Oneg Shemesh’s music represents a fresh and innovative new sound in Jewish music. His engaging and interactive style is sure to invigorate your soul and your feet!
Oneg Shemesh, whose first name means “utmost joy”, is an Israeli-born guitarist and singer known for positive, well-crafted songs, and genre-blending, innovative work that blends the spiritual aspects of the Modern Orthodox culture in which he was raised with a folk rock sensibility. Whether singing about “shining the light forward” or one’s personal responsibilities in “Only I”, Oneg Shemesh’s music is at times evocative, inspirational, and powerful while always remaining upbeat.
Oneg was raised in Israel on Moshav Modi’im near Tel Aviv. After completing his army service, he joined The Moshav Band as a founding member, an Israeli American-Jewish folk rock band, they combine Jewish music with elements of alternative rock, folk, and reggae. Shemesh toured with them throughout Israel, the United States and Canada.
Having shared the stage with countless great Jewish music stars, among them reggae star Matisyahu, as well as Soul Farm, and Moshav Band and building a strong fan base in the Jewish music scene, Shemesh brings his unique voice to the secular world for the first time with his new album, “Shine Forward”.
When he is not creating and performing music, he likes to spend time with his 3 beautiful children, hike, rollerblade, bike & workout at the gym. He currently resides in West Hempstead, NY.
His latest release “Shine Forward” is now available on all digital music streaming and purchasing sites!
Lyrics:
Chanukah, Chanukah, festival of lights
That lasts for eight nights
Let’s get together, unite tonight.
Each one of us is a little light
When we work together we all shine bright
Let’s get together unite the light.
Chorus:
Maccabees they believed
They had to fight
Took what’s wrong for so long
And made it right
Turned the darkness into light, into light.
Fed up with oppression & tyranny
They had to fight to be free
To worship in peace & harmony
They went to the temple in Jerusalem
To light the menorah to Hashem
And thank him for everything!
Chorus:
Maccabees they believed
They had to fight
Took what’s wrong for so long
And made it right
Turned the darkness into light, into light.
We rise we fall we learn we grow oh oh
It’s a rededication
We rise we fall we learn we grow oh oh
It’s a rededication.
Chorus:
Maccabees they believed
They had to fight
Took what’s wrong for so long
And made it right
Turned the darkness into light, into light.
