Jewish music superstar Mordechai Ben David Werdyger has long had plans to move to the Holy land. Now, with a new album out this week, he’s making good on that dream.
“Baruch Hashem, we have purchased a house in Jerusalem,” he reports in a video trailer for the album “Kisufim” (yearning), distributed by Aderet Music.
“It’s something I have been wanting to do for many years,” he said, confirming a fact known to music insiders. MBD has long expressed his wish to make aliya from his home in the gated community of Sea Gate, right off Coney Island, Brooklyn.
“I hope to spend the rest of my life – until 120 – learning Torah and doing Mitzvos,” he said.
“I am planning (for) this to be the final retiring album – if you want to call it – and I have no plans on future albums.”
He did not give a date for the move, or whether he was also retiring from concerts.
In the video trailer, he explains his decision to dedicate his 37th solo album to authentic Chassidic music, as Shraga Gold of The Shira Choir told COLlive.com in an interview about their collaboration.

SO AMAZING!!!!!!!! MBD
you could still change your mind. : )
zay misaameach yiddin ad bias goel etc..
Just wanted to remind you all that hashem is the king
MBD is retiring ONLY from albums ,not from singing,He is going to keep singing,even in the BM
We’re talking about THE king of Jewish music: Why do you have to put him down like that. . . such intense critiscism???
Mayeb its worth thinking now and then, before throwing such sharp barbs at people, and especially such people as MBD, who was and is a follower of the Rebbe for years n years, as his new album shows once again . . . a bit of restraint and respect would go a long way
MBD never fails to inspire me!! i love love his music!
kol hakavod!
…to see him there! And he is not stopping to sing, only to make albums, but, who knows?!
He will always be the king 🙂
Baruch Hashem hes going to do something amazing!
segate
Were did He leave before
mbd would always make me in such a good mood when i would listen to his songs. there just so uplifting and sincere, its hard not to like and enjoy his talent. kol hakavod and good luck! may we all meet you there very soon with moshiach! amen
The color of his voice is so soulful, I cry the minute he comes on.
hes just stopping to make albums. hes not stopping to sing
after hearing his latest album its no wounder he can’t generate CD sales.
🙁 so sad. MBD we will dearly miss you
The rebbe told him to make people happy his entire life!!! The rebbi told him to sing and not stop!!!! A bit confused…
wow i love this video. and more then that MBD himself.
One way to improve sales like those closing down sales? They never seem to close!,
The Alter Rebbe said that music is the pen of the soul , not the heart.
MBD is the best Jewish Chassidic Singer, I wish him well, we hope he will continue to sing at concerts.
love the hartz!!!
Never dreamt this day would come…………….
mashiach hinei hu ba!
sad…..
good luck your a great person
