I am honored to have been asked to provide a short musical selection for Yom Hashoah on April 18th 2012, 7:30pm, at Beth-El Synagogue at 124 Litchfield St., Torrington, CT.
I will accompanied by Eric Paradine on guitar and will be singing a traditional song in Hebrew, a modern folk song written by singer/songwriter, Joe Crookston, “G-d Bless America,” and my own arrangement of “Hatikvah.” This arrangement is based on a BBC radio broadcast of newly liberated survivors from Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and the original 10 stanza poem the song was taken from.
The service will be mostly in Hebrew and English and will conclude with a candle lighting ceremony. It is open to the public.
