Yosef Goldman

Yosef Goldman is a soulful voice in contemporary Jewish music, weaving ancient prayers and Hebrew texts into fresh, heartfelt melodies that resonate across generations. Based in the US, this singer-songwriter and composer has become a key figure in Jewish spiritual renewal, crafting acoustic-driven tracks that blend folk intimacy with communal energy. His live recordings like "Ashirah" capture the raw, participatory vibe of singalongs, while studio works such as "Simu Lev" and "Nireh Or" showcase his knack for transforming traditional liturgy into modern mantras. Whether he’s reimagining Sabbath staples like "Veshamru" or offering original English-language prayers like "Open My Heart," Goldman’s music functions as both personal meditation and collective celebration, often described as a bridge between synagogue sanctuary and living room jam session.
