Asaf Fulks & Yakira Shimoni Fulks - WHYS
The shooting at Chabad of Poway resonated deep inside me. Only four years ago, I was tied-up at gunpoint by three armed thugs when they robbed my studio. After staring down the barrel of a gun, knife to my throat, wondering if it will be my last moment—I am grateful to still be alive. However, horrific attacks like these rob us of our innocence and sense of security. This past Sabbath service at Chabad, these feelings struck home again. Instead of the typical cheerful sounds of children playing hoops outside, we were all inside guarded by heavily armed security. It was eerie. Just a few days before, we remembered the Holocaust and suddenly this was not just a chapter in history—it was a reality. Right here, in beautiful sunny southern California, in the Land of the Free, Jews were forced to be locked down in their house of worship. And I wondered Why?
The day after the robbery, I came back determined to rebuild my studio and not allow the incident to define my life—and I made it even better. This is the legacy of the Jewish people. Despite countless atrocities, we never gave up, and went on to rebuild our homeland into a beautiful thriving country. Still I wonder why—why are rockets falling? Why all the killings? Why are churches burning? Why are leaders not taking action? Why does the world not open its eyes? So many whys...
There are no easy answers, but I still have faith that if we each take responsibility for our actions the pieces will fall into peace. "They shall turn their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they know war any more." (Isaiah 2:4)

Asaf David Fulks - REAR VIEW ft. Yakira Shimoni Fulks | The OC Recording...
REAR VIEW
Asaf David Fulks ft. Yakira Shimoni Fulks
Rear View is the last release of Asaf Fulks OC Bandwagon album. Asaf and Yakira deliver a spiritual message with powerful sounds and imagery in this timeless pop, r&b, electronic music crossover.
September marks The OC Recording Company's 13th anniversary! Wow, what a journey it's been. The one person who has been here through it all is my SouLit Momma Kira Shimoni Fulks! It's an honor to share this journey with her and collaborate together on my album. Thirteen in Hebrew equals love and without her love none of this would have been possible. This song is dedicated to my late uncle Ehud Shimoni, who loved the City of Angels and will forever be the King of Hollywood.
The signs are changing all around! This is the last release on my OC Bandwagon album -- coming soon! Law school starts in October, the studio is poppin' and now I'll be promoting my Mom's Yakira Shimoni Fulks Artkirasart.com. I'm very excited to be a member of Chabad of West Orange County and to dive deeper into Torah studies with Rabbi Yisroel Zavdi. My music lives on at ocrecording.com, hiphopbeatz.com and asafproductions.com. Thank you all for your support. Enjoy REAR VIEW - trust I'll be here to see this through. Keep your eyes off the rear view!
A sweet and good new year to all!
לאהוד בּאהבה

Asaf David Fulks - LOVE HAS TAKEN OVER
Asaf David Fulks
LOVE HAS TAKEN OVER
In honor of the State of Israel's 70th anniversary and my Mom YaKira Shimoni Fulks 65th birthday, we visited my Savta Shulamit Shimoni in Jerusalem. It was a magical homecoming and an unforgettable summer. What a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with family. Truly blessed to descend from such an incredible people and beautiful land rich in history. Because of their love, I came back to California stronger than I was before. This video is dedicated to my family, Israel and God whose Love HAS TAKEN OVER. You are forever in my heart and soul. Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one.
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד
