Israeli star Gad Elbaz[1] has joined forces with American hassidic rap star Nissim Black to remake his famous hit Hashem Melech, and the hit collaboration comes for a good cause - to support the family of a terror victim.
Nissim Black, a successful Seattle rapper, took a break from his rap career in 2011 to focus on his Orthodox conversion to Judaism, and came back a year later with a renewed passion and message.
Now Black and Elbaz have combined their talents in Hashem Melech 2.0 - a powerful new rendition of Elbaz's Hashem Melech (God is King), filmed amid the breathtaking vistas of New York City.
The new music video is leading a crowdfunding campaign that has been joined by CauseMatch.com and Aish HaTorah, to raise funds for the seven children and widow of Rabbi Reuven Biermacher, who was tragically murdered[2] by an Arab terrorist near the Yafo Gate of Jerusalem's Old City last December 23.
The goal of raising $1 million for the grieving family that has lost its sole provider has already reached just over 36% of its goal as of Wednesday morning (Israeli time). To donate click here[3].
Elbaz and Black look to continue their successful collaboration on March 20, as they hold a massive Purim concert at Brooklyn College.
