Passover Entertainment

Inspired by the Torah and by his daily life as an observant Jew, Yehuda humbly follows in the footsteps of the menagnim - singers of his people's songs - who have come before him. He generously shares his gifts and talents with all of Klal Yisrael: the sweet voice, the savvy timing, the love for his audience. His songs touch the pulse of yearning deep within every Jew.
