Avenu Malkeinu B"H

Dear Rabbi

Thank you so much for your words on Avenu Malkeinu! What a magnificent method you use to make these words not only so clear but meaningful and will be within my thoughts always as I hear and chant along Avenu Malkeinu..and to top it off you did it within a short time. PERFECT! May HaShem continue to give you the 'talent'...the 'brocha' to bring Yiddishkeit into other Jews hearts...thank you very much. Reply
