Contender:
Nissen Brenenson, 33, married with children.
Residence:
Brooklyn, NY
Occupation:
Education Director, Jewish Children’s Museum.
Musical Aspirations:
If one is able to uplift another by way of his G-d-given abilities, he has fulfilled the purpose for which that ability was given…
Reality Check:
Life takes over (either from within or without). We simply need to sing more!
Favorite Singer:
The earliest albums of Fried, MBD, the choirs…there is a certain simplicity and sweetness there. Also, some of the real sincere and naturally creative voices such as Magama, Yehuda Glantz, Diaspora, Raya Mehemna.
Favorite Song:
One favorite niggun is that of R’ Zalman Zlatopolsker and Forever One (my audition).
A Jewish Star:
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in the fun!
Much appreciation to Rabbi and Mrs. Goldman: you are doing so much for special needs families. Sometimes it’s hard for us to remember that, despite external differences, we are all “part of one whole.” B’ezras Hashem this concert — and Chasdei Soul II Soul organization — will continue to be successful (i.e. collect a lot of money) beyond expectations!

Very nice… as expected from Nissen.
From the zayin of “Oyzen Shomaas”
Definitely better than avraham fried. Just the voice is better. And he sings it with more heart thean stage show singing. Yes, the way he sings it it is a tear jerker. And i’m impressed with the fact that her didn’t need nor feel the need to put on a whole acting production to enhance his singing. His voice just flows. He’s got my vote.
Your classmate Aaron, Jerusalem
Amazing!! keep it up!!
FANTASTIC! I HAD NO IDEA MR. BRENENSON
WAS SO TALENTED!
BEAUTIFUL – ‘A TEAR JERKER’ and Heartrending song!
Heavenly! Sublime!
His father was a very special person. A real neshoma who built a wonderful and caring family that is misasek bitzarchei tzibura.
I don’t like hsi video presentation but his voice is gorgeous- also i LOVE this song!
If my remembrance serves me well, it is a Jewish Star SINGING competition and the videos are not to be a subject of estimation. I completely agree that the honest criticism is much useful and better than the false and fake glorification. Sometimes, it is supportive and encouraging for someone not to spare own unselfish word of kindness, but, anyway, if “…it is not good what is good, but what we like…” And I admit that I AM THE amateur!
But not better than Avraham Fried…..lol
Good luck
I’m finding with all these videos, they’re a lot better, if you listen without looking…..
Just don’t tell me he is an amateur!
not sure why most of you dont think hes that great watch him a few times and you will see he sings the song better then the original!!
You will definitely be part of the top 3,
that was really really outstanding!
hatslocha rabah!
This singer came accross very pleasant and was able to deliver this well known song in his own natural voice and manner.
