“A song that comes to open the door to hope and unity “: Hassidic singer Avraham Fried and secular singer Aviv Geffen teamed up for an extraordinary collaboration and this morning (Sunday) launched “Batzoret”, an exciting duet with a message of brotherhood and unity. The unique collaboration was born following the interview in which Geffen read “Turn off the hate speech” and told about The connection he found to the ultra-Orthodox world.
“This song comes to give an opening to hope and unity, and to finding a place where one can meet,” Geffen said. “It was recorded after countless fascinating conversations between Abraham and me. We felt it was a statement we both want to keep. A kind of will of a state that wants the people living in it not to be forgotten.”
Avraham Fried said that the factor behind their first meeting was the same interview with Geffen, which a friend from Israel sent to New York. “It could have been another evening of Corona’s routine at my home in Brooklyn, but a video sent to me by a friend from the country made me cry at once,” Fried said.

“I have never met Aviv Geffen and such a meeting was not on the agenda at all. But if there is one thing the Corona has taught us is that” there is no such thing, that there is no such thing “and hearts can meet and connect even tens of thousands of miles away.”
“When I saw Aviv in tears in the video in an interview and wanted to turn off the discourse of hatred and multiply brotherly love, I could no longer stand aside and I responded to his call. ‘Because we are brotherly people.'”
