Five avreichim now living\u00a0in Bet Shemesh (but formerly in the US &amp; the UK) spend their mornings\u00a0learning in kollel. However, this unique group also combines the art of music\u00a0with torah. These two (opposing?) fields, exist and play and combine to create\u00a0a unique style of music, both lively and sweeping.<\/p>\n<p>Uri, Benjamin, Gavriel and the other members of the group aim to be mekarev\u00a0other Jews through music with an innovative, contemporary sound with words\u00a0from traditional sources. To this end they appear at concerts for youth at<br \/>\nyeshivot, colleges and campuses all over Israel and throughout the world.\u00a0The anglo accent and energy of these bochurim in white shirts, with tzitzit\u00a0glinting in the stage-lights creates a uniquely charming atmosphere that\u00a0carries the youthful crowd with it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shtar&#8221;&#8216;s music never leaves the listener indifferent. It combines new sounds,\u00a0a variety of beats and different musical styles. The group&#8217;s debut album will\u00a0consist of pop, soul and rhythmic tracks. The complete album is expected to\u00a0be released by Pesach \u202b.\u05d0\u05d9&#8221;\u05d4\u202c<\/p>\n<p>You are invited to enjoy Shtar&#8217;s first single \u2013 Kel Adon from shacharit of\u00a0Shabbat. The tune is catchy and the beat will give you a taste of the rich\u00a0musical experience of the &#8216;avreichim from Bet Shemesh&#8217;. The text was\u00a0chosen in order to give an insight into the words, a deeper understanding of\u00a0the davening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kel Adon&#8221; &#8211; Music \u2013 Uri Mouri | Arranged &#8211; Binyamin Adom | solo \u2013 Dan Izak<\/p>\n<p class=\"audioplayer_container\"><span style=\"display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8\" id=\"audioplayer_1\">Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.
