Elyatsur in a Band Performance

The rapper and singer Yair Elitzur, also known by his stage name “Elitzur,” is the creator of the anthem that conquered the country and the most-played Israeli song of all time, “God Always Loves Me.”

Elitzur began his musical career approximately 15 years ago, when hip-hop in Israel was still part of the underground scene. Elitzur led the way into the mainstream, founded the group “Sesame Street,” released the album 101, and collaborated with prominent artists including Jordi, Nechi Nech, Ravid Plotnik, and others.

Today, upon his return to music, Elitzur has taken the scene by storm with his songs that cross sectoral boundaries: “God Always Loves Me,” “Tatte, Purify,” “Father, Have Mercy on Shai – To Run After You,” “Words of Truth,” and more—with tens of millions of views and plays on radio, streaming platforms, and social media.

Elitzur is one of the most intriguing and hard-hitting names on the scene today, with cross-sector appeal. He combines rapping and singing, recounting in his songs his past life alongside his present life as a ba’al teshuva and Breslover. Elitzur’s performances have become an extraordinary phenomenon that draws audiences from all sectors, with many quick sell-outs. He is considered a prominent star among all sectors and age groups.

Following a series of major performances at Pais Arena, Ashkelon Stadium, the International Convention Center in Jerusalem, and Reading 3 in Tel Aviv, Elitzur presents a special full-band show. The performance includes his songs from throughout his career, alongside “Words of Truth,” offering reflections from Elitzur’s perspective as an artist, a Breslover, and a ba’al teshuva.

Come to listen, come to rejoice, come to fill your heart.
