http://JewMorals.com Yitzchok Meir (24), originally from New York, currently lives in the Old City of Jerusalem and works as a Jewish educator and musician. Yitzchok Meir began his dream when he moved to Israel alone aged just 17 and immediately began playing music and sharing his personal message on the streets of jerusalem. He received much interest from the public and soon found himself working for an organization called Todah L'Tzahal (thankyou to the army). He began performing and speaking to units in the Israeli army on a regular weekly basis about the lack of peace and respect between different groups and sects of Jews. (See links below!). The soldiers eyes widen as Yitzchok Meir introduces himself as "ultra-orthodox, orthodox, modern-orthodox, conservadox, conservative, reform, reconstructionist and secular!" He ridicules the separations we put up between each other, reminding us that we are all but one family. "It doesn't matter which unit you're in, you're still part of the same army. So too, it doesn't matter which sect you're in, you're still part of the same family." Having now spoken and performed to over 21,000 soldiers ranking from coffee makers to high Generals, Yitzchok Meir inspires and motivates these young soldiers and officers. As well as this, Yitzchok Meir has performed for many different youth groups and jewish organizations world wide. These include Taglit-Birthright, Aish, JAM, JEC, Todah L'Tzahal, RAJE and various Jewish schools. Yitzchok Meir is passionate about spreading his message and takes every opportunity to do so - stopping people on the streets to talk to them, organizing events and shabbos meals at his house in the old city, performing in bars, at coffee shops, at concerts, speaking to various organizations, on radio-shows as well as writing and performing his own pop music to spread his message of peace between Jews.
