Barry & Batya Segal

Praise and worship duo Barry and Batya Segal are among Israel’s leading inspirational recording artists and have recorded seven albums together.

Batya was brought up listening to classical, Israeli and Yemenite music, and she is celebrated as a songwriter in both English and Hebrew.

Barry was born in Detroit, and was raised on a varied musical diet, from classical to rhythm and blues. His distinctive and upbeat style mixes traditional Middle Eastern sounds with modern world music, using a variety of unique instruments. Barry and Batya met at a musician’s workshop and instantly connected, musically and spiritually, marrying in 1987.

Based on Scripture, their songs incorporate rich vocal harmonies and ancient Yemenite elements, and have been translated into many languages.

Today, Barry and Batya live on the outskirts of Jerusalem, and in 1994 they established Vision for Israel and The Joseph Storehouse to help disadvantaged people in Israel and other nations.
