This new debut album, entitled Pi Shnayim, is performed by a group named Pi Shnayim led by Sholom Jacobs and Aryeh Perlman and features 11 songs composed by Yossi Green, Eli and Moshe Laufer, and Avraham Zamist.

You can hear a full song entitled "Kirachaim Av" on Episode #2 of the Sameach Podcast.

As soon as this album is in stores, we will update you.

We have 2 brand new songs to debut from albums that have not yet been released in stores.

The first new song were debuting is performed by a group named Pi Shnayim led by Sholom Jacobs and Aryeh Perlman. The album features 11 songs composed by Yossi Green, Eli and Moshe Laufer, and Avraham Zamist.

The second new song we're debuting is from a new album called Jerusalem Stone. Tune into the show to hear more on that. Plus, we have songs from Eitan Katz, Matisyahu and 8th Day.

We are also very excited to introduce a new segment called Yodo's Top 5 Requested Songs - an amazing new segment put together by the DJ we all love, Yosef Dov.

Sruly Meyer: Alright, let's get to the basics before anything else. Where do you call home?
Eitan Katz: I live in Silver Spring, MD, I'm in Kollel there at the Yeshiva of Greater Washington, and I've been happily
married for a year. This is my fourth year in the yeshiva though.
SM: Which Silver Spring pizza shop is better, The Nut House or Ben Yehuda's :-)
EK: HaHa... If I say nuthouse has better pizza, they [Ben Yehuda's] might not let me in to the shop anymore... (But nuthouse is better...)
SM: That's a good answer.

SM: What or who has influenced your writing and singing style?
EK: First off, my father has always been a strong influence on me. He's always pushed me to go the distance when it came to music. My older brother Shlomo, with whom I released the CD "Biglal Avos", also had a great influence on me. As far as other music, I would say that the Erlechkeit of D'veikus and R' Shlomo Carlebach turned me onto writing and singing songs which made me closer to Hashem
EK: I am also a big fan of R' Shmuel Brazil's Nigunim.

SM: Ok, What Jewish Music are you listening to today?
EK: I very much enjoy the oldies which I mentioned before, I also like listening to Yaakov Shwekey, and I think he has a magnificent voice.
EK: Ironically, I spend most of the day in yeshiva, so I don't have too much time to listen to music.

SM: Avraham Fried of MBD? ... And you can choose not to answer :-)
EK: They are both great, I enjoy their music very much, and they are also both wonderful people.
SM: Another smart answer :-)

SM: What Nigunim do you listen to outside of today's Jewish Music?
EK: I listen to any Nigunim which make me more in tuned with my Avodas Hashem. A lot of Chabad and other Chasidishe Nigunim really hit the spot. My brother Shlomo also has some really nice Nigunim which I enjoy listening to.

SM: What's your favorite song on your new CD L'maancha?
EK: That's a tough call. Every song talks to me in a different way. The main theme of the CD is its title - L'maancha- everything we do is for Hakadosh Baruch Hu! I don't think I have a favorite song, we'll leave that question for the listeners.
SM: I just wanted to mention that I think the title track - L'maancha has a really great feel to it, my wife who doesn't really enjoy slow songs, has really fallen in love with this one.
EK: Thank you...I think the CD is unique because the composer is the singer, and you can really hear what the composer feels through the way he sings it

SM: That brings me to my next question. What's different about this album than your first two? (Aside that your brother, Shlomo, sang on those also)
EK: Well first of all, like you said, I am the only one featured on this album, I composed the music and did the all the arrangements on my own, my brother and I have a little bit of a different style as well. I can't really describe it (his music is really beautiful)

SM: On Track #1 (Mizmor Shir) towards the end of the song, who is playing that wonderful Guitar solo?
EK: Oh, that is Josh Young, he is a guitarist from LA (now lives in NY), my brother and i recorded our CD by him, he was also in our band back in the day, he is absolutely incredible.

SM: On Friday you mentioned something about a local Choir, what's that all about? Are we going to see The Silver Spring Boys Choir anytime soon?
EK: I run a boys choir here in Silver Spring, the boys are from the local elementary school here, the Torah School, it's a lot of fun, and they are really cute.
SM: That's really nice, and I know someone who was in that choir, so I know that those boy's do enjoy it.

SM: Well, Eitan, that's all I have for you, thanks for your time, would you like to add anything else?
EK: I just want to say that I really feel that my CD's success won't be evaluated based on the amount of CD's sold, but rather on the influence it will iy"h have on the listeners. If one person says a brocha with a little more kavanah after hearing the CD, my mission is accomplished...

EK: Thank you, this was a lot of fun.
SM: Yes it was, again, thank you for your time. Hatalacha on the album and have a great day.
