The long awaited debut album is almost here!
Presented by Sameach Music and produced by Avi Newmark, this has been one of the most anticipated albums in recent memory, featuring 12 tracks sure to satisfy all musical palettes.
A variety of talented artists team up to bring you this masterful musical production. Selections include compositions from such famed composers as Yitzy Waldner and Elimelech Blumstein, and relative newcomers like Meshulum Greenberger and Oriel Avraham. Arrangers range from Good ol’ Mona and Moshe Laufer to the always incredible Leib Yaakov Rigler and Avremi G, along with some great surprises from Ian Freitor, the album’s engineer.
The Friedman/Marcus families showcase some very strong talent with three compositions, including the title track, Taamu, composed by Shmuel Marcus, an incredible piece of music sure to take your breath away composed by Simche Friedman, and a Bentzi Marcus composition featuring a duet with 8th Day! Rabbi Manis Friedman, Benny’s father, collaborates with Lipa Schmeltzer to compose a Yiddish lyric that will at once force you to look inward, while causing your feet to move with the beat!
A special musical tribute was composed by Yitzy Spinner in memory of Izzy Taubenfeld, the founder of Sameach Music.
As an added bonus, the cover art and the CD jacket and all the corresponding art was all designed by the undisputed king of Jewish Music design, Sruly Meyer!
Keep an eye on JewishJukebox.com for an official release date coming very soon!

Nice. Thank god he has a beard and has his Tzisis out like a normal Jewish singer (or at least the way a Jewish singer should look) unlike the way OTHER singers look, with NO BEARD etc.
Benny has the future of Jewish music in his hands, all the other WANNABEES should give up now…stop copying MBD & Fried, cuz they are the real stuff.
So clean shaven guys shouldn’t be allowed to sing?
I’m with Kol Isha on this one. Shwekey, Gabay, and half of the Jewish music artists aren’t real JEWISH singers because they lack facial hair?
If I can just try to clarify what the other commenter meant. I think he means that many CHASSIDIC singers sadly dont always live up to the image a CHASSID should live up to. Trimmed beard, goyishe clothing or styles. In this case Benny looks like a Chassidishe yungerman should look like. Although i guess the commenter didn’t think about the people who dont have a minhag to have a beard.
Allthough the same comment can apply to whats considered appropriate dress and acting for people dont hold from a beard also.
I honeslty dont think he meant anyone without a beard is not a good role model.
