On June 1st, 201l the downtown NYC community commemorated Yom Yerushalayim with a Benefit concert for ATZUM at the 14th St. Y. Five extraordinary Hazzanim from the downtown Manhattan area all participated to make this event a great success. It was an evening of sacred and secular music sung by Cantors: Shira Ginsburg (East End Temple), Bat-Ami Moses (The Conservative Synagogue of Fifth Avenue), Shayna Postman (Town and Village Synagogue), Marina Shemesh (The Brotherhood Synagogue) and Faith Steinsnyder (The Village Temple) accompanied by Dan Rosengard on piano and Norbert Goldberg on percussion. Ellen Singer spoke at the conclusion of the concert about ATZUM’s current projects. There were over 100 people in attendance, and raised $5000.00 for the Roberta Bernstein’s Survivors of Terror Project.
