Intentional prayers – Yair Levi & Shai Tsabari
“Listen to singing -yar levi & shai tsabari- as if to enrich your soul with a sacred elixir, the road to which only music knows. The ethnic motive, the instrumental component, immersion in the atmosphere is simply amazing. Music that emerges a new world inside you. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Слушать пение -Yair Levi & Shai Tsabari- словно обогащать свою душу священным эликсиром, дорогу к которому знает лишь музыка. Этнический мотив, инструментальная составляющая, погружение в атмосферу просто потрясающее. Музыка, которая зарождает новый мир внутри вас.”

artists said about this song:
"I remember that since I started composing songs, my grandmother - Ziona (yes, the same grandmother for whom I created 'Rafa Na') would ask me to try composing songs from the Yemenite songbook (Diwan). She had an old book in her library and she always said to me - "We, the Yemenis know how to speak the Hebrew language correctly - why not try it?"
. It always seemed to me not the time.
After she passed away I opened the ancient book that was in her library and in front of my eyes a treasure was discovered, trove of songs. The melody and lyrics I added came out of my heart so fast it was like a last will she left me.
In the song I was privileged to host a singer and creator so beloved and talented Shai Tsabari who sang the lyrics in the traditional Yemeni pronunciation.
"Intentional Prayers" - those Jews from Yemen who preserved the ancient Hebrew language for thousands of years and this is one of the strengths and great importance they have in the Israeli nation
Grandma, here is what you asked from me, hope you hear"
