At the age of 20, he met his wife Moran, who happened to be a fan of his, and married. They have one child together.
Gad Elbaz (Born 1982) is a famous Israeli singer. He is best known by his #1 hit, «Halayla Zeh Hazman» (Tonight is the Time) and for being the son of Mizrahi singer Benny Elbaz.
Professional career
As a child, he made 4 records with his father, and later 3 more on his own. He was 16 when he put out his first solo effort, which wasn’t of any meaningful success, called «Light at the end of the Tunnel» Finally in 2005, he released Meanings, which sold close to 100,000 copies in Israel alone. His songs feature catchy Oriental tunes, luring both the observant crowd as well as the non-observant one. In 2006 he released another, toned down album named Kimat Shaket כמעת שקט «Almost Quiet.» A new disc called Ben Hatipot (Between the drops) is set to release sometime in September. One song already put on Israeli radio called «Olam Shel Yeladim»( world of children) is already making hits in Israel. His CD Bein Hatipot is now a HUGE hit in Israel.
Gad’s Objectives
Gad Elbaz has made it clear that although his songs’ lyrics can be misinterpreted (he often sings about God and love for the Torah), his intentions are pure. In an interview with the Jewish Music Insider, he says that his goal is to keep people’s faiths alive through his music, which includes catchy tunes with religious connotation. In an effort to appeal to the non-observant crowd as well, he sings alongside non-observant famous Israeli stars like Lidor Yosefi and Shlomi Shabat. His goal is also to help even non-religious to believe that G-D is there and that G-D exists.

Gad Elbaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Let's dance!)
When you're feeling low
There's a place to go
Come and dance with me
When you feel the beat
Stampin in your feet
Take two steps to the left
Two steps to the right
And turn around in circles, in circles tonight
Take two steps to the left
Two steps to the right
And turn around in circles, in circles tonight
The beat's groovin'
The circle's movin'
I'm feelin young and free
The floor's burning
The circle's turning
That's where I wanna be
Hava Nagila, Hava Nagila, Hava Nagila La La La
Hava Nagila, Hava Nagila, Hava Nagila La La La
When you feel alone
Lookin for the zone

And turn around in circles, in circles tonight
Take two steps to the left

The lyrics of Gad Elbaz's song Hava Nagila describe a joyful celebration of life through dance. The opening lines invite the listener to join in the excitement, declaring "can you feel the vibe?" and encouraging them to dance when feeling low. The song encourages listeners to let loose and "break free" by following a simple dance pattern: two steps to the left, two steps to the right, and spinning in circles. The repetition of these steps throughout the song creates a sense of unity and community, as everyone joins in the dance.
The upbeat and energetic nature of the song is further expressed through the use of Hebrew words and phrases, such as "Hava Nagila" which translates to "let us rejoice" or "let us be happy." This inclusion of Hebrew language adds to the cultural significance of the song and highlights its roots in Jewish folk music. The song's main message is summed up in the lines "we unite as one, come and join the fun," emphasizing the importance of friendship and community, especially during difficult times. In conclusion, Hava Nagila celebrates the power of dance and togetherness as a way to find joy and happiness in life.

Isaiah 53 - Ti shaya nun gimmel
The Messiah who bears sin
Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of Hashem been revealed? It grew before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to draw us to Him; nothing in his appearance to make us want him.
He is despised and rejected by humanity, a Man of suffering and familiar with pain. As one whose face people hide, he was despised and held in low esteem.
Surely He carried our pain and carried our suffering; however, we consider him punished by God, whipped by Him and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.
We all go astray like sheep; each one of us has gone his own way; but Yeshua carried on him the sin of us all.
Distressed and afflicted, he did not open his mouth; as a lamb was led to the slaughter, and as a sheep dumb before its shearers, so He did not open His mouth.” By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and who can count his descendants? Because He was cut off from the land of the living; He was wounded for the transgression of My people.
Zacarías 12:10 - קֹהֶלֶת
“And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer. They will look at me whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son, and they will grieve bitterly for him as one mourns for a firstborn son.
Psalm 110:1 - Melech David:
The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool”
Isaiah 62:1
For the love of Zion I will not be silent, for the love of Yerushalayim/Jerusalem I will not remain still, until her justice shines like the dawn, her Yeshua like a lit torch.
It is our duty as Believers in Yeshua El Mashiach who came, and who will return a second time from Preaching the Gospel in the context that Yeshua is El Mashisch, and is seated at the Right Hand of His Father, Yeshua is El Señor, who died in the Cross, on the tree, for our sins, who rose on the third day and by His Blood, if you repent and believe you have full redemption of sins and eternal life. Now we are no longer orphans but sons and daughters of the Almighty. Amen. Shalom
