Ishay Ribo
A Sephardic Orthodox Jew, he has gained popularity in Israel among Haredi, national-religious, and secular Jewish audiences.He later studied in yeshivot in Kiryat Sefer and Gilo, the latter program designed for French olim (immigrants to Israel).[4] Ribo began working on his first album at Sach HaKol Studios in Jerusalem shortly before enlisting in the Israeli Defense Forces for a two-year stint.[3] He and his friends formed a band called "Tachlis" (Goal) which combined heavy metal rock with religious lyrics.[8] He was also featured on the album Achakeh Lo ("I Will Await Him"), which highlights songs from the Holocaust by The Heart and The Spring band.[15] The songs on the album [Tocho Ratzuf Ahavah], all of them by Ribo, are endlessly mature and sensitive; the melodies sometimes sound like a familiar synagogue tune, sometimes like rock classics In 2014, Ribo produced his debut album, Tocho Ratzuf Ahavah ("He Is Filled With Continuous Love").[17] The third single from the album, "Kol Dodi" ("The Voice of My Beloved"), earned second place at the 2013 Israel Song Festival.[4] In October 2015, Ribo released the first single from his second album, "Miksha Ahat Zahav" ("A Solid Piece of Gold"), which he wrote in honor of the birth of his second son.[22] One of the singles on the album, "Lashuv HaBaita" ("Coming Home"), easily became Ribo's biggest song in Israel, with its music video logging more than 49 million views on YouTube.[2][25] My music has reached the broadest audience possible, from the most chasidic people who I would never have expected to listen to it, to complete atheists who write to me and say, "I don't believe in anything, but your songs awaken something in my soul".Unlike Hasidic music, which sets verses from Tanakh to music, Ribo writes original lyrics, drawing inspiration from a variety of religious sources, including the commentary of Rashi, the teachings of Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe and Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler, and ideas he hears in synagogue sermons.[27] In 2019, he was awarded the Israel Minister of Education's Uri Orbach Prize for Jewish Culture in the field of music.
