The Reviews Are In!

“Just wanted to reach out and tell you again how wonderful the show was on Sunday night at our Shul. We have heard from the older generation how much it warmed their hearts to hear music from back in the day when they were getting married.  They recalled words to the songs and were singing along.  We heard from the young about how awesome it was to hear the music of their elders. Everyone had such a great time and it was so exciting to see a standing ovation-well deserved!  The evening brought the community together and moved everyone. We are so grateful!”

Robin Krasne, Congregation B’nai Zion (El Paso, Texas)
