Weinstein’s tribute to terror victims

By COLlive reporter

Following his preformance at the finals show of A Jewish Star Season Two in New York, British finalist Menachem Weinstein flew to California to meet up with old pals.

In Granada Hills, a district in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, he spent a Shabbos with the rabbis and students of JETS – Jewish Educational Trade School, where he once learned.

Back in London, the 18 year-old began negotiations with British Chassidic music producer Hershy Ginsberg of Midnight Studios for his debut album to be titled “Return.”

“The album’s message will be returning to our Father in heaven in yiddishkeit and I hope people my age pick up on that,” Weinstein told COLlive.com.

He said he plans on collaborating with young and new artists on the music scene. “Music is how I express myself and I’m looking for others who feel the same,” he said.

Weinstein was also recently invited by the Yeshiva Lubavitch in the Golders Green neighborhood to lead the Adar dancing event, a custom in many Chabad yeshivos.

“Although young, he has a unique voice, his style is interesting and he’s on the right path,” said Shneur Hasofer, aka DeScribe, who hosted Weinstein in iJAM school of music in Crown Heights.

This week, after learning about the brutal murder of the Fogel family in the Israeli village of Itamar, Weinstein added a slideshow of the Fogel family brutally murdered by terrorists in the Israeli village of Itamar to his song “Hear Me Now.”
