Draiman with his son
Disturbed, with Draiman singing the Israel anthem.
David Draiman is Jewish, was educated in Israel, studied in America.
The Light with David Draiman
Each is about 3 min. long, worth listening to at least part of it. This is a real departure from what I had heard before. His voice is hypnotic.
I met the Disturbed music quite by accident. It was my 10 yr. old gr-daughter who showed me the new cover of Sound of Silence played some selections that I really enjoyed.
Thing is that if I had not fallen in love with David Draiman and his powerful voice, I would never have gone to find his work, even listened to him. Happy accidents.
One of the guitarists brought his 9 yr old son, Justin Donegan's birthday. One time
Draiman introduced his pregnant wife with
her pregnant belly. He was so proud of his
family, and his love for them is awesome.
HERE: some about his training.
Draiman was trained to be a cantor, given the voice. "As a child I had trained as a cantor, who leads the Jewish congregation
in prayer, so I’d had quite a bit of vocal training. And that’s still
with me to this day."
Daiman
considered studying Law or becoming a rabbi. He felt his interest in
becoming a rabbi was discarded. He studied law, planning to become a
lawyer, but his voice and talent were not in a law book.
Before
David Draiman became famous as the singer of the heavy metal band
Disturbed, he trained to be a cantor. That didn’t go so well. Growing up
in Chicago, he was expelled from
three different yeshivas, and after a rowdy night of Purim drinking as a
teenager, he blew up his high school rabbi’s van.
I know that Disturbed is a rock band of some fame, which I am just discovering.
Just really enjoyed listening to his voice and songs. The musicians are incredibly
talented
His voice fills the stadium.
There you have it. I have fallen in love Disturbed and David Draiman.

Watching the war in Israel and Palestine, how can we not
be horrified
History teaches so much. Sadly the younger university
students seem to be skewed. Lack of understanding history will
doom generations whose minds reach only so far.
Pray for the Israel. Pray for its people.
