(Click HERE to listen to an exclusive preview) Lipa Schmeltzer’s new album titled “A Poshiter Yid”, will be in stores a day or two after Shavuos, and will surely be a smashing hit. Lipa tells YWN that there are 14 tracks on the album, which include compositions by: Gideon Levine, Pinky Weber, Motty Ilowitz, Rabbi Hillel Paley, Yossi Green, Meshulem Greenberger, Moshe Laks Chily Posen, and of course Lipa.
Lipa will be giving a video interview to YWN just after Yom Tov as well – which is guaranteed to be quite entertaining!

Mazal un Brocha!
To me it doesnt sound like Lipa has changed his style of music. Its as modern as ever with a disco style beat. Looking forward to hear it though!!!
Noitallmr,
Same style music to be sure, for the most part, but I had thought the Rabbonim asked him to tone down his CONCERTS, not necessarily his style of music as it relates to CD’s.
I could be wrong.
Either way, he is talented, but his music is “not my taste.”
Maybe he can called it “A Reformed Jew”
Sammygoul can write lyrics for him (forget it we don’t want Lipa banned again).
This Album Will defenately be full of Heimishe Music, so stop Gossiping about him!
#4& #5- Stop poking fun. He is a good person who’s done some mistakes in the past and is trying to improve. Why ridicule someone who wants to do what’s right. Did you ever try to work on YOURSELVES? It’s not easy and he’s supposed to be admired for it. Especially that his nesayon was public news. No one expects him to make a 360 degree turn at once. He started wiht something big, and I’m sure he’s still trying to get better.
you guy’s hear one clip which is obviously lipa’s own composition yet have an opinion of the whole CD with out even having heard it
why not give the guy a fighting chance
i agree it isnt my style of yeshivish music like regesh or boruch levin but i intend to go out and purchase his new CD to show my support for someone who listened to our gedolim and daas torah and took a lose and risked his whole parnosa/career
someone who bowed to daas torah deserves for all who support our gedolim and daas torah [btw this isnt daas torah just common sense] to go out and purchase lipas new CD
if you dont want to listen to it donate it to “chai lifeline” as they have a library of cd’s it loans out to sick children either in hospitals or at home
lipa you realize (by now) that you have many yeshiva boys who follow your career and look up to you. by listening to daas torah of our gedolim shlita. you were mekadesh shaym shomayim befarhesya in such a public fashion
lipa im mekana your olam haboa for the tremendous kidush hashem you have made
keep up the good work may hashem bentch you with much brocho,hatzlocho and parnosa beherchova
and continue to use your talants to be misamayach yidden A BE MELEIBT!
wow #9! You couldnt have said it any better! I agree with every word you wrote and im sure anyone with a little Sechel agrees too.im glad to see that there are still some pple out there that dont make fun of TESHUVA!! He is truly an amazing guy for what he gave up.
btw-You’re right about buying the cd. good way to show him support.
i hope the rest of the cd has more of a yiddeshe flavor.
LIPA I ALWAYS LOVE YOUR MUSIC, BUT THIS SONG IS NOTHING TO RAVE ABOUT. I AM STILL A BIG FAN OF YOURS (P.S. REGARDS FROM MENDY ROSEN)
I have absolutely no opinion on this matter, but I want to state it clearly.
Re no.9 “risked his whole parnosa/career”
Dont make me laugh…this apparent teshuvah was the greatest thing even moneywise that he ever did!!!! i dont think he thought for a second that he with lose his career.
Re: Lawman
He clearly said at a number of interviews that he’s changing his whole style of music and this cd looks like an apparent contradiction???!!!!
#2. Disco was modern 30 years ago.
#8: I assume that you meant a 180 degree turn. A 360 degree turn, would have hime continuing on the same mehalech as before.
Disappointed. I hoped he would change his style.
This is the style for todays music and its not goyish at all, if you give this to listen to a goy they wouldent like it. i love lipa’s music style.
LIPA keep up the good work. I will always be your fan.
men hut shoin gehert azans
to sammygol- i meant public news – the BIG EVENT CONCERT
I think its a great song and the whole point is that it doesnt have a goyisheh mekor, so Lipa- waiting for the album!
Lipa did ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong that requires Teshuva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you guys got the album, you’ll see that it seemd he’s making fun of the Gedolim (back of inside says “BIG” in caps a bunch of times, and he has the picture of a kol keireh ripped down) Also, did anybody else see the interview he had with the Jerusalem Post? It seems he was unrepentent, and he just cancelled the concert so he wouldn’t lose $ in the long run. I’m very dissapointed after having been so impressed with his supposed turn around
Anybody care to clarify any of this for me please?
