I am blessed to welcome another polished gem from the ever-increasingly-anointed Jonathan Settel. “Kol Ba’Midbar” is actually a breath of fresh air in the expression of praise and worship to Messiah Yeshua. Jonathan continues to masterfully make use of one of the most powerful and colorful baritone voices ever to be heard. In this release, you will hear Jonathan cut through with the depths of his heart, as he pours his all into every note that rings from him.

In his usual standard of excellence, Yochanan Ben Yehuda, director of Provident Music Group’s Galilee of the Nations label, has hit the mark with the production of “Kol Ba’Midbar”. This release is a must for your Messianic music collection.

You will be worshipping Yeshua when you hear the first song sample, “Out of the Depths”, written by talented Mathew Casey. This Psalm-based song will give you holy goose bumps as you lift you hands in adoration of the Lord. Jonathan’s powerful voice commands the very emotion of this beautiful song.

Ironically, I chose the second of three songs featured on this release written by Mathew Casey, entitled “When The Lord Returns To Zion”.

Jonathan confidently proclaims this jubilantly triumphant song of praise due to Yeshua. This wonderfully arranged song will surely become one of your favorites.

T’Fila, a superbly joyful song written by David Loden, is the third of song samples from this packed release of powerful choruses of Praise and worship to Ha Shem. Jonathan Settel puts the masterful finishing touches on this ageless adaptation, inspired by the traditional Hebrew Siddur, (book of prayers).

In summation, this release should be heard around the world. My wife Shirley and I give two shofars up.

Jonathan, husband of Sharon Settel, father of six children; was born in Berlin, Germany and grew up in a traditional Jewish family in Washington, D.C. He studied music at the Inter American University of San German, Puerto Rico. For twenty years he was a vocalist in nightclubs, hotels, bars and cruise ships in the United States. In February of 1984, while employed by Walt Disney World, Jonathan had an "Encounter with Eternity". He became a Believer in Yeshua Ha Mashiach. (Jesus, the Messiah).

He was discipled for six years in a small church in Florida and was one of their worship leaders for their Erev Shabbat Service. In 1990, Jonathan responded to The Lord's call to make "Aliyah" (returned to his homeland, Israel), and moved his family to Jerusalem where he came to love and identify completely with the Israeli culture--and was fired up to "bring the Word forth from Zion". After a tremendous growth in Ministry, in June of 1996, he and his family then returned to the U.S. to fulfill the next part of God's plan for them.

After living in Israel for six years, one of their greatest desires is to lead groups to the Chosen Nation of Israel on an annual basis; to have people experience the Land through Jewish Eyes..........Through Yeshua's Eyes!

Jonathan's travels have taken him to many countries as well as a variety of Christian and Messianic Congregations. The passion of this ministry is to see the Body of Messiah unite and in so doing expose Anti-Semitism within the Church. Many have wept in repentance upon altar calls, releasing the Genesis 12:3 blessing.
