Motty Ilowitz - Tu BiShvat | מאטי אילאוויטש - חמשה עשר בשבט Motty Ilowitz - Tu BiShvat | מאטי אילאוויטש - חמשה עשר בשבט

I always wondered... every (well, almost) celebratory occasion, in the Jewish calendar, has designated melodies and poems, but there is no specific and special tune or expressive balladry on/about "Tu BiShvat - חמשה עשר בשבט" (the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat). I decided to work on a poetic creation, and include the שבעת המינים (the species of fruit which the land of Israel is praised for: grapes, figs, olives, pomegranates, dates, etc.) - poetically, fluently and skillfully - within the rhymes and tune. It is customary to eat a 'new' fruit which one has not eaten that entire season, and would require the blessing of "Shehecheyanu". Nuuu.... this new song has finally come to 'fruition'. Let's make a Shehecheyanu! . . Composed, written, and sung by: Motty Ilowitz Music arranged by: Binyomin Yoel Schlesinger Vocal recorded at: Edgware Studios Video by: Vivid Media
