When you want to be on Broadway but your parents force you to go to Yeshiva... this is just amazing!

[TerryGreiss]

Most fun I've ever had at a Bat Mitzvah - and I wasn't even there. What a great gift.

[esanders]

I once heard a Rabbi say that you can sing Adon Olam to any melody. It's true and how lovely!

The look of delight and sheer bliss on Zooey’s face is priceless... What a memorable Bat Mitzvah Azi helped her to have...

[JodiSchwarzl]

I am so happy I found this. It makes me want to move to NY just to join this Synagogue. The joy this bought to the chapel and omg the Cantor's voice is amazing. Zoe's special day in her life will be shared by the world for years to come. Thank you Zoe and have a great Sweet 16 too.

The joy on this young lady's face is awesome and never gets old!

Have heard Adom Olam to many, many tunes. This was is far the best.

[KaylaPearlCPNinja]

Proof that Adon Olam can be sung to almost any song, including songs from the musical Hamilton.

Oh my goodness, this is amazing! And that cantor can SING!

I just came downstairs (10AM) and was feeling so defeated by what's happening to America -- then a friend emailed ur video and I felt so lifted up!!! I am a New Yawker - and worked for Hilton Intl. at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel (Park Ave) many years ago. So I was touched even more. WOW!!!

[adamlevy]

This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

[phoenixgirl]

As a Jewish woman and a huge Hamilton fan - THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!!

[robertbilling]

Sometimes I really wish I'd been born Jewish. I love your music and your way of life. Shalom!

[jeremielendo]

My very dear Cantor Avi Schwartz you bring to me gladness, hope and force as you cannot imagine yourself. Thank you very much. May Adonai bless you forever.

This film is really making my day!
I am sooo happy for this beautiful girl, growing up, being surrounded by so much loving support from her community and this is how life should be!!
Young girls, our pearls of life, need to be protected and surrounded by love, encouragement, and so they can grow!
I wish all the world would treat the young girls like this!

God was so right to point out the Jewish to be example for the rest of the world!
So like this here, in this film, we all should surround with love and wisdom, our young girls!!!

Gorgeous and lucky Zoe. I hope Lin-Manuel Miranda listens. At his wedding he and the wedding party performed "To Life" from Fiddler on the Roof.

[pennysmith]

Zoe is just beaming! How much she will remember the day!

I haven't been to shul in 15 years, since I quit my job as Education Director at a Conservative synagogue! Just watching this brief video stirred something in my heart. Maybe now I can overlook all the ugly things and disappointments I experienced, and go back to join the community. Thank you for posting this lovely video! Ani Modah lecha.🙂
