[Music] Walking to half 38 snowing. [Music] I have Judah. It's Gavalik to see you. You always have a smile. I met you like twice or three times. You always have a smile when I see you. Okay. I don't know. You have to ask the people who are really That's why I don't I don't hang around in too many places too long cuz you're saying you move on to the next spot. So we're at Camp Ask. It's like the highlight of the year in America. It's like mom's the show of the year. What what what can we be expecting something that we're looking at professionalism and we're looking also at Hikite together. There's for everything in the world there's a cle there's a vessel the outside of it and then there's ore the light inside. people focus on the the the production and the musicians and the the lights and the screens and the stage and there's a lot of that which is extraordinary but you need to have an or that matches a cle that's worthy of the ore and the or is the the power of Jewish people getting together around an important cause for Israel opening their hearts opening their wallets ding together singing together you know being open to to enjoying in a holy way. That's a time for music. Incredible. So, if you could say in in in Russian kindness. Yeah. The outer light and everything. Yeah. That it's if this is one big mushel, I believe. Imagine what the basis is going to be. The the laser show and the lights and the all the details of a Mishkan, all the proim of safikra, right? Like a production like this takes months and and in and teams. You see many people are working here. It's wild. Like what's going on? Poor music. building a Mishka has so many details. Putting together a production like this, there's so many details ultimately the goal is and I I I believe that uh with some good friends and some pursuing Nissa hit our goal of getting the ball over the goal line for Gula. Amazing. So happy here. Thank you. Thank you. Enjoy. I'm told I'm with the boys from Tas Daily. How do you like that? That's amazing. So, how many hassles have you been? Let's talk Daily. Yes. Let's do it. How many husks have you been to? Um, probably 35, 36. That's incredible. I think I think I've MC or had a role in MCing 35 of them, I think. What's the feeling tonight? Yeah. I think it's a heavy day for uh the Jewish people, frankly. And I think that the weather reflects it. And uh I think people have gotten into the frame of mind where where our hearts, especially tonight with so many guests from Israel, our hearts are in Israel, but we're going to enjoy this evening. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. So, there's a lot of love for H, a lot of love for the Jewish people in the room. And uh I hope that the show reflects that. Incredible. Could you give us one specific thing that like when when you think H, you think of that person or that place in time? When I think H and Rabbi Stern's going to remember this, I spent Shabas at H and I asked where this kid was, this counselor that uh was from my neighborhood. I didn't see him the entire Shabas and they said he was sitting with his camper who was quarantined the entire Shabas. Wow. I said, "Wow." If that doesn't tell you exactly, by the way, that is Hask. And they do it gladly and they do it with tremendous love and they do it with conviction and they do it knowing that they would do it again a million times. It's really uh a tremendous level of facet. Incredible. I want to leave off one thing to us youngsters. You can't have H without Wow. It's just part of Make sure to mention that to the crew back here. Seagull equals H. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Let's talk clas fellas. So before we even start, you're a legend. And you're a legend on this stage. Thank you so much. It's always nice to hear but uh I'm just trying to do my job. How many? Hit the right notes. How many asks have you been to? Uh numerous ask. I don't really know the exact number but in the beginning many years in the beginning I was there that it was a long time of traveling and stuff I wasn't here but I'm glad to be back. Incredible. And is this true that Gala is your nephew? Yes. Garovski, the legend. Incredible. Yes. Okay. We're looking forward to the show. Thank you. And just keep up what you do. Yes, absolutely. Thank you so much for talking to us. Yes. The tas daily is gileus. You know, how many times have you been at H? Um, I think it's my second time being at H. And what's the feeling? What does H mean to you? Um, it's an opportunity to get out of your little like sphere of influence and how you do things and enter a world of, you know, a bigger vision. uh you know a stickle fancier vision and and a division where so many yen can come together and connect and uh and all for the sake of of of fundraising for for H that does beautiful beautiful work. Um so I've been at H the camp many times but the H concert twice I think it's the second time. So yeah, when I come to ask, I just think of like the Mishbah coming together with the artists that people feel like, you know, it's like a household name, you know, people and I'm humbled that we became such a thing that people, you know, that like we're one of those names at me and but it's special to be here amongst people who are even if we're not. Yeah. Incredible. And I'm assuming that growing up H was like a thing in your house. Maybe it wasn't, but I think it was. Um, we're out of towners, so I don't know if They had the silver. That was exactly as big of a deal. Okay. But in general, I think I think the tapes probably the tapes went on, right? There's tapes from Master probably. Yeah. Isn't it like wild for you? Like Joar, MBD, you know, AB daddy and now like you're on that stage. Isn't that incredible? Yeah. I just I guess I think of it maybe a little different than most people. Like to me, my my family wasn't as like, you know, in the know of all the cool things happening in Jewish Worlds cuz we're, you know, Silver Spring, not New York. But I love that. But for me, it's just uh I just think of it almost a little bit as an outsider. Like it's just you're coming in. Yeah. To be a part of something which has a story, which has uh which has a history, which has, you know, a a record, a record, like a longstanding. I think of it as almost like the Grammys of like the Jew of the I literally was going to say so finally the amazing how you doing amazing okay thank you so much so what's the tas what's the t of to you the t of to me is that people are coming and donating to this amazing organization and they're getting like you're saying the Grammys of Jewish music this is like this is the show of the year in America At least other places have other channels, but like H is like the OG, you know? Yeah. So, uh you're mixing the Pius, the Katinus. I'm getting an incredible. We were speaking to Rab Judah before the R. You're looking for the R the R the R the light or the or the or like not the lights and the the realities. And the light comes from gathering 3,000 yen together is like a big deal, you know, 100%.

We had so many singers and people the music brought besides the tears it brought people's heart to just being closer and of course my father that his song Well, there's no there's no one day that we're not singing it or hearing. Even now in backstage with Yonathan, Razel and Shui were we were singing Aenu. So I think that Bmet it's coming from a deep deep heart and we are here because it's a an amazing place and h are teaching all of us what is and how to do and yes my father loved this place and he came here year after year and the memories and me as a kid growing up with knowing what's and the songs and everything is something very special and we don't want to forget it.

Let's talk about him. Let's talk about him. Backstage at H. What does Hask mean to you? It's beautiful. It means that it's the happiest place on earth. Literally. Literally. It's the It's the [Music] leadership Judah. It's the staff that have their heart and soul in the kids. It means that it's the happiest place on earth because it's made by the people the happiest place on earth. It's all you make of it and they make amazing amazing things. Have you been to the camp?

How many times have you been to ask? This is my second time. What's the feeling? The feeling is wild. It's a big It's a very big production. Most of the things we're doing is just like it's our show and it's our event and this is an event with so many people involved. It feels like an ammy event, you know? It's like wow. This guy's singing for 5 minutes, we're singing for 5 minutes. So much goes into 5 minutes of of of production. Incredible. Where did you grow up? Tene, New Jersey. Was ask a thing for you as a child, as a kid growing up? No, not really. Not really. And now you're on the stage? Yes. Wild. I mean, to be honest, I think for me, it's a it's an empowering thing to be here because the Yidden are so colorful and they're so different from one to the next. It's part of what makes the Yidden so special is that we're so diverse and so connected at the same time. It's one thing we have billion people. This guy's different than the next guy, obviously. We have like a small it's like the Jewish community is not a 02% of the world and we are all different and we can tolerate each other. So to me my white sneakers is like you know they let someone like me with white sneakers on stage. I love it. Times are changing. Incredible. Now just one more point. When I first heard of you guys, it was more like our brain soulful style. And then now we're like segueing into more like like DJ vibes and like like EDM dance music. Are you guys doing both? You're switching and changing. You're I think the Fabanga never stops. I love it. It's a continuation of the fabang. And for us, like was saying before, Hashem has no one particular image. And for us to get stuck into one thing, it's not it's not kadusha. Some people get they think because they put the last five albums out in one style, the sixth album because everyone's expecting it should sound like something. But I think for us, what's what's exciting for me in Schlommo is that we're constantly pushing each other to do something that nobody's expecting. Not I'm expecting, not he's expecting. And so that Mashiah to me it's Mashiah energy. It's like Mashia is the energy that no one is expecting, but everyone's waiting for it. Incredible. So thank you so much. Iraq and the Msiah energy to unmay. [Music] Good. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Yeah. [Applause] Heat. Yeah. Heat. [Applause] You sang here last year. Yes. Yes. Killed it last year.
