Nachum welcomed singer-songwriter Rabbi Ruvi New, Director of Chabad of East Boca in Boca Raton, Florida, to this morning’s JM in the AM to play and discuss the inspiration for his latest single, “Adi’s Song.”

From the song’s youtube page:

On 27 Tishrei 5784 – October 12, 2023, Adi Baruch, 22 years old, from Kiryat Netafim in the Shomron, died from the wounds she sustained from a missile attack as she approached Sderot on October 11 to fight the terrorists.

Her parents, Avraham and Orit, shared her story with 28 Chabad Shluchim/ Rabbis from the US, Canada, and Australia, who visited them at the conclusion of Shiva. A poem written by Adi was found on her computer after her passing.

Adi was born on the 28th of Cheshvan, a birthdate shared by Rabbi Ruvi New, one of the visiting Rabbis, who with Adi’s parents’ permission, recorded this song to the words of Adi’s poem.
