Hassidic Music - A lecture recital by Velvel Pasternak

There is no way I can possibly put into words what myself and the Congregation experienced the other night when you were here. For me it was spiritual uplifting; an incredible presentation. You have no idea how this presentation affected this Congregation. They are still raving about it.  It has been called “the best program ever done at Temple”…

You are a man with a very serious purpose who conveys your message with grace, joy and humor. You entertained me, delighted me with your stories and your songs. You showed us how any music in the hands of those who seek it becomes sacred. You helped me appreciate the specialness of those Jews who look so strange to me and live a life so different from mine…

Velvel Pasternak was fabulous!! He makes a program chairman look great. He has great mastery of his subject matter and a humorous, charismatic style of delivery-a winning combination.
