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 Ruby
To Hynda Feit Thank you for being my partner and always available for anything HaZamir!
