You continue to enrich Jewish life through your strong leadership and service to the global Jewish community.
We are inspired by your devotion to Klal Yisrael and share your love for the State of Israel.
May you go from Chayil L'Chayil!

We are thrilled to be honored at this year's always magnificent HaZamir gala concert. 
But, as always, the honors really go to
Vivian and Mati Lazar, who breathed life into the chorale and continue to sustain it and nurture it and enable it to soar above whatever stage they grace with their presence. 
This year, HaZamir rose above the challenge of the aftermath of the October 7 massacre. The rehearsals were uplifting for the singers and the relationships among them helped sustain them through most difficult times. 

Kol haKavod Mati and Vivian!

Much love,  Temma  and Al Kingsley
