VISA MIRACLE: Singer Gad Elbaz Credits Visit to the Yenuka With Unexpected Approval to Return to America

Nov 13, 2026·2 min read

Jewish singer Gad Elbaz has shared an account of what he describes as a remarkable yeshuah that enabled him to return to the United States, despite warnings from his immigration attorneys that he would be unable to reenter the country.

In a message released this week, Elbaz recounted the difficulties he encountered while attempting to return to America, where his family resides and where he has established much of his personal and professional life.

According to Elbaz, he had traveled in and out of the United States for nine years using an artist visa, which was renewed every three years. However, when he recently sought to return, his attorneys informed him that his circumstances had changed and warned that he would not be permitted to enter.

The lawyers reportedly advised him to remain in Israel for an entire year before submitting another application.

Faced with the prospect of being separated from his family for an extended period, Elbaz turned to Rav Shlomo Yehuda Be’eri, widely known as the Yenuka, seeking guidance and a bracha.

“My entire family is there. My entire life is there,” Elbaz recalled telling the rov.

Elbaz said he expected Rav Be’eri to reassure him about his immigration difficulties. Instead, the rov surprised him by asking how his father was doing and then inquiring about his mother.

Despite the discouraging legal advice, Elbaz decided to proceed with his application, placing his trust in the guidance he had received.

“I’m following the advice of my rov,” he recalled telling himself.

He subsequently attended an immigration interview, uncertain whether he would be allowed to return to the United States.

To his astonishment, the interview concluded with an unexpected announcement.

“Okay, we have good news. You can enter,” Elbaz recalled being told.

Elbaz described the development as an extraordinary yeshuah, expressing his excitement and gratitude over the outcome.

“History beyond nature!” he exclaimed in the video.

Elbaz did not provide further details about the specific immigration issue or the legal basis for the approval.
