  there are no words to describe this. Avrahm Fried is as good as always, but the older man who sings, together with his story is something else. Required Viewing!!

• Timelesss Moment

  absolutely beautiful.
  The energy of the concert comes right off the screen.
  And Jacob Koltan’s story, and his singing – well, it pulled at my heartstrings. Gilui yechida sheb’nefesh.
  Thank you for sharing this with us.

  Actually, the best part was yet to come. Later in the concert the holocaust survivor got up, and walked to the stage. Avraham Fried motioned to the band to stop the fast song they were playing immediately. Avraham then gave the mic to Mr. Koltan and let him sing to his heart’s content. It was so classy and sincere. It was so incredible and a truly beautiful concert much due to Avraham Fried’s incredible energy and talent, and the respect given to Mr. Koltan. Yashar Koach.

• awesome evening

  What an incredible evening !The music was another beautiful expression of the learning and growth that took place all weekend. Every person in the audience was totaly involved in the music and its message. Kudos to Avraham Fried, his humility and sincerity in sharing the limelight (all night, not just for a short while) went beyond respect, true ahavas yisrael.
  Thank you JLI that was a night to remember !

  Our wonderful friends, The Epsteins, who were at the Concert sent us this fantastic video. We are in Israel & to see Jews really being moved emotionally & spirtually during these days before Yom Kippur can only mean that we truuly very close to Mosiach.
