Reb Yonah,

Thanks for the invite. I got some friends down in the LBC that I can see while I’m there. But not this weekend. I’m off to Israel on Monday for 2 weeks.

So Long Beach Hillel is where all the watermelon lovin chicks are at? Why am I in Santa Barbara..Besides for the weather, beach, exorbitant rent, apathetic people, lack of culture.

Rabbi Yonah, I am with you on this one. Shloymeleh was more than just a good musician who wrote hundreds of inspiring niggunim. He was a great jew who infused Torah to many people around the world and not only in his generation as his music and his stories keep moving and help people eleveta themselves.
Sure thank G-d for rapper frm C.H. He is great musician or at least a lot of people love him but as far as the jewish musicians we have more talented performers. And my humble self prefers YIdcore to the Chasidistafarian.
TM, who much you pay per hour?

Married people should not be allowed out in public. They get to go out so rarely that before you know it they’re making a spectacle of themselves and the rabbi has to intervene. Keep them in their cage and throw them peanuts.

The Happy Minyan that organizes the annual event as a fundraiser tries very hard to be inclusive. So there are some slow bands, some faster bands, some more way out some more traditional-shlomo, and of course there were a bunch of speeches. They were sweet but a tad too long. Encino… Were you there for the start of the concert? DId you hear us play? You can hear some of the music from the first set at my website.

We had a wonderful time playing the audience was really into singing and clapping with Reb Shlomo’s music. It was not about a lifestyle, or about a movement, and I strongly disagree about things running out of gas.

Things have changed. Reb Shlomo has permeated Jewish spiritual culture now. His music, approach, and torah have had a lasting influence on just about every stripe of Rabbi and Jewish musician. Reb Shlomo’s influence is not in concentrated form, but has become ubiquitous.

And if you are looking for a shidduch, a watermelon loving Jewish gal, might I suggest you come for a shabbos meal at our house? We look forward to meeting you.

Thanks for the recap EY. Sometimes hidden deep within the most capitalistic pig of a women is her hot inner hippie chick. It’s just that she can’t earn a living in corporate America.
