Chuppah Moments: V'nacha • Eitan Katz

There’s something so special about chuppah moments—the tefillos, the emotion, the feeling of Hashem’s presence as two people begin their journey together. Music only enhances that, carrying the depth of the moment in a way words cannot. "V’nacha" is an especially beautiful tefillah for the chuppah—asking that Hashem’s presence rest upon us, bringing peace, clarity, and bracha as this new home is built. In a moment so filled with hope and connection, this tefillah is a reminder that every step forward is guided from above.

Originally recorded for the "Truma" Album by Eitan Katz

Six13 - Prayer for the Hostages - Music Video

Since October 7, many synagogues around the world have adopted the "Mi Shebeirach" tefilah for our hostages. It is a reminder that we are not whole as long as there are hostages sitting in captivity, and it is a piercing prayer to God to set them free. We felt compelled to take this setting composed by our own Mordy Weinstein and put the Six13 spin on it.

Thousands At Yahrzeit Of R' Elimelech of Lizhensk

Thousands of Chasidic Jews pray at the grave in Poland of one of the faith’s most influential rabbis, marking the 238th anniversary of his death. Rabbi Elimelech Weisblum’s grave in southeastern Poland see Jews from across the world they pray, dance and sing at one of the most significant places in the Hasidic faith.

“Der Hilger” Rabbi Elimelach of Lizensk is of singular significance to Chasidim, merely mentioning his name brings shivers to some. In addition to his deep piety and elevated righteous status, he is also the author of the venerated sefer, Noam Elimelach – one of the principal Chasidic works, which is furthermore believed to be a powerful segulah in many areas. The annual pilgrimage of Chasidim pays homage to his towering greatness. They pray, they sing, they dance, and they worship as one in many moving ceremonies imploring for the merits of their tzaddik to be upon them as well. Many Chasidim go to great lengths as to be present to this emotionally charged event, and it is said that the Rebbi promised anyone who would visit his grave would not leave this world without teshuva.

Elimelech lived from 1717 to 1787, and became one of the most important figures in the Orthodox Jewish faith after dedicating his life to studying the Torah.
