    Short bios for credits on cover

    Avraham Fried

    At the tender age of 9 he was hailed a child prodigy. In his numerous concert appearances across the U.S., Israel, Great Britain and South Africa, Avraham, or Avremel as he's known to his friends captures the mind and hearts of his audiences. Listen and be inspired by a true Chassidic Menagen, Avraham Fried.

    When a Chassid sings, he expresses feelings which he can not communicate through words. Words are constricting and can only tell of limited thoughts and feelings. Song transcends words. The innermost feelings of the soul find expression in melody. Song expresses soul. Avremel truly fits the Chassidic term "Menagen." His singing reflects true Chassidic Milieu he was raised in, and his singing expresses the joy and enthusiasm in being a Jew, which is part of the fabric of Chassidic life.

    The songs he chooses to sing are songs of trust, inspiration, and faith. They tell of joy and express the imminent age redemption.[2]

    Zimriah Orchestra

    In a little more than a year, the Zimriah Orchestra has achieved recognition as a quality band for any simcha. In a field where most groups come and go, the Zimriah Orchestra has attained for itself a permanent place in the Jewish music industry.[2]

    Holyland Records

    A joint venture between Sheya Mendlowitz and Mordechai Ben David, a name bearing the reputation of producing the finest recordings in Jewish music today.[2]

    Trivia

    • It is interesting to note that it seems like Baruch Chait was not credited on the album for composing the song Kale.
