Artist's Statement: Bringing color to the Jewish nation is the goal of Art for the Soul. Chassidic music has been elevated to a very high level but is still black and white. I dream of seeing Chabad mitzvah vans in color as well as the large Menorahs! Lets bring color to the Jewish nation!

Artist's Statement: Ana B’Koach is a prayer which represents the hidden side of G‑d's protection.
