Singer Yaakov Shwekey sang for a large group of Chareidi soldiers at the Jordan Valley, who danced as he told them of a special commitment he took upon himself after Operation Protective Edge.
Last Thursday, Shwekey surprised the Nachal Chareidi recruits at the Peles training base in the Jordan Valley. He sang for 200 Chareidi soldiers, accompanied by a few musicians.
Towards the end of the impromptu concert, Shwekey performed a special rendition of his song “Vehi She’amdah,” while the Chareidi soldiers joined in at the chorus and sang with him.
During the performance, Shwekey told the soldiers, “After the last military operation, I accepted upon myself that in every performance, I will dedicate a song to the soldiers, and it is my custom ever since to do so in every performance.”
The training base commander, Lieutenant Colonel Aryeh Shchori, course commander Aryeh Elbaz and the Nachal Chareidi foundation rabbis participated in the event, organized by the Nachal Chareidi Foundation and coordinated by Daniel Pro, who represents Shwekey in Israel.

Why is this considered newsworthy?
We are proud of you Yaakov Shwekey.
You ‘walk the walk & talk the talk’, a lost virtue of this generation.
all these years, I’ve been saying Tehillim or learning Torah as a zechus for Klal Yisrael.
So again Matzav has shown their true colors. Is there ever a time that you DONT cover up peoples comments?
