv. He and his wife Malki reside in Far Rockaway, New York with their five, ka’h, children. Ashrecha Eitan discusses the release of his tenth full album Ashrecha Ashrecha, eitan katz new album Eitan on the cover smiling with guitar This is Eitan’s 10th album and it comes with no surprises. With so much soul and flavor each song speaks for itself. Eitan discusses with Zeesha how an album is like a story. Each song, adds to the story. On this Album we see a guest appearance from Benny Friedman Along with his brother Shlomo Katz. The album along with all of Eitan’s others can be found on Eitankatz.com Itunes, Mostly Music and Nigun music.

At this time I would like to make a request. Starting this Sunday, my Kehila, Kosov-Viznits, which I have the privilege to be heavily involved with the Rebbe and Rebitzan on a daily basis, need our help. We are launching 36-hour matching campaign to help raise over 2m Shekel to help continue the growth of the mosdos along with the tremendous amounts of chesed and tzadaka that takes place. I have personally seen first hand how the Rebbe helps and cares for every Jew regardless of who they are and where they came from. I ask of you, my friends and I am humbled to call you friends, as you have supported us week in and week out, to give something, anything to help us reach the goal. It’s on the schut of Hashem and the bracha I received from the Rebbe before we launched our show that we should merit tremendous success and Boruch Hashem, we have.
