“I want to personally thank you for our very successful community-wide music celebration. You had the entire assemblage of over 270 people clapping, dancing and singing. There was such ruach in the synagogue; I’d recommend you to any Jewish organization. We WILL bring you back.”  JAN S. BRODIE / EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MERRIMACK VALLEY JEWISH FEDERATION

“With your special talents and modern attitude, you achieved our community’s goal to deliver an educational and musical message of Judaism, humanity and a love for the State of Israel . Your performance uniquely combined Jewish and Zionist spirit with modern music!”  LEOR APPLEBAUM / ISRAELI SHALIACH, SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY

“Several of our teen participants mentioned the Yom Hadash concert as their favorite event this year. For them, the discovery of a cool Jewish band was a revelation. If our biggest question these days is How do we get Jewish teens to reconnect with their tradition and heritage in the age of MTV? Yom Hadash is the answer.”  MAX KLAU / GENESIS AT BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY
