Already four years, the leader of the Machete and Tokyo groups did not see the daughter, who was born in marriage with the actress Natalia Simakova. The couple broke up in 2013, and then the singer promised that neither his wife nor the baby Michel would not need anything in the money or in his father. But the word did not restrain. Only recently, Natasha managed to literally knock out from 44-year-old Yaroslav alimony for the maintenance of the child - the small family had to list the entire amount accumulated over the years - several million rubles.

"The last time Yaroslav met Michel, when that was one year old," Simakov says "Starkit". - It is very upsetting me, I can not understand why he does it. I would be happy if the dad would take part in the child's life. The girl is needed, feeling. In every way I appeal, I appeal to Him. "

From Natalia, Small went to another woman - Rahhel Ora, who at that time raised four children from previous relations. Yaroslav, throwing his chest daughter, took her heirs as relatives.

"I have tried to find a job for a long time, I will get used to get a child alone," Simakova continues. - It was a lesson. Even imagine could not have such a turn. Yaroslav with Yaroslav were always uniform, looked in one direction. He dedicted to me songs. But when the daughter was born, the spouse suddenly suggested to live separately - they say, we are a little tired of each other ... after some time I learned that he was in a relationship. And his heart lady was sure that he was doing correctly. I tried to talk to her, explained that we have a child, family, do not need it. But everyone pretended that I was not and never had. We divorced, financially Yaroslav did not help me nor daughter. He lived in different countries - to a greater extent in Ukraine, hid, did not want to pay alimony, although the money was. What just did not do to achieve at least some result! "

"He was looking for bailiffs, my friends, I sent telegrams, called a common acquaintance, his current woman. For a long time, the ex-spouse did not come to Russia, because it was listed in all services as a malicious non-payer, he would not be released from the country without paying debts. As a result, with the help of people who have an impact on him, everything finally happened. It helped save the house, which in my mortgage.

Favorite women

Yaroslav Small with his wife Natalia Simakova

For the first time fell in love in first grade. Her name was Natasha. He wrote a song and came home to her to pass about his love. But the girls were not at home: parents took her to the country. Yaroslav walked to Natasha on a whole day and dreamed, as a song will do it ... And when after 6 o'clock it came out, then there was no strength. He sat on the bench and ... fell asleep. I woke up because it kissed him on the cheek ... the dog beloved.

At 17, Yaroslav moved from his native Krivoy Rog to Moscow, where he was engaged in the opening and promotion of clubs. During this period, women in his life were a lot. "I was looking for meaning in love, then to one girl, then to the other, but was constantly climbed," the singer remembers. But once He went to the studio, where he was recorded, and i saw a girl who was shod in exactly the same red sneakers like him. It was an actress and singer Natalia Simakova. At the wedding ceremony, Yaroslav and Natalia exchanged rings ... under the sounds of the composition of the Metallic Group "Nothing Else Matters". The pair plans were a long and happy life in love and harmony, at least six children, but in February 2013, after eight years of marriage, the pair was submitted for divorce. My daughter Michelle, which at that time was several months from the family, remained to live with mom. Yaroslav promised that Natalia and Baby did not need anything.

Yaroslav Small and his love Olga

In March of the same year, the MuS-TV Gala dinner appeared with a mysterious blonde. "This is my love", - he presented a girl. After some time, it turned out and the name of the new love - Olga. They met on the plane when they flew together from Miami. Gradually, the relationship from friendly turned into closest. Now Olga - executive director of the Machete Records project.

In total, Yaroslav has eight children who, according to him, live in different countries - from Switzerland to Ukraine. The names of children are filled with meaning and are associated with the Most High.

Five unexpected facts from life

Yaroslav Small

• The music school came to the music school because I wanted to walk the lessons. The teacher led to the entrance examinations of Yaroslav from a football field, in sports and broken knees. Parents bought the son of the piano, but the boy had to play at the balalaica first. By the way, in the music school, from which he was expelled from the third course "For Everything", he studied at the Conductor Faculty.

• In December 2010, he took a clip for the song "Hope Icebreet" on the island of Vaigach, which is on the border of the Barents and Kara Seas. It was shocked in what poverty there are people there, and in children instead of toys - candy candy. To help the inhabitants of the island, organized auction in Moscow, where he sold photos of the group made on the island. The money bought clothes, dishes and toys. The delivery process of gifts was removed on the video and laid out on Youtube.

• Once on the eve of the New Year, the Yaroslav Group of Small Machete performed in ... Metro, in the transition between the Stations "Theater" and "Okhotny Ryad". One of the musicians played Maracas, and a tambourine lay next to him. People passed and threw money into a tambourine. In a few minutes, the musicians earned 600 rubles.

Leading Chart # Selection at Jam FM Alexander Stasov talked to Yaroslav about his plans and projects, about life priorities and about the attitude towards the events that cannot be influenced.

"Is this true that in 2016 Yaroslav smallly disappear with Melomanian radars?"

Yes, we go on a big vacation for a year almost. At this gap, we will not give concerts. Only selectively, point and very little. Because we will be engaged in creating Havakkuk, record and, in general, now focus only on it.

- After moving from Moscow to Kiev, a recovery lifestyle started?

I do not sit in a vacuum, nor in emptiness. From the moment we supported Ukraine and moved to Kiev, we gave concerts of the Machete group, also very selectively, there were several of them. And mostly we were engaged in our new project called Havakkuk. We worked in Europe and in

Israel over this music, and now continue. In general, we were concentrated on this project. We do not lead the recovery lifestyle, we simply decided that I would not hang out anywhere and do not take time just so that somewhere to light up. Not interested. Each of us has their own debt. I, like a musician and poet, there is a debt to express my thoughts, feeling about what is happening in my life - in my songs, so I spend on this a huge amount of time. I have a favorite family, and I am with great zeal dedicate time to the family than to find in the companies that I am not interested.

- What is the fate of the album war and the world of the Machete group? His release was announced back to autumn 2015 ?

We plan to start dosing this album. We partially write it in Ukraine, because it happened that somewhere in the area of \u200b\u200bthree or four months ago we finished work on EP. A few more tracks that we have again will add to Ukraine, maybe in Israel or partially in Belgium, let's see. I think the bulk of this work will be recorded in Ukraine.

- You can explain the differences in Tokyo projects, machete and Havakkuk for those who do not discover them.

First of all, if we talk about the projects of Tokyo, Machete and Havakkuk, then, probably, you can trace the personal or spiritual growth of a person who writes these songs. I'm talking about myself. I can say that if we are talking about the spiritual component of all these three projects, then, of course, this is love, various expressions, manifestations in this world. As for how we distinguish your track in which album and which group gets, we are talking about the musical component. Havakkuk is a completely different music, symphonic musicians, brilliant musicians, world stars, are taking part in the project, so music is a qualitatively different. This is Lyric

On the relationship between people, between a person and the Most High, that a person should do in this world, being such a short period of time here, to which we can influence what we can change that in our power, and what is not.

If talking about Tokyo is still more electronic component. This is a lyrics, the relationship between a man and a woman, love and all kinds of manifestations in this Ipostasi.

If we talk about machete - practically live music, with social orientation in songs.

- Over the past two years, Yaroslav Small has changed outwardly. Fans in the social networks complain that they immediately and not recognize the "blue-eyed rebel".

First, I have never been blue-eyed, and secondly I have never been a rebel. Maybe it was not me.

I was not a rebel. I have always been looking for some way out of those questions that all my life are in me. Those answers that I received from people even respected, did not always suit me. Therefore, I always sought my way. And it can be clearly traced in my songs. As for: I learned, I did not recognize me, - people change. The inner world corresponds to external. Therefore, I am now engaged in the Torah, I teach Hebrew, I dedicate my time not fashion and not care for myself, and things are thinner and more beautiful for me. Therefore, I think it looks still cool.

- The decision to go to the Maidan in the fall of 2013 was difficult?

I just thought I had to support my homeland and that's it. Otherwise, I could not do. We, with my wife Rachel, flew from Israel, learned about the events that occur in Ukraine and flew to Moscow, gathered guys and immediately the next flight flew into Kiev. They called our acquaintances, they gave us the opportunity to normal, calmly land and go to the Maidan. And we gave there a concert.

- Almost three years later, there is no disappointment in Euromaidan?

I now understand that what is happening now is not to fix it, nor the desire to follow the information space, nor the desire to change something. This can be corrected only by contacting the Almighty. Because where Ukraine is moving now compared to where she could move at the beginning of all these events are two different routes, in my opinion. It should be understood that we are now in such circumstances when europe, nor America, nor other countries do not help us. Or a desire to look more powerful, militant - it's not real. And the only thing that can help us is to appeal to the Almighty, with a real request that he helped us.

You know, your favorite children are always punished. If it moves not in the direction in which it is necessary, then it is simply sometimes possible to get on the ass. The same now happens with Ukraine. We are more specifically received on your head, on ass, in all other places. It is necessary to understand as soon as we finish the desire to simply take these blows, and the desire will actually think for what reasons it happened, you need to turn to God to God, apologize for

what we did something wrong and ask for help. Then everything will be type-top. It's like in a person's life, this is a mini society, like a family, just as a country - if something happens, then you need to find out spiritual reasons first. I am confident that physics of manifestation of some circumstances, like branches, and the root in the other is located. You need to think, understand what is done not so that you need to fix, in which direction you need to move. You need to look at the sky more often, not under my feet. And think about what was really done by us wrong, my opinion is. There is no other way out, because some people change, others - the situation is only worsening. Everyone is sharpened to disrupt financial preferences for themselves, for their clans and move on in this direction. And no one is interested in the country moved and go ahead.

- Being one of the leaders of opinions, because you can broadcast your ideas and influence the situation?

We broadcast. Just our influence is not in the field of physical world. It is impossible to do anything here, if you do not pay attention to the spiritual component, I'm 100% sure of this, we are talking about it in our songs.

- Changes for the better are possible if they first start with themselves?

I dream that people, this world and all that happens to us, thanks to some simple things changed for the better. And this is actually really simple things. We all spend something for yourself, trying to find some excuses, for some small things to distract attention from serious, big problems that are actually solved very simply. And now my desire, my dream is a simple understanding of complex things to be inside, each of us so that we understand that you are not just here here, not in order to eat pasta or see the program some or Write a comments in social networks, and we are here in order to change this world to the better. In order to find our daddy in this world, which loves us very much. It is very simple. Without taking into account this - it is impossible to change anything. I am sure about that. Here is my dream - so that people understand. And I understand that each of us has a duty in this life and can only do something, but it will not work out - the case of the Most High. Here is my opinion such that everyone should do something in the direction of this. Everything else - Fuffer.

- From what during the war on the face of Yaroslav Smile, a smile arises?

I smile on such a serious task on such a frivolous person. I am in terms of the fact that I always perceived this world somehow easily. And I was just lucky because my wife always supported me too. And as soon as we start seriously treating some things - we have a huge number of problems. As soon as we think that something depends on us, we immediately fall into some circumstances, of which we can easily choose. Easy to eat in each of us. Why sometimes you look at the child, on his reaction and kaifuch from how simple for him the most complex things in two-three words express and everyone turns into a huge smile, everyone who sees it. We lack this. And there is a huge humor of the Most High, who every one of us gives the feeling that he can change something and at the same time - the feeling of who we are without him at all.

- In improving yourself there are progress?

In my work on yourself I have not succeeded. Only in what I found a wife, which helps me to work on yourself.

Yaroslav Small was born in 1973 in Krivoy Rog (Ukraine). In childhood, he was little different from his peers - also chased football, strolled lessons and participated in various boy disassembly. Before entering the school, an extraordinary musical ability was discovered in the boy, so parents insisted on additional training in a music school.

Biography

Although he reluctantly studied a note literacy, ran from exams and concerts, teachers could not not not be noted that a brilliant musician grows in it. His first music teacher Igor Semenovich Beeras Musician recalls with warmth. In the music school he first had to learn from the balalaica, then on the piano.

After graduation at school, Yaroslav Small decides to continue the musical education, so it goes into the nubility in Kiev to the Conductor Faculty. But studying him did not bring joy and inspiration. He was more interested in the free life of students, visiting nightclubs and the use of narcotic drugs. Due to the large number of students of the student, albeit a talented and giving high hopes, is expelled from the school on the third year of study. In order not to return to the native Krivoy Rog, Yaroslav plans to go to Moscow. Seventeen-year-old young man alone goes to conquer a huge city. It was a difficult 1991 year, but the musician decided that the economic situation in the country could not affect his plans.

In Moscow, he occasionally writes music, visits nightclubs, meets people associated with music in the style of rock. Soon they are interested in clubs and agencies, allowing him to speak to the public. According to Yaroslav Small, his work at that time did not bring him pleasure, so he is organizing nightclubs and entertainment centers. He speaks reluctantly about this decade in his life, because during this period he begins to take drugs. A real coup in the life of the musician was his acquaintance with Gauche Kutsenko. The actor managed to get money for the organization and promotion of the Tokio group. In 2002, the group first declared himself, performing at the festival. Two years later, the musicians released their debut album. After this event, the soloist of the group began problems with prohibited drugs. But after prolonged treatment and rehabilitation, Yaroslav returned to her old life.

A musician soloits in two groups of various oriented (rock and rock, mixed with a pop direction). Each small project is successful and happily perceived by fans of his creativity.

In 2014, Yaroslav Small radically changes his life and moves to Kiev. Events in Ukraine have made a strong impression on him. He actively participates in mass rallies, acts at concerts and calls for a peaceful settlement of the conflict. In Kiev, the musician participates in various show programs, is a teacher for new young musicians. In the filming of their clips often acts as a screenwriter and director. He experiments, creates new projects and is a defender of the Jewish community in Ukraine.

Personal life

Yaroslav Small - a lovely person, not tolerant restrictions and frames. During the conquest of Moscow in the life of the young man there were many girls. He was looking for mutual understanding, support and confidence in his feelings. With his first wife, he met in recording studio. Once a girl came to the studio who wore the same shoes as a musician. This attracted the attention of Yaroslav, and he immediately met her. The girl was called Natalia Simakova, she was an actress, playing the cinema and theater. The couple married, they had a daughter Michel. But after eight years of living together, the couple went away. The musician devoted the best songs to his first wife.

Very soon, Yaroslav appeared in public next to the new Beloved named Olga. They met on the plane during the flight. Yaroslav argues that he understood that this woman would become his real love. He often appears with her in public, gives an interview and tells about his relationship. His beloved is engaged in organizing concerts, as well as other issues regarding the work of groups in Ukraine and the United States.

Yaroslav, as well as other creative people, alien conventions. If love leaves a person's life, then the need for new feelings appears. Now the musician has eight children from different women, he carefully refers to each of them. Small does not shy away from liability, often takes them on their trips to other countries. Occasionally, photographers manage to capture a happy dad with their children.

The musician plans to continue working on his work in Ukraine and in the United States. Yaroslav sees his future surrounded by children in a house somewhere in Israel.

Recently, the well-known Moscow group "Tokio" came to visit, headed by his leader and soloist I. Mal. However, why small, when in it two meters of growth? .. And why is the visit, when the Small himself, almost every Monday and Thursday, will visit the Motherland of the ancestors. Rather, not to visit, but as to himself at the cottage ...

And why, how about the cottage? ..- picks up the Krivoy Rog Jew named Yaroslav. - How To Home! Actually, even, not like home, but just - home!

- What do you perceive here, how is the most "home"?

This ancient land and my proud people walking along it with a highly raised head. What can be more beautiful - wander somewhere, and then turn out to be here, on my land!

- Is there a favorite place?..

Of course, Jerushalaim! This city will dream of me at night when I'm away from him. I can not even convey those feelings that give rise to the spirit of St. Jerusalem in my soul.

He read the household Rider of the Tokio Group, published on your official website, and felt that it could be removed by the stylish program for the TV channel "Beautiful Life". I especially liked it - the mandatory temples with ice in the grimer ...

These guys have tried! So it is necessary. If we talk about me, I can do and do it - I personally do not use alcohol in general. And the team partners - maybe they are so accustomed to, skip the boar in the evening for inspiration and tone. When traveling a lot with tours, fly from place to place, always hunting to feel like at home. A simple human aspiration that was reflected in the Tokio Rider. Nothing special!..

You somehow said that in the younger years I loved to spend in a good restaurant and disappear from there, not only without saying goodbye, but without paying ...

In his youth, it happened, this was excited ... now and remember scary! And, on the other hand, who has lived this time for his life without sin? You might think that you are fifteen-twenty years ago not Shalil ...

I'll tell you more - I'm a chalet to this day! But wash off from "Kabaka", in English ... This is fraught with ... not ashamed now?

Not ashamed! Because I was always returned myself and returned the money for lunch and dinner.

- By the way, it sounds, and as a hint of producers ...

We, fortunately, no producers! We ourselves are responsible for themselves, and in the organizational sense, and in creative. We write songs about how we live and create music as we feel. This is limitless happiness, if anyone knows, - to do in the work of your soul.

Since soon, our conversation involuntarily concentrated around the topic of creativity and money, - Why do Russian "stars", in contrast, say, from Western, have a rather modestly behave in the field of charity?

What do you mean?

All, ranging from the help of the poor and disadvantaged and ending with the adoption of HIV-infected children from Ethiopia and Cambodia.

It is difficult for me to speak, I didn't dive in this story deeply. Imagine only - take someone else's child in your house. To this, you still need to be able to come true ... In charity, the most important thing is to clearly understand for whom and what you do certain things for whom, and not just participate in various promotions, which is called "for a tick". A colossal level of responsibility is needed, for the same adoption, we simply, not all matured for this.

The musicians of your group are such invariabies, I will not even be afraid of the words "epic" names: Demyan, Yaroslav ... Even somehow strange that you are called "Tokio", and not, for example, Yaroslavl ...

My Jewish name - Moshe Pinhas! ..

Yes, I saw such titers on a video clip with your interviews posted on one of the largest Israeli news Internet portals YNET. I thought you were throwing over the local aborigines.

Not! ( laugh!) I - Moshe Pinhas, Demyan is David, and Roma - Rouvim!

"Okay, then certainly a group should not be called" Yaroslavl ", but rather" Jerushalim ", or, better," Kfar-Khabad ".

Under the name "Tokio" we do not mean the Japanese capital. "Tokio" is currents, flow of charge particles, inexhaustible energy. The whole point is a move forward!

- Is it true that you are seriously engaged in learning the Torah?

Absolute truth.

- Did you manage to know something new for yourself?

You will not be surprised if I tell you that this is a very serious book? Every time I open it, I manage to learn something new. Vosnyy gave us this book by putting unlimited love in her pages. Read the smallest, and everything surrounds is completely different. I have a spiritual teacher - Vladimir Iosifovich Slucker, who helps me comprehend the wisdom of our world through the awareness of the deep wisdom of the Torah.

It is said that you want to share yourself between music and cinema, remove the picture about the adventures of thoughts in the head in humans. Imagine that the team "Motor!" Sounded now, and the camera rushed into pursuit of thoughts in your mind. What do you think now?

About happiness! I'm simply filled with happy thoughts, ideas and reasoning. The fact that I will soon go on the stage and I will be together with hundreds and thousands of my favorite viewers. And about the fact that somewhere closely is my Jerushalim.

Yaroslav Small: "If I have a concert in Shabbat, then I do not get money for him

Yarik Small - the founder and leader of the Tokyo group one of the most popular domestic rockers in 2006. But he became famous not only by soundtracks to the "ninth company". Small - the organizer of the rally in support of Israel. "The second album of the group has just entered the light, it is called" plus two hundred ". On January 13, we had a concert in London on Trafalgar Square on the occasion of the old New Year, the British for some reason call him a Russian New Year, "says Yarik. "Soon we are going to go to a big concert tour of Russia and Europe. I am writing music to the new film Fedor Bondarchuk "Inhabited Island" on the book of the Strugatsky brothers and the film Roman Jugunova on the children of Indigo. To continue the conversation about the movie I will add that our music sounds in the "ninth company" Bondarchuk and the film "Heat", released on the screens in late December. Now work on our third album is already being released, it will be released in two versions: in Russian and English, "he says Daniel Tunin, a correspondent of the Gileel Country newspaper. Today, the "Jewish magazine" presents you the full version of the interview with Small.

It is very cool, playing a street concert in London, but the metropolitan audience is also waiting for a meeting with the Tokyo group. When will you be heard in Moscow?
- On February 17, we will have a big concert in the club "B 1". This is a new big concert area with very good sound and light, there may be up to three thousand people. In my opinion, this metropolitan club can be bolded to call the beautiful, correct and first European stylish place. Almost immediately after the Moscow concert, tours begin, first Russian, then European.

Tell me a little more about your European tour. What countries are planning to visit, who to meet?
- In Moscow, we enter the bus with all the equipment and equip it under the studio. I myself do not know everything yourself about the details yet, the route is still specified. For example, on the way from Moscow to Paris, write a new song right on the bus. In Paris, we are three or four days, give concerts there, agree with local producers, and this new song falls on one of the local musical radio stations. Then we are going to Berlin and on the way hearing themselves on the radio. The main chip is that the TV cameras will be removed on the trip. I hope that everything will be fine, and this tour will be shown on television with the support of MTV as a reality show. The idea is that everything is in my head, there are no borders and if you wish, you can do anything. Also during this trip we plan to meet with our friends and hang out on some closed parties. In Paris with Monica Belucci, in London with Agem, in Spain with Almadovar. I think we will have an interesting trip. After some time after returning from Europe, we will go to the Asian tour, we have Japan's plans and other countries. But it is too early to talk about it in more detail, because the trip is scheduled to end spring or the beginning of summer.

- About you and group "Tokyo" the last few years say a lot. What was before that?
- I was born and grew up in Krivoy Rog in Ukraine. My first music teacher was called Igor Semenovich Beer, he led me for the ears in a music school. At first I learned to play Balalyka, then I enrolled in the music school to the Conductor Faculty, in the third year I was excluded from there. And at seventeen years I came to Moscow, in the yard was 1991. At first, I tried to make music that was not needed to anyone. Then I had our own clubs and agencies related to the music, but by and large it was all I was not interested, because I always wanted to do the music. Everything in my life was changed in a drafically after acquaintance with Gosha Kutsenko. I had a certain transitional period in my life, I thought in which direction to move on. Gosha said a lot of good in my address, his words were very important then for me. And I refused everything, deciding to devote myself to music.

- Tell me how did you meet Gosha Kutsenko?
"I met with one girl who studied with Gauche in one course." And I had a thought to remove the clip for one song. Shortly before that, Gosha starred in the film "Mom, do not burn" and was very popular. I called him with a proposal to play in my clip. Gosh agreed, despite the fact that I had no money to pay. That's how our friendship began.

You were one of the organizers of the rally in support of Israel on July 31, 2006. What did you get to take it to take such an active part in this?
"We were then in Europe and saw a constant highlighting in the press, statements of politicians and conversations of ordinary people of Israel as an aggressor, an occupant and the enemy of all mankind. Talking then with different people about the Israeli-Lebanese war, I realized that it was necessary to show and voice another point of view. The task of this rally was to support the Israelis, and not the government. People came out not only because everyone criticized Israel. All intelligent people are clear that from the summer war with Lebanon Israel did not receive any benefit. I then called my friends and said that we need to express our point of view. And we decided to gather, talk and support Israel. About a hundred people came to the rally, I thought us would be no more than 20-30 people. There were not only Jews, people really worried, some read psalms and prayer "Shma, Israel" expressed different points of view. On the eve of the rally, strange calls from some Jewish organizations were distributed. They demanded everything to cancel, because there may be provocations, organize and need to be done otherwise, you need to discuss everything, move the timing. I said that I have an idea that I am implemented now, and not sweat. We filed a request to the Moscow Mayor, received permission, and all of us perfectly turned out.

In recent years, in various Jewish circles, it is customary to speak and a systemic Jewish crisis in the post-Soviet space. Do you share this point of view?
- It is necessary to understand what, it means to be a Jew. When you stand at the wall with your hands raised and confess in love for Vosna, and at this moment someone comes to you, pulls the sleeve and asks to give money, it becomes a problem. In my opinion, all the problems occurring in the world today are related to the fact that the Jews can not understand what should apply to Vsev. This is the most important thing, while no one bothers to do business, politics, creativity. It is very cool that you can realize yourself in life, just need to understand who provides us with. Obviously, it is impossible to talk about love for a woman without hugging her without kissing her, without feeling her smell ... It is useless to talk about these things, if you do not understand what love I created this world with what love. I visited many synagogues in different cities and countries. There are almost no young people.

And if they appear there, then they pursue some interests. It happens that those who want to immerse themselves in Jewry come, but seeing the local atmosphere, they merge from there, especially without lingering. Today, there is already a completely different time than 15 years ago, when the Jewish life and the awakening of Jewish self-consciousness only gained momentum. It is necessary to be active, moving, communicate with the world, not closing in yourself, and begin to love Vsev-him. If this is done, then wisdom will come. If you become wise, then you understand how everything is arranged and you can influence it. It is necessary to understand how long we love, and without Kabbalah it is impossible. It is known that the Jews unites or some kind of problem, or a big love for Vsev. And it is now that this moment comes, love him, I feel very clearly feeling. It is impossible to be derailed from the world, now it starts our time. But it is necessary to feel, to believe and live it. Jews just do not agree with each other.

-When and where did you start learning Kabbalah?
- I read my own and collected the books on the Jewish tradition, a lot where I called, communicated with different Jewish enlighteners, by the way, among them there are a lot of void and charlatans looking for simple and fast accomplices in Jewry. It lasted until I met my teacher and the spiritual mentor Vladimir Slutcker. He finds the right words for each of his students. I have been learning in his echiva for two years. The main thing is what I study there is love. In this place gathered beautiful and very beautiful people, I see what there is no longer anywhere in the world, and I was and I am in very many places on the planet Earth. I see there a completely special attitude towards teachers, to books, to wisdom, to prayer and each other. After these classes and communication, new songs are perfectly written, and interesting and bright thoughts come to mind.

- To what extent do you adhere to the canons of the Jewish tradition?
- I observe Kashrut, I celebrate all the Jewish holidays. If I have a concert in Shabbat, I do not receive money for him. But by phone on Saturday I speak, it is not written in the Torah that they can not use. By the way, it is on Saturday that the best concerts are obtained. Now XXI and you have to be open to the world, it comes to cars and you need to act really. At the same time, I treat the commandments very seriously, trying to observe them as much as possible. A Jew without the Creator is not a Jew.

- What can you give the message to those who want to understand yourself, their Jewry and go to the right road in life?
"One of my friend, his name is Misha Pelik, once said me the following:" Do not doubt and move your dear. " It is necessary to turn on the head, analyze. And do not think that it is possible to feed at the expense of Jewry. It is necessary to live beautifully, and without love it is impossible. Do not doubt and look for love in this world, it is enough for everyone.
