Elisha Birnbaum<\/strong>, one of the hottest guitarist in the religious sector, is now releasing his second single – “Mechakim<\/strong>” and putting a bit of the electric guitar that has so identified with him, into the depths of the soul and the anticipation of redemption.<\/p>\n

Elisha<\/strong> is one of the busiest musicians in Jewish music. Even before he produced his debut single ‘Ikvot<\/strong>‘ which has received a lot of attention plus over 100,000 views in the various media and more since then, he has performed alongside some of the greatest stars in Jewish music including; Avraham Fried, Hanan Ben Ari, Aaron<\/strong> and Yonatan Razel<\/strong> and others, sometimes with several performances a day. That being said, he he also appears quite a bit with as a solo act with performance of his own songs.<\/p>\n

About two weeks ago, Elisha<\/strong> arrived with the students of Rabbi Itamar Ben Gal<\/strong>, (who was murdered in the stabbing attack at the Ariel junction) to the President’s Residence, where they told President Reuven Rivlin<\/strong> that the school day was “The song “Ikvot<\/strong>” together with Elisha<\/strong>, one of the songs that Rabbi Itamar<\/strong> loved especially. “A song that talks about faith and willpower in difficult times, like a will he left for them – and for us,” the president wrote in his Facebook account.<\/p>\n

Now Elisha<\/strong> is releasing his second single titled “Mechakim<\/strong>.” It is a song of watching redemption and not despairing despite the troubles and difficulties on the way. “Elisha is a guitarist, but the guitar is not in the center,” I wanted something calm and calm ” “Elisha’s content is drawn from the religious and yeshiva world in which he grew up, but they are presented in an Israeli-musical language that can touch anyone.<\/p>\n

Lyrics and melody: Elisha Birnbaum
\nMusical production: David Lavi and Hillel Reiner<\/p>\n

A concert for the single will take place this Thursday, March 8, 2010 in the Diaspora, Petach Tikva.<\/p>\n
