On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Encyclopedia Talmudit, a unique weekend of Torah lessons and cantorial performances was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Jerusalem. The weekend opened with a special cantorial concert by Yehuda Kalman Productions, with musical arrangements by Rabbi Menachem Bristovsky, who also played the piano. He was accompanied by the famous cantors Yaakov Motzan, Joseph Malovany, Avremi Roth and Zvi Weiss. In honor of the concert, Rabbi Bristovsky arranged two special medleys: A medley of the songs of the Malavsky family and a medley of Carlebach songs, which left a strong impression on the audience. You are invited to sample the concert performances.
