Guess what? I have good news. I’m VERY close to finishing the long-awaited recording that many of you have been asking me about! It’s entitled “Yahuah Acoustics. Vol.1.” This recording has been an ongoing work in progress for over 4 months now. There have been many ups and downs behind the scenes, but Yahuah is good. Finally all the pieces have come together and the project will be released in early December, 2014. That’s in just a few weeks! Wanna see a sneak peek of the cover photo? It’s pictured on the left.
This recording will be entirely focused on the music and the message that Yahuah has given to encourage and inspire YOU. The songs you already know and love from the setapartheart.com blog will finally be available for you to enjoy off-line, wherever you are, whenever you want to – instead of just on YouTube.
HOWEVER, I do need your help. Before everything is finalized, I’d like to make sure that your needs and desires are taken care of. I feel like I’ve gotten to know a lot of you through email correspondence and social media, but truly, most of us have never met face to face, and I don’t want to make assumptions.
So This is where YOU come in. Please take a few minutes to answer the super- short survey below. There are only three questions (YAY!) Feel free to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable sharing…. Thanks in advance for your participation.
SUPER SHORT SURVEY: YOUR MUSIC. YOUR JOURNEY.
The survey has been removed. thank you to those who participated!

I will be reading every single response to better understand your needs and your music preferences. If you’re excited about the release coming out in just a few weeks, feel free to leave a comment on the blog below!

Shalum shalum my friends!
Just finished writing a new song for you.
Praise be to Yahuah and His Son Yahusha!
Are you looking forward to the Second coming?
I know I am… I can hardly wait till the shofar sounds on that great day…
I’m growing tired of this world, but I know we must endure to the end.
Let’s sing songs together to help us to keep moving forward, shall we?
The new song is called “Baruch Haba” and the Lyrics are based on Psalms 118:26.
Baruch Haba B’shem Yahuah: Blessed is He who comes in the name of Yahuah…. You’ll find these same words are repeated in Mark 11:29.
ברוך Blessed הבא he that comes בשׁם in the name יהוה of Yahuah. ברכנוכם we have blessed מבית you out of the house יהוה of Yahuah. Psalms 118:26
I made a video for you to enjoy below.
All praise goes to Yahuah….
Feel free to sing along with me!
Thank you so much for spending time here on the blog.
It’s encouraging to know that we’re on this walk together!
If you enjoyed the music, leave a comment below and feel free to share with your friends.

Too many of us come into the Hebrew Roots Movement with a chip on our shoulders. A lot of people come into this walk feeling angry with the Christian church. I understand what it feels like to be hurt by the lies of others – trust me, I do. But carrying a chip on your shoulder for a long time is a very dangerous thing. Not only is it stressful on your body and your mind, but hurt and pain tends to get in the way of a lot of positive things: Love, joy, and peace for example – just to name a few.
If you feel upset about not knowing the truth – angry or hurt about growing up in the midst of lies, remember this: The joy of Yahuah is your strength.
“Do not be sad, for the joy of Yahuah is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10b, The Scriptures
I wrote a song called “So Happy” which was released on my album called “Step Out” back when I was a Christian. I just redid the song in a video for you last night. Added a Hebrew Roots twist so that Yahuah’s name can shine through. I pray this song inspires you to let some things go if you need to. Yahuah wants to give you the fruit of His Spirit so that you can be a shining light to the nations.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22 KJV
I pray the video with music below will inspire you to let go of your cares and be happy, for the joy of Yahuah is your strength.
If you enjoyed the video above, feel free to share it with a friend who needs to be lifted up. Have a wonderful day in Yahuah and His Son Yahusha, Ha Maschiyach.

Hi, it’s me Hadarah…. I’ve been putting off doing this blog post for quite a while… but it’s time.
There is much MORE to understand about faith and spirituality than what Christians, Jews, or any other organized religion is currently teaching. I’ve posted a video below to share some of the reasons why I no longer consider myself a Christian. If you’re not in the mood for reading today, just skip to the video below and you can watch that instead.
Disclaimer Nothing that I say in this video is spoken with the intent to defame or blame any particular individual person or religious group. I am simply telling my story in an effort to encourage those of you who may be on a similar journey, and to clarify the answers for those of you who have questions about what I believe. Since I started posting music videos here on the blog, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my beliefs. This video is simply my way of sharing more of what I believe with all of you.
I have been a Seventh-day Adventist Christian for my entire life up until maybe about a year ago and a half ago. If you know anything about the SDA Church, you know that they claim to be a peculiar people because they worship on the Seventh day Sabbath and they don’t subsscribe to many of the beliefs that most popular Christian Churches believe today. The SDA church teaches a lot of truth, A LOT of truth. But there is still much MORE truth in the scriptures that even the SDA Church will not discuss.
I personally had to step outside of this social club that we call church in order to see and understand that there is indeed more truth. In the video below I would like to share with you just a couple of points that touch on why I am no longer a Christian. I don’t claim to have everything in my spiritual life sorted out, but I do feel solid about the points that I will be sharing with you today. Most of these points apply to Christianity as a whole, but some will also apply to the SDA Church. See the video below.
If you’re not able to watch the video above right now, this is, in short, what I believe:
- I believe in the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation
- I believe that there should not be a devision between the old and new “testament”
- I believe that the covenant Yahuah made with His people is everlasting and that His promises are still true
- I do NOT believe that the Christian Church has replaced the nation of Israel.
- I believe that Christianity blows love and grace out of proportion.
- I believe that grace and mercy can not exist without the law.
- I believe that The Scriptures is a book about Hebrew People
- I believe that Deuteronomy 28 especially verse 64-68, gives us a clear understanding of who the Hebrews are today
- I believe that Israel is comprised of the natural born seed and those who choose to be grafted in
- I believe that Yahuah and His only brought-forth Son Yahusha should be called by their true set apart names, not by the titles Lord, God, or the mistranslated name of Jesus.
- I believe the concept of the Trinity doesn’t even scratch the surface of who our Creator really is.
- I believe that Christmas, Easter, and Halloween are days that Yahuah’s covenant keeping people should take no part in.
- I believe that we should be learning how to celebrate Yahuah’s Feast Days and that just like the 7th day Sabbath they are a mark or sign of the covenant that Yahuah has made with His people.
This is not by any means an exhaustive list of what I believe. But I do hope it helps to clarify for those who want to know. And mostly I pray it’s an encouragement for those of you who are on a journey too. If you have questions feel free to leave a comment! If you’re curious about how this journey started, I tell that story on my about page. Sending much love.
-Hadarah Batyah.

I’m back already because i’ve got some exciting news to share with you!
I know it’s only been two weeks since the last new song I posted “Singing Praise” But i couldn’t stay away cause I just HAVE to tell you what’s happening!
But before I share the news – how about I share a song? If you’ve had a hard week, hopefully this will help you to feel better. We’re all on a journey, so if you’re as human as I am, this song will be perfect for you.
It’s entitled “Now I Live” and I wrote it YEARS AGO. October 28, 2008 is the first time I posted it on my old “Rochelle Hanson Music” youtube channel. My life was so different then, and I hadn’t learned The Name of Yahuah, so I decided to do a new Hebrew Roots version of the song. The lyrics speak to our journey – and what’s crazy about it is, these lyrics mean even more to me now than they did when I first wrote it back in the Fall of 2008. I hope and pray that the lyrics will be meaningful for you as well.
The scripture passage below is so fitting that I just had to share it with you too.
“And He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of Alahiym (Elohim), and of the Lamb.” Revelation 22:1
We may not know exactly what tomorrow holds, but we know who holds the future. Oh how I look forward to that great day…. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow will come, so now- I live….. Enjoy the music in the video below.
Now I Live
The Exciting News
Did you hear the news? I’m recording music for you! Going to the studio on July 29th. It’s been YEARS since my last recording so i’m REALLY EXCITED to be able to make music for you now. Especially because I know that some of you have been asking for it!
I know it can be frustrating to only have music in video form, cause that’s not very convenient when you want to listen to it in the car or wherever else you happen to be. So I’ll keep you posted on the progress of it all. Giving all praise to Yahuah because this would NOT be possible AT ALL had he not placed certain people in my life and allowed them to have kindness in their heart to help me get this project out to you! (HUGE SHOUT OUT TO JESSE MANOU!! Thank you SO MUCH JESSEE!!)
The recording is going to be a short EP of 3-5 songs, depending on how much we can accomplish in the time allotted. Yahuah’s will be done!! 😀 If you’re excited about the recording coming out – leave a comment and let me know! And don’t forget to subscribe below so that you can stay connected.

Hi there, I’m Hadarah Batyah. I sincerely believe that in order to have a spiritual walk that is authentic and true, the Word of Yahuah must be written on the inside of our hearts. That's why I write scripture songs and set apart music. Although I don’t have everything in my spiritual life all figured out, I know that Yahuah gave me the gift of music to serve Him and encourage your heart. I pray you'll be inspired by what you see on this blog. If you're curious and wanna know more- I tell it all on the
