Welcome to Shevach, a label born from the heart of the Schick family, dedicated to sharing the beauty of Yiddeshe Niggunim with the world. ‘Shevach’ means praise, but it is also an acronym for ‘Sheva Benei Chana,’ a testament to our family’s legacy.
For years, we’ve been creating warm and harmonious music, full of heart and soul, passing it down through generations and sharing it privately with our community. Now, we’re thrilled to make our music available to the public, so everyone can enjoy the spirit and joy that it brings.
Our mother, a pillar of faith and courage, has been the inspiration behind our music. Her dedication to Torah, family, and community is a shining example to us all. A musical genius in her own right, she’s composed and arranged countless pieces, including the beloved ‘Rachel’s Plays.’ Her humility and kindness have touched thousands, and we’re honored to dedicate ‘Music of the Soul’ to her.
Shevach is more than just a label – it’s a celebration of praise, family, and tradition. We hope you enjoy the songs and medleys we’ve curated over the years, and may they bring joy and inspiration to your life.
From the composer:
“As I wrote the tune, these words flowed from my mouth, inspired by the thought of generations built from just a single beautiful couple. It’s a reminder that the courage to work hard and build can have a profound impact on generations to come, in all areas of life. We do our part, and G-d opens the floodgates of goodness.
I think of my grandmother, at 90 years old, standing alone yet so proud of the life she lived and the fruits she’s reaping, even in this world, of the generations she’s built through faith and courage in post-war America.
The poignant words from Perek 128 in Tehilim contain powerful blessings for the Yoray Shomayim: ‘He should reap the fruits of his labors, his yegiyah in Torah; His wife should be fruitful and bear him many children, and he should live to see many doros of descendants.’ This Perek is sung under the Chupah at German Chasunahs because of the beauty and significance of its manifold brachos for the new Chasan and Kallah.
May we merit to see the fruits of our labor, and may our efforts be blessed with prosperity and growth, just like the generations that have come before us.
Ultimately, we will all emerge from the darkness, and our little acts of kindness will bear fruit when the Geula Shelaima arrives, uniting all the generations in Yerushalayim Habenuya. Then, we will see the full beauty of our collective efforts, and the infinite goodness that has been bestowed upon us.”
First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Hakadosh Baruch Hu for granting me the ability to be a shliach, to bring His holy niggunim into this world. I hope to be able to follow in the ways of Dovid Hamelech, who said about himself, “ואני תפילה” (“And I am prayer”).
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Aunt Rivky for generously sponsoring this song.
Special thanks to Asher, my dear brother, for his outstanding performance. His sweet voice is a joy to listen to, and his encouragement has been invaluable in inspiring me to share my niggunim with the world. His involvement from start to finish has been instrumental in bringing this project to life.
I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to the incredibly talented Nochum Levitan, an exceptional producer, arranger, and musical genius in his own right! His expertise and artistry have elevated this song to new heights.
And lastly, I would like to thank the talented team at I & Me Media – your expertise and dedication are second to none!
I am also forever grateful to my Eishes Chayil for her unwavering courage and support, which has meant the world to me throughout. – Yosef
