Neshama Carlebach is an award-winning singer, songwriter and educator who has performed and taught in cities around the world. A winner and four-time nominee in the Independent Music Awards for her most current release, Believe, and winner of the Global Music Awards Silver Award for Outstanding Performance by a female vocalist for the album, Neshama has sold over one million records, making her one of today’s best-selling Jewish artists in the world.
In the aftermath of the October 7th attacks, Neshama brought thousands of people together throughout the New York metro area for concerts that have raised over $600,000 for Israel. But that was not enough for Neshama. Yearning to inspire further prayer and healing, Neshama has released a new song and accompanying video - Invincible Spirit.
Originally written in support of the Soviet Jewry Movement by her father in the 1960s, Am Yisrael Chai (“The People of Israel Live”) has been an anthem of the Jewish people for over 50 years. When her father wrote Am Yisrael Chai, he was still crying for the pain of the Holocaust. In the wake of the horrors of October 7th, Neshama determined that this moment called for a new interpretation of Am Yisrael Chai, which has usually been sung up-tempo, with excitement. Neshama felt a new interpretation - a slower battle march - emerging, one that embodied the intensity and rhythm inspired by young Israeli soldiers.
Yet Neshama felt that something essential was still missing. The scale of the loss has been too immense. Too many sisters and brothers, grandchildren and spouses are waiting and praying for their loved ones to come home from captivity and from battle. For them, Neshama added Shomer Yisrael (“Protector of Israel”), a prayer for when it feels like the world is collapsing, a plea to heaven for protection for our family against harm.
Am Yisrael Chai is the declaration that our family deserves to live unafraid. Shomer Yisrael is the call for safety and renewed family connection. Combined, these songs serve as a reminder to every Jew - and to the world - that Am Yisrael has always been and will forever be defined by one thing: Invincible Spirit.
Neshama’s op-ed on the creation of Invincible Spirit was recently published by The Times of Israel - blogs.timesofi...
