This was a beautiful concert. I do have a thought, a question. I was so moved as I wrote below from Rabbi David's sharing and singing of being a sanctuary for fellow Jews, all people, but also for G-d. Why is it that almost all the Rabbi's I listen to, only speak of the Jewish people and the land of Israel. I think we Jews need more of hearing our rabbis speak about G-d Himself, but this is so rare. So thank you Rabbi David again. You truly fed my soul. I love my people, I love my homeland Israel, but I love my Creator G-d more and truly want to hear Rabbi's talk about Him.
Kudos and salutations to cantor azi schwartz and all present in this wonderful evening of pure love and support for Israel
🇮🇱🎶🇮🇱🎵🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱🇺🇸
Thank you for this post....we continue to pray for Israel, for the Jewish people...for the IDF.....from the Philippines.
amazing from nyc....○●●□■■■□☆
We in Israel cannot sing this Hanukkah nor Christmas. Yes we are grateful within our hearts. But we are mourning with every mourning family. With everyone hostages, with every fallen soldier.
This has been an especially moving program...part of the time I felt as if I were among the group of visitors who had come to show support. I DO SUPPORT ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE! I am an elderly Christian woman on the West Coast and I have been following this horrible situation in Israel since I awoke on Oct 7.
If, after the Horror of World War 2, "Hatred of Jews" has resurfaced as the never dying evil monster it still is, then for certain Western Civilization is in peril ! SERIOUSLY !
That is a word of warning that keeps me up at night. I will probably not live another twenty years but I fear for my grandchildren and the children they will be raising. LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
May God protect all IDF.soldiers.
You’ve got a friend from the southern United States. 💙 Thank You for this beautiful, special, uniting night of light. Peace, Love and Light from a Christian Woman who cares. 💙
Just wonderful
Amen ❤Hashem is the only light this world needs, let us turn to Him with open repentant hearts and bent knees.
My prayers are with you. My new friends. I’m a christian and love you all. No judgment her. My god is your god. I’m happy. To meet you all
You have a friend from Ireland. Slan agus saol agut! Shalom! 🙏
Spread the good in Ireland! We need it. 🙏

We all share the same God. Please let us all stand together side by side to support the prayers for the all the hostages return, both living & dead, so Israel can become one again. And prayers for the victims families
And prayers for the mighty IDF who are delivering peace to the world through the destruction of those who seek to destroy us.
Am Yischa Chai
Thank you again, I watched you last Hanukkah and appreciated even more tonight, your wonderful evening of celebrating light, hope, prayer, and faith in our only One True God, Creator and Author of our Lives. May we give Him our trust and glorify Him each day. May He dwell within each surviving Hostage heart until their return home. May others be resting in His Shalom until ressurection. Amen.
Just beautiful! Thank you!
I just saw this beautiful concert tonight(,extending Hanukkah to a 9th night) I I lived in NYC I'd be at PAS every Shabbat. What a gift to everyone you are for all people of good will! May Israel lead the way to HaShem!
Yeshua came 2000 years ago, to His Prople for just that purpose. And He’s coming again soon, to reign, rule and restore from Yerushalayim.
HalleluYah

God Bless America!
