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

To Hynda Feit

Thank you for being my partner and always available for anything HaZamir!

 

Once again, your work on behalf of HaZamir

and especially HaZamir Israel,

has been invaluable.

HaZamir keeps Jewish Unity and

love for Israel alive through music,

as it creates the future of

Jewish Choral Singing.

 

Thank you to Temma and Al for your ongoing support and

to Mati and Vivian for their visional leadership.
