Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai was one of the deepest spiritual beings that ever existed, his fame is known because of the Zohar (The Book of Splendor). This is a book which is the basis for most mystical thought in Judaism. Today marks the anniversary of his passing and to celebrate his life and contribution 3 Shemspeed artists wrote songs dedicated to his memory. The first is by Brody and blends moroccan melodies with a club rhythm and the second is by and from Y-Love & Yuri Lane’s Sefira album of Beat Box and Raps made with no instruments at all.
