Benny Sings Tribute to His Uncle

Singer Benny Friedman releases brand new video, “Reb Yehoshua Omer.” One of the measures of true greatness is a person’s ability to inspire others to reach for their own greatness.

Rabbi Joshua Gordon, of blessed memory, was a great rabbi and a great teacher. And he inspired Benny Friedman, his nephew, to be a singer. Benny says, “Instead of encouraging me to be like him, he encouraged me to be like me. And he encouraged you to be like you. He wanted us to be the best and finest we could possibly be. He exhorted us To reach for greatness.”

Mr. Daniel Aharonoff is another person deeply and richly inspired by Rabbi Gordon. Daniel has already brought Rabbi Gordon’s message to millions of people by being the catalyst and powerhouse behind Rabbi Gordon’s 1000’s of Torah classes on chabad.org. And now he’s reaching further.

Thanks to Daniel’s enthusiasm and big thinking – the hallmark of a disciple of Rabbi Gordon – we were able to produce this special tribute.

“Here is ‘Reb Yehoshua Omer,’ a song dedicated to my uncle Josh, with the words and the message that he lived by and encouraged others to live by. The keys to life: energetic work and tremendous faith and trust in Hashem,” says Benny Friedman.

“These are words that Rabbi Gordon was told by the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Rabbi Gordon took these words to heart and transformed his life with them. Let us do the same.”
