She wanted to become a singer, but couldn't | Riki Rose

Video Description

*This video includes live musical performances by Riki Rose. For the translation of the Yomtov Ehrlich song, turn on Closed Captions.* @riki_rose grew up in Hasidic Williamsburg, in a very conservative family. From when she was young, she had that star celebrity quality to her. But as a woman, her ability to fully express her talents was significantly limited by the religious laws on Kol Isha, which prohibits women from performing to male audiences. Still, Riki's life has been full of joys, good humor, and great moments to shine. In this long-form interview, I talk to Riki about her amazing life story. And as a wonderful bonus, we even hear her sing some songs! 💌Please support Riki in the production of her first album by contributing to her fundraising efforts: https://thechesedfund.com/rikirose/the-riki-rose-album ✅And check her out on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/riki_rose ✅You can find a bonus video of Riki's music as a Hasidic teenager here: https://youtu.be/1eBVPsFmZy4 👉The podcast version of this video is available here: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/we-hid-the-piano-from-my-hasidic-father-the-singer-riki-rose-shares-her-story--60242814 Timestamps for songs: 1.
