Yosef Karduner, world famous musician and performer, will be coming to Crown Heights this motzei Shabbat (Saturday, October 27). The event will begin at 8:30 PM and will take place a the former home of Chevra Ahavas Yisroel on 1349 President Street.

Entrance fee will be ten dollars, with an eighteen dollar suggested donation.

Last year, Karduner played for a packed house in the same location. It received largely positive reviews and due to the demand, a new show was arranged to occur this year.

The event is being organized by Menachem Reich and Elad Nehorai. Attending musicians will include Yudi Simon, NightOwls, Yaakov Robin, The Shop, Ta Shma, and many more. Refreshments will include sushi from Sushi Spot, pastries from Gombo’s bakery, and wine from Wine by the Case.

Featured in the venue will also be art from the Creative Soul, an arts organization headed by Yitzchok Moully.

Karduner, known for his stirring melodies and legendary musical skills, is on a tour of the United States. His most famous song is Shir Lamaalot, a song he composed after his daily ‘hitbodedut.’ The song has been covered by the likes of Lipa and Yishai Lapidot.

  • LEARN FROM HIM!

    We must learn from musicians like Yosef Karduner. He is an accomplished musician, a true Baal Teshuva, yet he does not find it necessary to dress “artsy, or funky”. In juxtaposition, we have musicians in Lubavitch, who were born into Chassidishe families, (some of who’s parents are shluchim… ) yet they need to “express themselves and confirm their individuality” by dressing in a garb which in their perception, identifies them as “serious musicians”. If you believe that your art (whatever form) has intellectual depth, artistic quality, and a message, and believed in this message, you would have the self efficacy and confidence to dress as a Lubavitcher Chossid. Black hat and yarmulka, conservative dark suit or blazer/trouser coordinates, light colored shirt, untrimmed beard, etc…
    And before I am dismissed as a “Chenyuk”, I’ll have you know that I am a musician, college graduate, grew up modern orthodox, have done my soul searching (…), and finally found myself dressed as a traditional Lubavitcher Chossid.
    I found that not-yet-observant individuals are impressed and inspired to strengthen their religious connection, seeing a musician or artist dressed as a Chossid, rather than dressed as a “wannabe”.
    Please think, and reread your comment, before shooting back. I read mine 10 TIMES.
