Rabbi Tuvia Bolton played to a packed house at Rabbi Moshe Bleich’s Wellesley-Weston Chabad Center in Massachusetts late last week.

Beginning with a few stories about the concept and importance of saying L’Chaim, Rabbi Bolton proceeded to engage the attendees with guitar-accompanied songs of his own that had everyone clapping and singing along.

Students from Babson, Wellesley, Boston University, and Berklee were joined by shluchim Rabbis Yisroel Freeman (Sudbury), Levi Fogelman (Natick), Mendy Kivman (Milford), Mendy Krinsky (Needham), Shmuel Posner (Boston), Mayshe Schwartz (Brookline) and many business people and young professionals from the community.

Rabbi Tuvia Bolton played to a packed house at Rabbi Moshe Bleich’s Wellesley-Weston Chabad Center in Massachusetts late last week.

Beginning with a few stories about the concept and importance of saying L’Chaim, Rabbi Bolton proceeded to engage the attendees with guitar-accompanied songs of his own that had everyone clapping and singing along.

Rabbi Bolton’s unique combination of Chassidic concepts presented through a modern music style allowed people to quickly identify with the songs through the music first, and then through the content, which otherwise might not have been so easily appreciated.

Rabbi Bolton’s warmth, wit, and lebedikeit made a lasting impression on everyone in the room. The evening was arranged and sponsored by Rabbi Bleich and Rabbi Posner as part of an ongoing series of farbrengens in Greater Boston.

This program was funded in part by the Ufaratzta Endowment for Chabad on Campus.
