You Don’t Have to Go to Space | EKEV on Music, Wonder, Big Dreams and Finding Hashem Right Here

What happens when Morah Tziri hears EKEV singing, “I don’t need to go to space,” and decides she simply does not believe him?

She calls him to find out.

In this funny, thoughtful, and completely unexpected conversation, EKEV, also known as Gavriel, admits that he would absolutely love to travel to space and even dreams about the music he might create there.

But the conversation quickly becomes about much more than astronauts and moon rocks.

Morah Tziri and EKEV talk about where creativity comes from, what it feels like to create music for other artists, the songs people carry through difficult moments, imposter syndrome, curiosity, wonder, and learning to embrace the unique mission Hashem gives each of us.

They also discover that the word “space” has followed them through the entire conversation: outer space, creative space, space to wonder, and the emotional space kids sometimes need to breathe, process, and feel what they are feeling.

You do not have to travel anywhere to find Hashem. He is with you exactly where you are.

And sometimes, all you need is a little space.
