Nefesh Mountain

On October 7th Israel was hit with the deadliest terror attack in its short history . By now the events of that day and the subsequent war between Israel and Hamas the current leadership of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip has been well documented. On October 11th just days after the attack Americana band Nefesh Mountain released a re-worked version of their song The Narrow Bridge which references the teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, which were also being illuminated by many Israel’s and Jews subsequent to the attack. The Narrow Bridge is just one of 7 tunes on the band’s forthcoming release, The Cabin Sessions EP. We had the great pleasure of talking with husband and wife duo Eric Lindberg and Doni Zasloff to learn more about Nefesh Mountain, the Cabin Sessions and more. First song: The Narrow Bridge Second song: RevivalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
