New Single “Ta’iti” by Avromi Spitz Encapsulates Our Unbreakable Bond with Hashem
Singer-songwriter Avromi Spitz has built a reputation of releasing singles with unbelievably strong meaning.
In 2018 he released a complete original album titled “FAITH” with each song carrying more depth and meaning than the last. He followed that with a series of powerful singles carrying the same mission.
With his latest release “Ta’iti” which is now streaming on all platforms, he has done it yet again.
“At times we get lost in life, and create distande from our true selves and from Hashem.” Spitz shared.
The stunning ballad captures how no matter how far we stray, we always have the ability the call out to Hahshem and to find us where we are.

A special live performance of the song “Zeh Hayom” was featured at the central gathering marking 45 years since the founding of Kahal Machzikei HaDas of Belz Chassidim, held at Binyanei HaUma in Jerusalem.
The event was led by the Belzer Rebbe, with the participation of community rabbis and dayanim, supporters, and benefactors from across Israel and abroad, alongside the head of the community, Rabbi Mordechai Brisk.
A highlight of the evening was the live rendition of “Zeh Hayom”, a song from the early Belz music albums, which resonated warmly with the audience.
The performance featured the Neshama Choir and an expanded symphonic orchestra conducted by arranger Mona Rosenblum, giving the song a refreshed musical touch while preserving its nostalgic charm.

It all began when I received a call from a company in Israel describing the need for a song to the text of the ברכת אשר יצר. It seems that after a thorough investigation of the abilities of many young people to recite the words of Asher Yotzar without reading from a printed copy, it was determined that there existed the need for a memory aid in the form of a singable melody on the words of the Brocho. The challenge was to write a melody that would make use of each word in this Brocho only once (as is required when making Brachos). Should this song be written and deemed appropriate for this quest, the company would then proceed to manufacture a device that could be mounted on the wall in the washing areas, that when pressed it would play the pre-recorded version of this new song.
