Biography and career

Beri Weber grew up in a Pupa Hasidic family in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He began singing at the age 9 although his career did not start until the release of his first album in 2007. In later life he has moved away from Pupa and now identifies with Breslov.[1] As a Breslov he travels to Uman on Rosh Hashanah and performs, often in front of thousands of people.[2][3] In 2016 he released the album Aguda Achas which was generally well acclaimed by critics.[4][5] In 2017 he produced a music video of the song 'Rabi Shimon' from the album Aguda Achas in honor of Rabi Shimon bar Yochai and the festival of Lag B'Omer.[6][7] Later in the same year he released a single "Vtaher Libeiunu" in advance of the festivals of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.[8] Weber's 2018 single 'Kerestir' also went with the Kerestir Challenge, this called for people to film themselves performing a section of the tune. The challenge was described by Matzav as "going viral" among the Jewish community.[9][10]
