Mordechai Ben David Biography

Mordechai Ben David is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on April 16, 1951 in Brooklyn, New York, United States. MBD’s 1985 songs “Hold on” and “Let My People go” focused on the Soviet Iron Curtain’s Jewish refusenik situation. While “Hold on” conveys hope, “Let My People Go”, specifically calls for “support” and “pressure” to liberate Anatoly Natan Sharansky from Soviet captivity.

1994’s “Yerushalayim We Will Never Leave You”, recorded in Hebrew and English, protested the intent of dividing Jerusalem under the Oslo I Accord.

MBD released a single track in 1996, named “Chevron Always And Forever” (heb. חברון מאז ולתמיד), protesting proposed Israeli concessions over Hebron under the Oslo II Interim Agreement.

MBD’s style has inspired many Jewish singers over decades. These include Avraham Fried and Lipa Schmeltzer as well as younger stars such as Benny Friedman and Simcha Leiner as Levy Falkowitz, Shmueli ungar, and Benny Friedman. Mordechai, along with Sheya Mendlowitz, produced the first solo recording album by Avraham Fried. It featured songs by Yossi green and the Zimriah Orchestra (arranged by Marty Lewinter). Sheya also assisted in the production of Mordechai Ben David Live (his first album live) and Memories (written in memory of Mordechai and featuring songs by Yerachmiel Begun, of Toronto and Miami Boys Choir fame). Sheya and Mordechai produced a number of hits together over the next few years. These included “Mostly Horas”, his album “MBD & Friends”, “Mordechai Ben David Live” (1987), “Memories” (written in memory of Mordechai’s mother) (1987), “Yisroel Lam & The Philharmonic experience” (1988) and “25 Years of Jewish Music” (1988). Sheya also produced Mordechai’s “Simen Tov -Keitzad”, which was one of the first “single” releases of Jewish music (1989), and “The Double Album (1990).

Esther, his wife, is the sister and daughter of hazzanim. His brother-in law is Cantor Ari Klein who has recorded several albums. His cousin Shmilu Rosenberg, from Canada, released two albums in the 1980s: a comeback and an appearance on an album of all-stars in the 1990s.

In 1986 MBD’s quasi-rock beat “Jerusalem Is Not For Sale” spearheaded the Haredi opposition to Mormon missionary practice in Jerusalem. The lyrics read “You better run for your life, back to Utah overnight, before the mountain top opens wide to swallow you inside.” as well as “The wars, the pain, brought masses returning, back to their roots more than ever. The leftists fiercely fighting truth, dampening the sparks still burning. So wake up my friend, this is the very end, the arrows are pointing our way!”
