Safam is an American Jewish rock band originating from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in 1974 by Dan Funk, Joel Sussman, Robbie Solomon, and Alan Nelson. The band members, initially part of the Zamir Chorale of Boston, sought to explore music beyond traditional choral settings. They met Solomon, who had moved to Boston to attend the Berklee College of Music. The group name, Safam, meaning "moustache" in Hebrew, was inspired by the facial hair they all sported at the time.

Safam's music is a blend of traditional Jewish themes and American popular music styles from the 1960s and 1970s, including rock, pop, folk, and Latin influences. They are known for their "Jewish-American Sound," characterized by original music, lyrics, and arrangements. The band has released eleven studio albums, two greatest hits albums, and a double album featuring Hanukkah and Passover songs.

One of their notable songs, "Leaving Mother Russia," written by Solomon, highlights the struggles of Jewish refuseniks in the Soviet Union. This song became emblematic of the Soviet Jewry movement and was performed at significant events, including a rally at the United Nations Headquarters where Natan Sharansky, the song's inspiration, joined them on stage.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Safam toured extensively across the United States, England, the Caribbean, and Canada. Their music has become a staple in Jewish-American culture, resonating with audiences of all ages and maintaining their position at the forefront of Jewish music in America.
