Omer Gonen-Haela is an Israeli multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and ceremony leader with an experience of over 25 years traveling the world, performing, holding ceremonial spaces, and collaborating with many artists and teachers. His music is influenced by the diverse background of his musical studies and world travels. His songs are songs of prayer and depth, of love and connection, holding a vision of a human world based on respect, trust, and connection to all that is. Omer’s concerts are held as ceremonies, bringing forth the communal aspect and the power of intention and prayer when held together as a creative force shaping our reality.
“When people ask me about my work I like to say that I am ‘Ba’al Tfila’ (A man of prayer). This term, in the Jewish tradition, is given to a person who uses his creativity through prayer as a tool to connect people to their deep essence, to their guidance and to each other. I see prayer as the fundamental human expression. It is a language that eternally evolves and unfolds, and a way of bringing people together to feel, dream, sing, and share.”
“Every man and woman must know and understand that within them burns a candle, and their candle is not like anyone else’s, and there is no person without a candle. Every man and woman must also know and understand that they are tasked with striving to reveal the light of their candle to others, to kindle it into a great torch, and to illuminate the whole world.”
