Singing has the power to untie what is bound within us, and sustain us as we build a more thriving and whole world.

NEW RELEASE

YIVARACHECHA

Yivarechecha is a collection of songs to bless you in the depths of our broken world — in the wild trenches of grief, rage, fear and sorrow, and in the oceanic currents of love, joy, resilience and hope. This music is for weeping, for dancing, for feeling, for reckoning, for softening, for laying on the ground, and for praying with all your heart.

May you be blessed by these songs, and may you bless them in return.

“When Batya sings, my heart feels as if it is being moved inside my chest. Their melodies are rich, musically compelling and inhabited by the tonal legacy of her ancestors. They lead large and small groups in the singing of these songs, guiding people to find their way within, to find their own heart moving. Each group is mesmerized and they follow Batya willingly, opening mouths, softening hearts and strengthening a feeling of connectedness. Batya is a potent leader and an important voice. I am honoured and delighted to walk beside them.”

— Aviva Chernick | Musician & Prayer Leader

“Batya brings the same depth of character to their musical explorations that they bring to their human interactions. Batya strikes a nuanced balance between strength and sensitivity, physicality and spirituality, art and activism. Sing with them and enjoy the truly gorgeous music!”

— Joey Weisenberg | Founder, Creative Director of Hadar's Rising Song Institute
