Gad Elbaz releases new single "Higaleh Na"
Singer-songwriter Gad Elbaz releases a new single titled "Higaleh Na", based on the words of the well-known liturgical poem "Yedid Nefesh". Featuring an original melody, the track brings the profound power of the Jewish niggun to the forefront.
The words of the piyyut, which accompany the Sabbath and the Jewish calendar, receive a dedicated focus of intention and prayer in this performance. Elbaz approaches the text through a connection to Hasidic roots, choosing a clean musical arrangement that serves the lyrics and allows the listener to enter a moment of calm and spiritual elevation. The song builds gradually, moving from an inner quiet into a natural, effortless vocal power.
For many years, Elbaz has bridged Jewish music with wider audiences across Israel and Jewish communities worldwide. These encounters with diverse audiences shape his vocal style, reflected here in his ability to strike an emotional chord through a simple and precise sound.
At the center of the track is a plea for revelation and closeness, a theme carrying special resonance at a time when many seek comfort and an inner anchor. "Higaleh Na" offers room to breathe, where the melody itself becomes a language of shared prayer.
The single is available across all digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, alongside radio broadcast. Available now to stream and share.
