These band members aim to spread the joy and inspiration of their Breslev philosophy through their music. Yehonasan Lipshutz and Eliyahu Reiter are originally from America and moved to Tzfat to be close to the Breslev community. After arriving in Tzfat they met Yonatan Tzarum. Tzarum’s early musical training was in flamenco dancing music while Reiter’s was rock music and Lipshutz’s was eclectic. The three musicians blended their styles to create a new, specifically Tzfat genre, and formed their band -- Simply Tsfat. Their musical inspirations are inspired by the mountain air and holy Tzfat spirit. |
