The Jewish Russian Community Centre (JRCC) will host a landmark community concert on March 19, 2026, at Meridian Hall, bringing together world-class Jewish music and a powerful celebration of community, leadership, and gratitude.
The evening will feature an extraordinary lineup of artists, Avraham Fried, Akiva, and Amir Dadon, performing together with the Mendy Hershkowitz Band for one unforgettable night of music and inspiration.
Beyond the music, the March 19th concert, produced by Apex Creatives, has been designed as a meaningful tribute to the people and values that have shaped the JRCC community for decades.
Celebrating 45 Years of JRCC
For 45 years, JRCC has played a transformative role in strengthening Jewish Russian life across the Greater Toronto Area. This milestone reflects a legacy of growth, resilience, and connection while looking ahead to the generations who will continue to build and carry the community forward.
Honoring Rabbi Zaltzman’s 70th Birthday
The evening will also honor Rabbi Yosef Zaltzman on the occasion of his 70th birthday, recognizing a lifetime of visionary leadership, spiritual guidance, and enduring influence on the JRCC community. His dedication and personal commitment have helped shape a vibrant and thriving Jewish presence across the region.
Donor Recognition Night
This special celebration is dedicated to honoring the generosity of the donors whose partnership has made JRCC’s mission and growth possible. Their ongoing support continues to strengthen programs, expand outreach, and ensure a strong and sustainable future for Jewish life in Toronto.
Volunteer Appreciation Night
The concert will also serve as a heartfelt expression of gratitude to the volunteers whose dedication and commitment bring JRCC’s mission to life every day. Their time, compassion, and leadership are the foundation upon which the community continues to grow.
Event organizers shared: “This concert brings the entire JRCC story together in one powerful evening – the music that unites us, the leadership that inspires us, and the community of donors and volunteers who make everything possible. It is a celebration of where we started, how far we have come, and the future we are building together.”
Together, these four pillars – legacy, leadership, generosity, and service – form the heart of the Nitzotzot concert, creating a night that honors the past while looking forward with strength and optimism.

Heartfelt Mazal Tov to dear Rabbi Zaltzman! May you have many more years of life full of nachas and gizundt, ad 120! Zaltzmans are amazing, they really “walk the talk”, very sincere and genuine. We are so lucky to be part of such wonderful community, where chassidishkeit is taught by example with love and care.
