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.

The song "In the Beginning" by Gad Elbaz speaks to the relationship between the Jewish people and God. The first verse speaks about a vow made by God to the Jewish people, to make them the chosen nation. This vow is what gives the Jewish people their identity and purpose, and is what has kept them alive throughout history. The chorus, "Baboker Chasdecha V'emunatcha Balelot" translates to "Your loving-kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness at night". This is a reference to Psalm 92:2, which praises God's goodness throughout the day and night.
The second verse speaks about how God "hides" from the Jewish people in the darkness, but that the strength and faith within them allows them to persevere. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the importance of God's love and faithfulness in all situations.
Overall, the song speaks to the enduring relationship between the Jewish people and God, and the importance of faith and trust in times of darkness.
