In the era of the Tanach both niviot and naviim served as sources of inspiration, guiding us to express ourselves through song and dance in times of adversity, Hashem’s miracles, and gratitude toward Him. Rabbanim have identified 10 songs of redemption that emerged through miraculous events.
Like many others, I have faced personal struggles, which have profoundly shaped my life. How we navigate these challenges ultimately shapes our future paths. I took the initiative to pick myself up, relocate to Israel, enroll in a seminary for young women, and a year later, I made aliyah. Embracing this new chapter, I have moved forward, leaving the pain of those challenges behind. We all carry scars, but it’s how we carry them that defines us.
Singing has always been my passion. I have now poured my passion and raw emotion into my music, finding it incredibly cathartic. My recently released album, “VULNERABILITY,” delves into genuine emotions drawn from personal experiences, inviting listeners to connect intimately with their own struggles through my lyrics. The lead single, “Here Through It All,” embodies resilience in the face of life’s challenges, acknowledging the presence of Hashem during difficult times. Its catchy tune resonates with listeners, whether in Israel or abroad. With diverse genres, the songs’ lyrics offer solace to those reflecting on their own hardships, resonating deeply within the layers of each listener’s journey.
The positive feedback for the album warms my heart, and I am grateful for every comment received. You can find my single and album under my middle name, Nediva, on various platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Pandora, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, iTunes and Instagram. A portion of the proceeds from the album will support ORA, an organization aiding women in obtaining a get.
I extend special thanks to Gavriel Phillip Reichman for producing the album and collaborating with Yaakov Galen on the music and lyrics. I’m immensely thankful to my parents, Andrea and Bryan Bier, as well as Rabbi Kosowsky, for their unwavering support. To my friends, the songs on my album are dedicated to you and Hashem for standing by my side.
