Timeline
Yossi Green (born 1955) is a Hasidic Jewish composer of contemporary Jewish religious music.
While studying at the Manchester Yeshivah in 1973, Green began to write his own songs.
During this time he heard Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly with His Song" playing from a passing car, and it inspired him to write his own version of soul music, "Kol Berama", which was featured on a Pirchei London album under the direction of Yigal Calek and became an international hit.
Green has composed and recorded over 700 melodies in the genres of contemporary Jewish religious music, pop music, classical music, Hasidic music, and show tunes.
He draws most of his lyrics from primary Jewish texts, including Torah, Talmud, and Midrash.
He also finds lyrics in liturgical and personal prayers, Shabbat zemirot, and biographies of famous rabbis.
His major hits are "Kol Berama" ("A Voice in Ramah"; text from Jeremiah 31:14-15), "Tanya" ("We learned"; text from Berakhot 7a), "Aderaba", "Daagah Mi-nayin", "Didoh Bei" ("If You Have Knowledge"; text from Nedarim 41a), "Shomati", "Ve'erastich", “Hineni Rofeh Loch” and "Anovim".
