The story
Old songs for new lives.
Under the name RIGLI, since 2017 I have turned Jewish song into a living body of work online: more than 100 original songs, Yiddish and Hebrew classics reborn and new anthems of Jewish joy, made for YouTube and the platforms where people actually watch.
The songs traveled further than anyone expected. As of June 2026 the catalog has earned 7.7 million distribution streams and 4.5 million views on the RIGLI YouTube channel, across dozens of countries, from an audience that is overwhelmingly not Jewish. People who were never supposed to know these songs write back, again and again, to say they were moved to tears. I am a Member of The Dramatists Guild of America.
