Famous Israeli Singer Akiva Sings “Don’t Leave me on my Own”
Zusha is a one-of-a-kind Jewish band. Their music has captured the hearts of people everywhere. Akiva is also very well known. He is one of the most famous Israeli musicians and puts his entire heart into his music. Although the group Zusha and the singer Akiva have different styles, both of them have become very popular. So how can it be bad when Akiva covers one of Zusha’s songs?
There is something about this song by Zusha, “Don’t Leave me on my Own,” that Jews (and even non-Jews) have connected to. You can feel the emotion in this song. Even if you don’t understand every word, there is something you can’t explain about the way it uplifts your soul and makes you feel connected to G-d. Music has power to change someone’s mood—for the better or worse.
King David used music to connect to G-d. Prophets throughout the Bible did. Levites sang in the Temple. Music is clearly a central component of Jewish spirituality. You can’t deny that. If it has so much power, we should make sure we use it for the good. “Don’t Leave me on my Own” is definitely a very powerful song.
