Israel Service Organization Sends ONEG SHEMESH On Yishivot Hesder Tour.

Singer-songwriter Oneg Shemesh has always dreamed of performing for the IDF. When the opportunity arose to play for Yeshivot Hesder, (a five year Army/Yeshiva program) it was a dream come true.

Being the first to serve in the Israeli Army from the children on Moshav Modi’im in Israel where he grew up, he had the pleasure of serving side by side with these holy Hesder soldiers, in his words “I was amazed by their commitment to the country, the Torah, the land of Israel, and the IDF, I’m honored and humbled to play before these holy soldiers, and bring them a message from all of American Jewry,

Thank you for the amazing job that you are doing! You are true heroes. 

Following in the footsteps of Legendary singer Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, Oneg Shemesh‘s music transcends all levels of Judaism. His unique and folksy style inspired by Shlomo Carlebach, combines classic Jewish music and original melodious lyrics. “I traveled and performed with Shlomo, which was a real privilege" Oneg’s live performances and music continues to reach the Jewish people with a message of unity, “as we stand together, we will succeed!"

His name, Oneg, means joy. His new single out on youtube “Shine Forward" brings light forth from darkness. His one man show of singing and storytelling is a wonderfully unique and entertaining experience. Every time he takes the stage he brings us one step closer to the Holy heritage. Bring a little “Joy" into your next event and Shine Forward!
