Now that you have gotten to know Yehudah Katz from his weekly column on our Root Source newsletter, we thought that we would go back and replay the introductory music video we made of Yehudah Katz performing live with his rock band the Ma’agal which means — the full circle. This one video has interviews, a music video, four live songs, and a Hassidic story! (31:05)
We provide both video and audio formats.
Enjoy! (Lyrics below the video).
