120 people packed into Rubashkin’s home President Street in Crown Heights to watch the first ever Mamesh Music end of year recital last Wednesday where 40 boys performed on their respective instruments and received their Certificates of Achievement.
The evening began with 1st year students and ‘keyboard ensembles’, followed by the more advanced keyboard and piano students.
The highlight was the Mamesh Orchestra, consisting of 16 students and their teachers performing ‘Bar Yochai’ and Tzemach Tzedek’s Yemin Hashem to the delight of all present.
Both students and parents then got to witness a special performance of the boys’ teachers performing ‘Ashreinu’, ‘Lechatchile Ariber’ and “N’ye Zeritzi’.
After these inspiring moments, a few words were spoken about the Parshah and about the importance of translating every inspiration into positive actions.
The evening closed with gifts of appreciation to the teachers, and the end-of-year certificates given to the students. They all worked hard to learn their instruments and perform so beautifully at this special event.

Teachers’ Performance
The recital marked the end of the first successful year at ‘Mamesh Music’, a new after school program to teach children in Crown Heights to play Nigunim on musical instruments, including piano, flute, drums, violin and guitar.
Mamesh Music also includes a girls’ division. The girls’ first end-of-year recital was last Thursday. It included impressive performances by a guitar ensemble, a violin-keyboard ensemble, and also a special performance by the two girls’ teachers: Mrs. Chaya Mushka Goldstein and Mrs. Dana Pestun.
This summer Mamesh Music will be offering an exciting 3 week summer course for boys in both July and August. Regular classes for boys and girls will be starting with the coming school year.

To 35 – True, but I think you have the wrong article. Just don’t forget in the summer to make sure some of the drinks include electrolytes. Anyways, back to music…
Thanks for the free concert! Nichoach is good, but free concerts are better.
good job
is not bliss. Junk food is a poor choice. Perhaps it is a less expensive choice if handled in a thoughtless way, but with some thought and planning, it can be very cost effective to bring in healthful choices. Maybe you don’t provide the same unnecessary amount, maybe you cut up fruit in pieces, maybe you serve spring water (which is always appreciated by the kid if it’s good quality), maybe you provide homemade items from scratch, maybe, maybe, maybe. Maybe it takes thought, but isn’t it worth it?
Nice one.
It was really nice. Yasher koach. Definitely worth making arrangements to come. Big thank you to Esty for watching my kids.
