(VINnews) — In a rare television appearance, Ishay Ribo, the superstar Israeli singer opened up about his personal struggle to balance Torah study and mitzvah observance with the demands of his music career.

“I have temptations and trials – these are exactly the things I sing about,” Ribo said in an interview on Israel’s Kan 11.
“Sometimes you can be a great messenger but still be fake with yourself – and I refuse to accept that,” Ribo said.
Ribo opened up about his personal battles: “I strive to fulfill commandments and maintain my connection to Torah study. But like anyone else, I have my ups and downs, temptations and trials. Ultimately, these struggles are what I pour into my music.”
Despite his massive success, Ribo maintains a modest lifestyle while raising his family, and has a deep commitment to frum values.
I would love for Ishay Ribo to make his Elul concert with separate seating so more people can join.
Ishay Ribo is a class act, good guy, makes a real Kiddush Hashem!
