Welcoming Shabbat with Ana Bekoach Sung by Omer Adam - Israel's Most Popular Singer

Omer Adam is an Israeli singer whose music fuses elements of eastern Mizrahi music (Oriental-Middle Eastern) and Western Pop instrumentation. In 2023, Ynetnews named Adam "Israel's most famous singer". 

He is Israel's most successful singer of all time, with over 1.4 million views collectively on YouTube, and the most listened singer in Israel for the past four consecutive years on Spotify and Apple, reaching millions of streams. No other Israeli artist has ever achieved such numbers.

This same applies to his concerts –tickets are sold-out within minutes, creating an endless demand.

In 2019, Adam said that he turned down an offer to appear at that year's Eurovision contest since it would involve working on Shabbat (Jewish Sabbath). While Adam is not traditionally observant, he has made a point in his career of refusing to work on Shabbat.

In this video, Adam sings Ana Bekoach, part of the Kabbalat Shabbat Friday evening service, at a sold out concert in Israel.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
