Ari Goldwag has released his 7th A Cappella Soul album, this time with the theme of “Darkness to Redemption” in consonance with the three weeks period of mourning for the destruction of the Batei Mikdash. The focus of the songs is on our prayer for redemption and the rebuilding of the Beis Hamikdash.

It’s Chodesh Av, a time of mourning throughout the global Jewish family. The communal mood is tuned to a minor key, as everyone commemorates the historical weight of this particular month.
Somewhere in {Brooklyn}, Shira is finding a way to give voice to the moment. The song of choice is Uvnei Yerushalayim, originally composed by Moshe Morgenstern and Shlome Cohen for the latter’s Lemalah album.
In this rendition, the only instruments present are the powerful, layered Shira voices, and the pleaful soloing of Yanky Green—a cherubic voice and a “Yiddish Nachas” alumnus reminiscent of the tinokkos shel rabbin who will usher in the coming of Mashiach.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the “darkness” and U.S. President Donald Trump and his senior adviser Jared Kushner are his “messengers,” according to a music video broadcast by official Palestinian Authority TV last month. Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas is the “light”—literally, “the Son of the Sun”—the counter-force that will defeat the darkness.
Visuals of Netanyahu followed by Trump accompany lyrics telling of “a monster with horns dragging a tail.” Abbas—the “Son of the Sun”—is instructed to “break its horn and cut off its tail.”
Later in the video, the monster “knocks on the door with his fangs,” while a photo of Trump is shown, followed by a dollar bill bearing his portrait.
