Four months ago he released his latest album “Bein Hatzlilim” which just reached gold album sales! “Katointi“, “Hagagua“, “Bein Hatzlilim“, “Nigun Belz” and “Ashira” from the new album continue playing in various radio stations and warm the hearts of listeners worldwide. Yonatan is continuing his national tour which included 2 previous performances were sold out. With Pesach fast approaching, Razel wanted to give a gift to the audience/fans and released the exciting song “V’hi Sheomda” with new arrangements and now being sung by Yonatan himself. The story of this song began when the Chasidic singer Yaakov Shwekey invited Razel to join him for a guest appearance during his show in Caesarea. Together they searched for new materials to help enhance the show. Razel played this song for Shwekey who immediately fell in love with the song. In 2008 they performed the song duet concert in Caesarea. That performance was recorded and included the CD and DVD. The duet became one of the biggest hits of the last decade in the orthodox religious world and won the title song of the decade at the radio station “Kol Chai”. Over the years Razel constantly gets requests from the audience in his performances to perform the song.
