Dive into the Heart of Jewish Music with Mendy Portnoy: Where Music and Soul Collide.
Imagine a young boy, one of nine children, captivated by the melodies of Shabbat prayers. In his mind, the cantor's voice wasn't alone; it soared alongside a full orchestra, transforming the synagogue into a concert hall.
That boy, Mendy Portnoy, grew up to become a world-class producer, shaping the very soundscape of Jewish music with TYH Music and Farbrengable Studios.
Now, Mendy invites you on a unique journey - not just through hit songs, but into the lives and minds of the people who create them.

Peek behind the curtain and discover the fascinating people who shape the music that moves our Jewish community.
But Mendy's podcast goes beyond celebrity interviews. Growing up in a vibrant family led by an orchestra conductor-turned-Rabbi, music was always woven into Mendy's experience of Judaism.
This podcast is his quest to understand the very essence of "Jewish music" - its origins, influences, and what it means to those who create and embrace it.
Whether you're a music aficionado, curious about the industry, or seeking a deeper connection to the melodies that touch your soul, Mendy Portnoy's podcast is your invitation to listen, learn, and be inspired.
