Fire benefit concert to feature the Moshe Hecht

A concert benefiting a victim of a terrible apartment fire will be held this Mon.

Crown Heights community members helped organize the concert set for Oct. 11th
at the Chabad Loft in the Flatiron District of NYC. The fund-raising show will feature
a rare, intimate, acoustic performance by Moshe Hecht. Billed as a special guest,
Zacharia, a talented songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, will perform as well. He is
coming in directly from Israel and this will be his first-ever NYC public performance.

The fund-raising is the brainchild of Rabbi Saadya Notik, who is the founder of The
Shabbat Society and a dynamic community organizer.

According to Notik’s website, “the proceeds from the ticket sales will go directly to help
Yael recover from the devastating fire that devoured all of her possessions and killed
her beloved cat Sydney.”

“When Saadya asked us to play, I didn’t even think about it,” said Moshe Hecht. “Firstly,
my wife and I are friends with the girl and as with anything that involves the needs of a
community member, it’s nice to be asked to participate. I was encouraged by Saadya
and Zacharia’s eagerness — everybody’s excited to be in this together and it seems like
it’s going to be a big event. It should be a lot of fun and very meaningful as well.”

“People are quick to repeat that a fire is auspicious to bring on wealth,” said Notik. “But
that doesn’t mean we can’t expedite the process.”

“The power of music is its ability to bring people together, move them and motivate
them to do good in the world. We are excited that these artists are donating their
time and talents to be able to help,” said Erez Safar, the founder of Shemspeed, who
volunteered his company’s reach to promote the show.
