The only thing that matches his beautiful voice is his beautiful character – and the beautiful example he sets for younger dreamers… and his sense of humor …. and his profound humility…. he rocks!!

NOTHING

Any ways, i enjoyed the video cuz I love the song yesh tikvah!

Such chillers

Yay Benny!

Keep up the good work!

powerful wedding!

Never the less that wedding was so powerfu! From the very begininng of kabolas ponim until the very end of dancing. Whata zchus to be part of that sincha! These two are packed with real powerful, sincere kedushas Hatorah. Nothing will ever stop them from simchas hamiyzvos, not a power outage or galling of the table they contimues non atop the entire night. I aspire to be like them. Such a special blend of midos they have!
Moshiach now!

Realistically it was because the crowd just couldn’t sing Yesh Tikvah.

Secondly, I don’t see the “segue” you refer to.

But it was nice to hear people sing right away.

GO YOSSI COHEN!!!!!!

Great performer and not embarrassed to wear his hat and jacket.

He is a great role model for our kids. Benny shows that following your dreams doesn’t mean you have to fry out.

I agree

Benny sing more Niggunim at weddings, and orchestras, write new arrangements to make it easier for singers to sing Niggunim.

(By the way, ain’t nobody sing Nigunim like Benny. Like his uncle Abe, he does it right.)

I was there

This video clearly shows how the CH crowd is more hungry for Chabad music that your local Chabad pro singer/band leader would have you believe. As soon as the electricity cuts, the crown segues into Didon Notzach…

lubavitch is alive!!!!!

best music ever!

old wires
December 23, 2012 6:58 pm

I’ve seen the electricity blow in OT quite a few times, but the dancing actually gets stronger – as long as they solve the problem within a minute or two…

Good Job!!!
December 23, 2012 6:39 pm

Nice going Yoni and Benny!!!! You have a big Zchus!!!
