28 year old Choni Goldman of Johannesburg, South Africa, is passionate about music. Having been a member of his local synagogue choir as a child, and serving as choirmaster in Pretoria for the last three years, he now feels he can accomplish more.
“It’s time I focus on composing and performing a lot more,” he says.
“I think I can contribute a lot – and a new style – to the world of Jewish music.”
Goldman composed his Jewish Star audition song “Ahavti” especially for the contest.
“The first part of the song is about what Dovid Hamelech said, ‘I love it when G-d listens to my voice and He turns His ear towards me.’
“The second part says, ‘Even though he (Moshiach) tarries, I nevertheless will patiently await his coming, and not give up because I still believe with perfect faith that he will come any day.'”
