Overnight music video

Mrs. Carl and I went to a vort (engagement party) tonight for the second daughter of old friends who just married off their first daughter a few months ago. Hoping for joyous occasions, God willing, by us and by all of you.

Here's a wedding medley sung by Ohad Moskowitz accompanied by the Gershon Freishtat Orchestra (Gershon's father and I go back nearly 40 years). This will give you some idea what an Orthodox Jewish wedding is like for those of you who have never been to one.

Let's go to the videotape.

Labels: Gershon Freishtat Orchestra, Ohad Moskowitz, overnight music video, wedding medley

Name: Carl in Jerusalem

Location: Jerusalem, Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
