Good evening and welcome. Boy, what a pleasure be able to get into your car and drive about four minutes to the show. No airplanes, no waiting in lines for luggage. I must tell you that during the past 10 years, by the way, do you like this tie any better than the one on the poster? I thought you might. Anyhow, during the past 10 years, I've spent a lot of time on on airplanes and in airports. many interesting occurrences during those 10 years. For instance, first that comes to mind was a sukas concert. I was invited to Milwaukee to the out there. He had a beautiful tremendous suka and 500 people comfortably seated inside. They were served a delicious meal and um I was singing there. There's one problem. You see, it was only 3° below zero, which made it a little bit little bit chilly. Then, of course, there's the famous one. You might have heard about my experience. What's happening to the lights over here? Everything under control? Oh, here we go. Anything right up there? Anyhow, then there was this experience in Minnesota where it seems that the organizer didn't realize that the Minnesota Twins were playing in the World Series that night. So, 14 people showed up. Luckily, I have a brother who lives in Minnesota and he came with his 12 kids and that that did the trick. Anyhow, my friends, we are in a year of miracles. For me professionally, a miracle, a long dream of mine came true this year. I was invited to come sing in the Soviet Union and um many interesting things happened there. One little story I'll share with you. As we were leaving the Soviet Union, we were dropped off at the airport. My wife and I were heading into the terminal. this couple that had taken us to the airport with their two little children were about to pull away from the curb when I hear my name being called and I turn around and this little 5-year-old boy wearing this big Russian fur hat he's rolling down the window and he sticks his head out and on the top of his lungs he yells we want Mashiach now little 5-year-old boy, a little 5-year-old boy in Ruslan. What does he want? What does he ask for? One request he has mashiach now. And I think that all of us whether we express it, whether we shout it or believing it in our heart says every to lead thirsts and longs for Mashiach for Glokite and for holiness. One, two, three. One, two, I came. came home. I came. I came now she s left her with a king while I came home she s most I am a weapon. Someone like you. Someone like you. My name I let you heat.

You know my friend speaking about chabas put together a special slide presentation for you this is actually something that I've been showing literally throughout the world trying to capture that moment in fact when started talking about is when I put together this slideshow and I hope you will enjoy it. It's dedicated to all Yiddishams and all future Yiddish Shamas who brighten up the world with benching a shabasal or a Where's that going? Right here. Is that staying there? Let me just get a chair.

That be better if I show you when to change it? Oh, anybody uh familiar to you on this picture by the way? Yes. Huh? From the top. Here we go. Peter among the smiles among the tears of my childhood. sweet and bitter ears. There's a picture that my memory fondly frames and in it burns to tiny flames. My mother's shest candles which made our home so bright, which faithfully she lighted with a prayer on Friday night. And then around the table, we gatherred and we heard. My father chant the kush. Wait for your queue. His heart in every word. Our humble home became a mansion in that mystic glow. Our hearts were filled with hopes and dreams and thoughts of long ago. And yet the tragic stories of Israel's darkest nights will never dim. The glory of my mother's shest lights. My mother's shest candles which made our home so bright which faithfully she lighted with a prayer on Friday night. And then around the table we gatherred and we heard. My father chanted the kibush. His heart in every word. Our humble home became a mansion hid at mystic glow. Our hearts were filled with hopes and dreams and thoughts of long ago. And yet the tragic stories of Israel's darkest nights will never never dim the glory. Go back to that picture, please. of my mother. Shabus love. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. I'll see you a little bit later. Thank you for my stand. Thank you. Now tell me, do you understand why this young man's talent is in demand all over the world? You heard him tell you he just got back from the Soviet Union. Are you aware that Mbavic has kabad in Moscow? You can be so proud of yourself. I don't know what impresses me more about you, that you've got Tabad in Moscow or that you have Tabad in Charlotte, North Carolina, the state where I grew up. We are now going to have a change of pace, but not a change of passion. We have been graced and blessed with one of the most welcome voices in the world. By an odd coincidence, in the classroom where Abraham studied, there was another voice destined to be great. And we're going to hear that voice now. It too reverberates around the world. I asked him where else he performed. And after five trips to Brazil, Italy, London, countless trips to Israel, Japan, I said enough already. I get the point. His voice and his fame is global. He is the caner at the Riverdale Jewish Center. Accompanying him will be a man that has the unique qualifications to accompany a man like the one I'm talking about, who you may have guessed by now is none other than Caner Schnoyer Zman Bongar. And you don't and you don't just snap a finger and say, "Let's see who can I get to accompany me." If you have a voice like Schneider Almond Bogart, you wait and you select and you hope and you arrange and finally you succeed and you get the great and fabled Ellie Lipman. Rejoice and Oh sh Lord.
