On Tisha B’Av 1492, the Jews of Spain were expelled. But the Abarbanel gave them a message that still echoes today: we may be leaving Spain, but we are not leaving broken. We’re going to dance out with joy, because happiness is what Hashem wants from us. https://t.co/FpNB7POnwd

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

Every generation of Jews has carried its own tears & its own fears of whether we’ll rise again. “Ani Yehudi” is about that unbreakable pride that refuses to disappear. No matter how many times we’re are attacked, we’re here, still believing, still singing. https://t.co/FpNB7POnwd

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

Life moves fast. Sometimes we’re chasing the next thing before we stop to realize how much we have. It’s time to shift the lens, notice the miracles & the many things we’d miss if we never slowed down to see them. We have so much to be thankful for!

Sunday can’t come soon enough!! I can’t wait for you to hear these 4 brand-new English songs and blast them all summer long!! 🌴🦋🦩🎶

The yeshuos we are waiting for are already prepared in shamayim. All we have to do is call out to Hashem, and He will send them! 🫶

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

Shabbos is the greatest gift in the world! We now see the President of the United States recognizing it, too. Truly historic! Let’s keep singing The Music of Shabbos like never before!!

Time and again, they try to rewrite our story. What they don’t realize is that the Author is on our side.

Enjoy this impromptu moment on stage, straight from the heart to the heart 🖤

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

@Chusidel I’m with you on that!

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

Music has the power to shape us in ways we don’t always realize. Achashverosh understood this and chose not to have music at his party. The content we choose matters, because over time it influences who we become.

Every Friday at sundown, our closing bell rings and we step away from the hustle and bustle to welcome Shabbos, our greatest investment.

Thank you, Channel 10, for inviting me to the @NYSE to share my thoughts, live from Wall Street!

@mendypiano @NYSE What an experience!!

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

The music of Shabbos is music steeped in tradition and carries many accents. Piyutim and pizmonim - sacred poetry of praise - are meant to be felt as much as understood. The final medley of The Music of Shabbos, “Pizmonim,” is out now! Stream it on https://t.co/ijObImJ8o1.

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

What makes a Shabbos table a place people truly belong? In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Rabbi @ShlomoFarhi to explore the power of Shabbos and song as a bridge between generations, between hearts, and between a person and Hashem. https://t.co/ijObImJ8o1

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

Havdalah - a tender farewell to our cocoon of kedusha. Though Shabbos is going away, her absence will not be for long.

Listen to medley 10 of 11, “Havdalah and Melaveh Malkah,” off The Music of Shabbos album now on https://t.co/ijObImJ8o1!

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

In the closing minutes of Shabbos, the world grows hushed. Suspended between day & dusk, these auspicious moments offer one last embrace to our neshamos so reluctant to let go. Around our tables, soft voices join together, singing tefillos full of d’veykus, love & comfort.

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

The Steipler taught: Aside from learning mussar, the primary source of our yiras Shamayim comes from Shabbos zemiros. Sing your heart out!

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

The table gleams with radiance - a holy feast of song, where heaven feels close enough to touch. Across continents & centuries, Am Yisroel joins in one timeless refrain - from Morocco to Modzitz & everywhere in between, a legacy of unbroken tradition. https://t.co/ijObImJ8o1

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

What a tremendous zchus to meet HaGaon Rav Shimon Galai shlit”a on our flight now to the Holy Land! It was a great honor to gift the Gadol with The Music of Shabbos book and receive the Rav’s brachos for the mission in spreading the gift of Shabbos!

[Yaakov Shwekey @ShwekeyOfficial]

Shabbos isn’t a break from the week. It’s the center of it.

In this conversation, I sit down with my Rosh Kollel, R’ Shlomo Diamond, to explore what Shabbos really is - the anchor point that everything else in the week revolves around.

There would never be time enough to thank Hashem… especially for the gift of Shabbos! ❤️‍🔥
