אבינו - Uvini

My beloved brother Yiddy composed many tunes during his lifetime, yet none were ever released. He crafted this particular song during countless hours immersed in Torah study. His warm voice always exuded calmness and gentleness.

I had the honor of attending the Bar Mitzvah of his youngest son, "Shragi," in the holy land of Israel.

In honor of this momentous occasion,

I ventured into Moshe Jacob's studio and recorded the song, infusing it with soulful guitar strokes by Nachman Dreyer. The song was further enhanced by Yiddy's sons, who recorded their additions at Yanki Braun's studio in Yerushalayim.

We're publishing it to honor his memory and his relentless pursuit of Torah knowledge, yearning to dwell in the house of Hashem.

It's been over two years since I lost my dear brother Yiddy z"I, yet our bond remains etched in my heart.

This one's for you, Yiddy.
