  • An incredibly intereesting performance and a splendid setting. I wonder why it was necessary to utilize wireless microphones and speakers, since to my ear, the resonances in the Ann Hamilton Tower seem well suited for normal vocal performances, not to mention instrumental offerings. Incidentally, Cantor Reuben Rinder was at Temple Emanuel in SF when I was bar-mitzvah and had been there when my father, Milton Links, was bar-mitzvah, way back in 1918. A great tribute, indeed!

  • Nice job........
