New Passover Video from the Fountainheads



The Fountainheads latest video “Breakin’ Free” was released on YouTube on Monday, showcasing the spirited music/theater group’s take on the Passover holiday. The Ein Prat Fountainheads is a young Israeli musical ensemble formed around the Ein Prat Academy for Leadership, a pluralistic Beit Midrash located near Jerusalem. Incorporating elements of theater into original performances and video releases delivering up-beat, family friendly songs about Jewish themes, the Fountainheads have quickly grown in popularity and expect to make their next US tour in May. Their Rosh Hashana video from last year has garnered almost two million views on YouTube.
