And so the season begins...

Another summer is behind us and once again I look forward to a wonderful new year at LSS. So much has transpired this summer and most of you know a bit about it from talking to us, but briefly I will highlight a few events.

Our summer vacation was spent with plenty of family time in Swan Lake, NY, but I also took advantage of the downtime to travel a bit and concertize. There was Antwerp, Warsaw and many other local gigs that were BH...Read more...

East meets West

Ok, so on the right you can see the poster for the concert I did last Thursday. Ach! What an experience! A fusion of cultures, all united in presenting musical themes of liberation - personal and collective. The nitty gritty info you can get from the poster.  On a personal level though, I really enjoyed the experience. You see, Dr Kugelmass, the director of Jewish studies who put up this concert is an avid traveler, collector and foodie....Read more...

NYS Chaplains Task Force

Just figured it would be nice to let you know that I am now officially a member of the NYS Chaplains Task Force. The organization was offering a course in my area, I thought I would benefit from it (and hopefully you too ;-) so I joined.

Another Wonderful Shabbes!

This post is hot off the press. Literally. I don't know about you, but we just got back to Brooklyn and there's definitely an awesome energy we're charged with.    This shabbos rocked. This Shabbos was explosive. This was undeniably the best Shabbos to kick off the month of purim.   Sing it loud, say it proud....firstly 2 mazel tov shutouts to the newest members of LSS -Babies Elana and Liba. May your parents see much joy and...Read more...

My recent trip to Eretz Yisrael

Shalom friends;


Baruch HaShem my trip to Eretz Yisrael was a great success. The Carlebach concert took place on Wednesday the 19th, but since it was with the Israel philharmonic, I had to leave as early as Sunday for a few rehearsals. From Davening at the Kotel, to shopping at the Shuk, to the actual concert, the trip was wholly memorable.

Below I share with you the following media.

Do enjoy please!

Upcoming Shabbat / Ve'yiyu Rachamecho

Shalom Everyone;

Hmmmm, its been dormant here for a bit. Well, let's blame it on winter vacation. Good thing, right? Of course right!

I am particularly excited about this coming Shabbat. To begin with, it is the inaugural FF (first Friday) where young professionals of the community get to have dinner together. Additionally, following dinner we are having an Oneg again! If you like to sing, you won't want to miss...Read more...

Oneg

Shavua Tov!

Friends, it has been a great pleasure and honor to pour our hearts out in song Friday night at the Tisch / Oneg / Kumzitz. It is my fervent hope that as we go along and do this more often, the spectators will become participators thereby elevating our d'veykus in HKB'h B'rov Am.

Bring On The Warmth

Shavuah Tov friends!

If it makes you feel any better, we were also just as...Read more...

Se'uda Stories

Yudit and I have received and are receiving numerous Shabbat dinner/lunch invites. It truly reflects the warmth and acceptance of our community when ivitations are extended so openly and frequently. I hate to kvetch, but as you all surely know, being hosted while the kids are tired, cranky or restless ain't a picnic. However, we decided to brave it and accepted Joyce and David Friedman's invitation to join them for Friday night dinner two weeks...Read more...

Shiur @ LSS

Hi everybody;

Ok, I taste tested the many exciting Shiurim and BH I found my match. For those of you who may not know, every Wednesday evening we have Beis Medrash Night. People of different stripes and types come together for a night of learning. From Tanach to Philosophy to Talmud to Parsha, there is something for everyone.

I joined Rabbi Weiss' Shiur and I now just want to go on to a rooftop and shout to the world. Hello!...Read more...

Chanukah at the National Menorah in Washington DC

On the first night of Chanukah, I am scheduled to sing at the National Menorah in front of the White House. Having done it twice before, I can tell you it is an amazing experience and a fun time. If you are in the area, or if you want to drive, fly, or take the amtrack down you will have a great time.

My recent trip to Paris / Copenhagen

Here are some pictures of my recent 'mini tour'. I landed in Paris for a private concert to benefit the Warsaw Jewish Museum. The concert was held in the Jewish Museum in Paris. From Paris, me and Menachem Bristovsky (piano accompaniment) flew to Copenhagen for a concert with Yaakov Motzen and Alberto Mizrahi.

You can see the Pompidou Museum, the Seine River, the palace of Louvre, the beautiful Shul in Copenhagen and...Read more...

V'zakeini

Two weeks ago at Seuda Shlishit, our distinguished community scholar Mrs. Elana Stein Hain asked me to do something 'new' aside from 'page 50'. I wanted to do Rozo D'shabbos but I only had around three minutes... Below you can find a video of the song I did. It is a beautiful song with even more beautiful lyrics. It is sung by the composer Boruch Levine.

Torn

     This past Motzei Shabbat we had the opportunity to watch the fascinating documentary of Jakub Wexler - Torn. For those of you who are not familiar, it is a story about a Catholic priest, who discovers  he was hidden throughout the war and he is in fact.... Jewish. He has since moved to Israel and now works in Yad V'shem.

     Last year in August, I had two concerts during the Jewish...Read more...

Carlebach Mimkomcho

Dear Friends;

     Apparently I made the mistake of using the big Carlebach Mimkomcho in Shacharis Kedusha. Now, every week, people expect something at least as good. The trouble is that most other tunes just pale in contrast to this one.... So here's a deal. I give you a recording of the Carlebach Mimkomcho so you can listen to it at any time (not on Shabbat ;-), and you will let me change things up a bit. As...Read more...
