The soul we wake up with each morning isn’t just returned to us—it’s breathed into us by Hashem Himself, מאן דנפח מתוכו נפח, a gift straight from His essence. It’s a humbling and deeply moving idea, knowing that each day we are gifted something so pure, so divine. That sense of gratitude is at the heart of “Elokai Neshama – Pure Soul!”, a medley that weaves together beloved classics and fresh, contemporary tunes. Each melody reflects our deep appreciation for Hashem’s infinite kindness in renewing this sacred present, the neshama, He entrusts us with every single day.
Sometimes it feels like we’re just one note in a sea of sound, but when we come together, that’s when the magic happens. Like a single note finding its place within the chords, each of us brings something unique to the music. Alone, we’re just a sound, but together, we create something that resonates deeper, something that lifts and unites. It’s the simplicity of one note that, when combined, becomes something far greater. That’s the essence of the “One Note Niggun”—one note, one heart, but together, endless harmony.
Torah is the thread that ties us to our past and guides us forward. It’s not just something we read; it’s something we live, breathe and carry with us every day. On Simchas Torah, we celebrate this eternal bond with immense joy, singing and dancing. For this medley, we revisited Yeedle’s classics, bringing back his timeless Torah songs and infusing them with a fresh, new sound. Performed by Yeedle, alongside the Shira Choir and Mendy Hershkowitz Band, the “Torah Medley” captures the spirit, depth and passion of the words we hold so dear. Each note mirrors the beauty of Torah, allowing its sweetness to resonate within us. Recorded live at the Cheskie Weisz Hachnosas Sefer Torah.
The story of Noach, which we reference on Rosh Hashanah, reminds us of how much Hashem loves us, even when the world seems to embrace everything He has forbidden. At a time when He was ready to destroy everything, Hashem still chose to save Noach, seeing the greatness in him and considering him a tzaddik. As we daven and walk the path of teshuva, we must remember that Hashem sees the good in us and loves us deeply. The more challenging our surroundings make it to cling to Him, the greater we are in His eyes when we do. To help us get closer and in the right mindset for the Yomim Noraim, we’ve brought out this classic, “Vegam” by Moshe Goldman z”l, from the archives. Isaac Honig’s stirring vocals, backed by the Shira Choir and Mendy Hershkowitz Band, will touch your heart and help you feel Hashem’s loving embrace as we enter the New Year. May we all be zoche to be written and sealed in the book of tzaddikim!
It’s hard to believe another Tisha B’Av has come and gone, and Moshiach hasn’t arrived yet. For the first time in a long time, we can truly feel the sting of destruction and the desperate need for Yerushalayim to be rebuilt. Our hearts ache, but our hope is unwavering. “Yearning for Yerushalayim,” featuring Benny Friedman, Baruch Levine, Shira Choir and the Mendy Hershkowitz Band, captures these powerful emotions. This moving medley, inspired by Baruch’s “Off the Record” album, is filled with notes of hope and a deep longing for our holy city’s restoration. Let the music uplift your soul and strengthen your faith as we dream together of the day Yerushalayim will stand in its glory once again.
A little Pesach treat for you, our dear listeners and fans 🖤 We often get asked for longer, full-length clips from our gigs, so we decided to grab some phones, shoot from different angles, and give you a real look at what our music sounds like. Wishing you a Chag Kosher V’Sameach! #MendyHershkowitzBand #ShmueliUngar #HershyWeinberger

Classic songs are treasured by listeners over the arc of many generations. Many such songs owe their nostalgia and wide acceptance to their perfect simplicity and wholesomeness. This Bobov march, composed by Rabbi Chaim Duvid Blum, of blessed memory, falls squarely within that realm. Covering such a classic—indeed, attempting to embellish it—is a careful, skillful task for which Shira is particularly well suited. This is part of our ongoing series of refining and refreshing old, Chassidic songs. Here, too, Shira’s talented voices, and wonderful chemistry with the inimitable Mendy Hershkowitz Band and classical arrangements by maestro Yisroel Lamm only serve to elevate this wonderful composition for the appreciation by a whole new generation of listeners. Performed live at a recent simcha in Brooklyn.

With Lag Ba’Omer upon us, we begin to reflect on the tragedy which took the lives of 45 Kedoshim in Meron last year.

We stand with Him despite the challenges He sends our way. This is the message of this song, written by Yanky Daskal at the request of a father who lost his son in Meron.

The sweet sounds of Shmueli accompanied by the beautiful and heartfelt sound that is Sababa and will leave you with a lasting impression
Last Summer, Shmueli Ungar was scheduled to perform together with MBD in a major show with Haminagnim in Eretz Yisroel. Sadly, there were terror attacks in the form of rockets flying in very close to where the concert was scheduled to be. The police, due to safety issues decided the show needs to be canceled. Upon arriving back to America, Shmueli was discussing a Chupa they had that night with Mendy Hershkowitz of Sababa Band. Mendy asked him the complete story as he had only heard bits and pieces, during the conversation the idea came up to do a song together. Shmueli, echoing his thoughts about this recent story, settled on the words, “Bitchu Bashem” for a concept. No matter what happens, no matter the curves life throws our way, Hashem is the one in charge, all we have to do is keep the faith. Together with composer Hershey Weinberger and his producer, Naftali Schnitzler the super team joined together to create the upcoming single and video you are about to enjoy.

Here, Shira’s two-tier vocal lineup explores the song’s rich landscape, thumping across its soft-march terrain; swinging through its upbeat disco chorus; and harmonizing its climactic staccato interlude.
