Authentic Jewish music touches the heart, speaks to the soul, and elevates every moment of the event. When the melody of ‘Eshet Chayil’ was first heard, performed by a professional cantor under the chuppah, the grandparents began to tear up, the parents smiled lovingly, and the bride simply held tightly to her partner’s hand. The melody enveloped the moment in ancient Jewish magic, as if time had stopped. That’s exactly how I felt when I heard Elior Itzkowitz Cohen’s performance at our family event – it wasn’t just a song, it was a prayer.
