An uplifting and inspiring evening in preparation for Gimmel Tammuz will take place on Long Island, featuring renowned lecturer Rabbi YY Jacobson and singer Shulem Lemmer.
On Thursday, June 15th at 7pm, enjoy an evening out at the Hakhel Concert at the Playhouse at Hofstra University Hempstead, NY.
The unforgettable evening of powerful words and soul stirring music will enhance your preparation for the auspicious day of Gimmel Tammuz, the Yartzeit of the Rebbe.
The event is being organized by 55 Shluchim at the 40 Chabad Houses on Long Island, who are gathering with their friends and supporters for this evening of meaning. Join them and applaud their efforts to bring the Rebbe’s message to all on this special day.
The first time this has been organized on Long Island, the event will unite the Jewish community across Long Island of all backgrounds and affiliations for an incredible evening of song and spirit.
“We invite the Crown Heights community to join this special Hakhel event, even as the program is geared to the Long Island communities, with Shulem Lemmer and international speaker Rabbi YY Jacobson, it’s sure to be an exhilarating gathering for all,” the organizers said.
Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak (YY) Jacobson is one of the most sought-after speakers in the Jewish world today, lecturing to Jewish and non-Jewish audiences on six continents and in forty states, and serving as teacher and mentor to thousands across the globe.
He is considered to be one of the most successful, passionate and mesmerizing communicators of Judaism today, culling his ideas from the entire spectrum of Jewish thought and making them relevant to contemporary audiences.
Shulem Lemmer is the first Chassidic singer to be signed to a major record album.
Shulem has been intertwined in the life, faith, and culture of the Jewish people throughout their history. Whether it’s prayers, psalms, or contemporary classics, this youthful Brooklyn tenor finds in music something rich and affirming, an endeavor that makes the soul soar and the spirit rise and speaks to the human.
Please make your reservation now for Thursday June 15th, 2023 at the John Cranford Adams Playhouse at Hofstra University. Tickets: $36 per person.
