In Memory Of Moshe Yess

Hello, this is Abie Rotenberg. I hope you will
indulge me a moment to pay tribute to the
great R’ Moshe Yess .עליו השלוםMoshe was
a brilliant song-writer, a superb guitarist,
but most of all, an amazing Yid. Moshe
grew up disconnected from Torah and
Mitzvos, and passionately chased his dream
of a career in country music. He played
with various bands, doing stage work and
appearing in honkytonks all across the
country. How he ended up traveling to Eretz
Yisrael and discovering God and Torah is
an extraordinary story of its own. We are,
however, so fortunate that he did. He left
us with a remarkable legacy of words and
music that continue to inspire Jews around
the world – to strengthen their connection
to the Almighty and a Torah way of life. He
also was a major contributor to Journeys,
with performances on the first three
albums. We have chosen to honor Moshe
by including as the next track on this album,
an adaptation of one of his lesser known
compositions. It has been modified slightly
for both artistic and halachic purposes, but
regardless, it highlights Moshe’s creative
eye and whimsical heart. It was also an
honor for me to sing it with his talented son
Tali. We hope you enjoy.
יהי זכרו ברוך
