About Simche Friedman

Simche Friedman is a Chabad singer on Lehallel — the filtered YouTube platform. 108+ of his recordings can be watched here, with no ads and no comments.

Simche Friedman sings the joy of Chabad - its niggunim, songs of Moshiach and of the Shabbos table - in Hebrew and in Yiddish, and brings old niggunim back to life with choirs and friends. Each song is here once, its most-watched recording, the most-watched first, with what its name means and the year it came out.

His songs most watched on YouTube: "Bekarov (Yitgadal)" (soon - may His name be magnified, 2016), more than seven and a half million times; "Lo Lefached" (do not be afraid, 2019), more than four and a half million; and "Bo Lepo" (come here, 2022), more than a million and a half. "Tadlik Et HaEsh" is Yaakov Shwekey's song, words by Miri Israeli and music by Itzy Waldner; here it is set to a dance. His debut album is Levadecha (You alone, 2021).

From the niggunim of Chabad he sings the Dokshitzer niggun with Mushmush, the Nikolayever and Poltava niggunim with the Panasaim choir, the niggun of 12-13 Tammuz with Leibele Lipsker and the niggun of R' Meir Shlomo Yanovski; with Amit Sofer on the shofar, "Avinu Malkeinu" and "Ochila LaKel"; and with Ishay Ribo, "Hishbati" and "Yesh Tikvah" (2015).

With his family, at their Shabbos table, he sings "Yismechu", "Shehecheyanu", "B'tzeis Yisrael" and "A Sukkah'le". Beside them stand "Im Yirtzeh Hashem", "Od Yavo HaYom" (the day will yet come), "Hashem Yishmorcha", "Neshama", "Choson Kaloh", "Vehu Yigoleinu", "Dich Alein" (You alone, in Yiddish) and "Daven Mit a Niggun", and his medleys for Purim, Hakhel and Chabad gatherings. Each song opens on its own page, with no ads and no comments around it.
