Having been influenced by Shlomo Carlebach, at the age of 16 or 17 Chait began composing Jewish religious melodies.[3] Later, in 1975, Chait would go on to collaborate with Carlebach and Abie Rotenberg on an album, Ani Maamin (lit.'I Believe').[2]
In 1967, Chait co-founded a band called The Rabbis' Sons[2] along with Label Sharfman, Itzy Weinberger and Michael Zheutlin—all of the bandmates being sons of rabbis.[4] The band's debut album, Hal'lu, featured some of Chait's first compositions, including Rabos Machshovos (lit.'Many Are The Thoughts')[2] and Mi Ho-ish (lit.'Who Is The Man'), which he adapted from The Book of Psalms.[3] The progressive sound that the band produced received a somewhat lukewarm response from Leibowitz due to its folk roots (the band's instruments consisted mostly of guitars, a relatively new innovation for Jewish music of the time)[2] but Chait's father approved.[3] Chait later founded Kol Salonika. He has since composed hundreds of Jewish religious songs that have wide popularity and appeal, publishing dozens of records.[5] He wrote Kol Ha'Olam Kulo while performing for Israel Defense Forces soldiers during the Yom Kippur War.[4] The song quickly became an Israeli standard, having been covered by Ofra Haza. On February 27, 2022, Chait was inducted with the inaugural class of the Jewish Music Hall of Fame.
Educationedit
In 1987, Chait founded Maarava Machon Rubin,[6] a yeshiva high school in Matityahu, West Bank.[2] The school combines religious and secular studies at a level allowing completion of matriculation exams.[4] The school caters to the Haredi sector, and this fact initially brought Chait, who described himself as a "small man", into conflict with ostensibly greater Haredi leaders who normally oppose such innovation in Jewish education.[4] However, he has since secured the private blessing of a number of leading rabbis in this endeavour.[4]
Writingedit
Chait has written a number of children's educational books on Jewish topics, together with illustrators Gadi Pollack and Yoni Gerstein.[6] Many of his books go under the name of the HaLamdan HaKattan (small scholar) series.
