Also my participation at the gala concert in tribute to Maestro Hazzan Naftali Herstik zz”l, with whom I sung in Prague in 2016 this piece he conducted with his students of the Tel Aviv Cantorial Institute.

My lecture on the original organ from Temple times II BCE that demonstrates it’s more Jewish than that it has roots in the Church, as many that oppose its use in Synagogue would falsely argue.
