Israeli rock musician Aviv Geffen and Hasidic pop music star Avraham Fried have a released a new single together: “Batzoret.”

Avraham Fried: “It could have been another evening of corona routine at my home in Brooklyn, but a video sent to me by a friend from Eretz Yisroel made me cry at once.

I have never met Aviv Geffen and such a meeting was not on the agenda at all.

But if there is one thing the Corona has taught us is, that “there is no such thing, that there is no such thing” and hearts can meet and connect even within tens of thousands of miles.

When I saw Aviv in tears in the video in an interview and wanted to turn off the discourse of hatred and multiply brotherly love, I could no longer stand aside and I responded to his call.

“Because we are brotherly people.”

Aviv Geffen: “This song comes to open the door to hope and unity, and to finding a place where you can meet.

The song was recorded after countless fascinating conversations between Avraham and me. We felt this was a statement we both wanted to keep. A kind of will of a country that wants the people who live in it not to be forgotten.”
