Summary
Inspiration for the Nation is the weekly Jewish podcast from Living Lchaim, hosted by Yaakov Langer.
Motty Steinmetz (מוטי שטיינמץ) is a world-renowned Chassidic Jewish singer from Bnei Brak, cherished for his angelic voice, heartfelt niggunim, and soulful tefillos. Coming from a Vizhnitz chassidic family, he carries the mesorah of Jewish music that connects generations, blending old-world chassidish warmth with contemporary Jewish inspiration. His songs, drawn from Torah, tefillah, and pesukim, are filled with emunah, dveikus, and yiras Shamayim, reminding us that music is a vessel for avodas Hashem. Motty Steinmetz has become a leading voice in Jewish music, Hasidic niggunim, kumzitz gatherings, weddings, and concerts, uplifting klal Yisrael with sincerity and faith.
