Overnight music video

This past week, we lost 97-year old Rabbi Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz, the Rosh Yeshiva (head) of the Ponevich Yeshiva Ktana (yeshiva for high-school age boys). Although none of my children went there, my Rebbe did, and said that he remained in contact with Rabbi Lefkowitz zt"l (May the memory of the righteous be blessed) more than fifty years later. One of my sons told me that Rabbi Lefkowitz was reputed to remember the names - both first and last - of each of the thousands of students who passed through his halls over the years he headed up Ponevich.

Here's Yaakov Shwekey singing Tzadikim (Righteous Ones). Let's go to the videotape.

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.
