A first: an evening of musical entertainment with Nate Rabinovitch was recently enjoyed by 150 people who had a great time listening to Nate's talented voice, accompanied on piano by Sema. Nate and Sema regaled the audience with Broadway hits and Jewish songs for two hours, and a marvelous time was had by all, says Young Israel spokesperson Esther Rosen. "We met many people who had never been at the synagogue before, and they had such a good time that they requested more of the same," Mrs. Rosen explains, adding that the organizers are looking forward to the next Concert of this type.
