On May 21st, 2009 in celebration of “Yom Yerushalayim”, the Conservative Synagogue of Fifth Avenue hosted a benefit concert for ATZUM featuring internationally acclaimed musician Andy Statman. It was a successful and delightful evening filled with inspiration and magnificent music. Hazzan Bat-Ami Moses introduced the evening with Psalms and an overview of ATZUM’s powerful impact on Israeli society. Rabbi David Gaffney shared words of the significance of “Jerusalem Day.” For the next hour the sold out house was blessed with two sets of music featuring the genius of Andy Statman‘s clarinet and mandolin. He was accompanied by two superb musicians, Larry Eagle on percussion and Jim Whitney on bass. The evening closed with Rabbi Levi Lauer’s comments on how meaningful and important our support in the States is to the work of ATZUM and its projects assisting Israeli survivors of terror, banishing human trafficking from Israel and honoring those Righteous Among the Nations who live in Israel. We thank all of our supporters and contributors for making this event so special and successful!
