Gershon Veroba’s First Album Now Digitally Restored

40 years ago, Gershon Veroba was still new in the Jewish Music business, but already singing and playing multiple instruments since childhood. He needed a solo album, but with no outside financial or production help, his only choice was to produce and perform it all on his own at his friends studio in their hometown of Mamaroneck, NY.

The equipment could only record up to 16 tracks, still in an era before digital sampling or editing, so GV only had 16 places to record instruments and vocals by himself. Since 2” analog tape was expensive, the album was recorded on two used reels, left behind 10 years before at Jimmy Hendrix’s Electric Lady studios by singer B.J. Thomas.

The result was his debut solo album, "Man To Man.” With musical influences ranging from Dan Fogelberg and Dr. John and Carlebach and Israeli pop, Gershon brought styles like none before or since to the Jewish world. The album was recognized immediately by industry insiders and inspired a growing circle of fans, including major producers and performers of the future.

It was released on LP and cassette Chanukah, 1982 and never touched again, until now. Over the last few decades, the “Man To Man album was gradually digitized, re-edited, restored and repaired, rescuing tracks from tape that is now 50 years-old.

This past year, those tracks were finally sent to Los Angeles, where engineer Michael Jon Stern remixed it in streaming collaboration with Gershon.

The new, definitive “Man To Man - Anniversary Digital Edition” album is now complete, ready for download starting December 1st, 2022 from all online stores and on the new gershonveroba.com website. Pre-ordering starts November 1st. For all further information & contact, go to gershonveroba.com or email town6corp@gmail.com

Parents of Terror Victim Make Request from Klal Yisroel

Update: Parents and Yeshivah of terror victim, Habochur Aryeh Schupak HY'D make request from Klal Yisroel

Grief. One word. Many meanings.

It means bereavement. It means anguish. It means pain.

And yet, all those terms are understatements of what Aryeh’s Schupak’s family is going through now. 

The devastation of losing a child who left for yeshiva and will never come back home is not something that can be imagined. The piercing sound of parents crying over their son, who they will never see again is not something that words can articulate.

Unfortunately, we can’t bring Aryeh back, but we can make sure that the sweet 16-year-old who was killed Al Kiddush Hashem will be constantly remembered, and by doing that, we can give a drop of Nechama to his family and friends who are desperately seeking it at the moment. 

Aryehs Yeshiva, Yeshivas Harei Yehuda, want to fundraise for two things at the moment.

The two foundations of any yeshiva. 

The Torah and the bachurim. 

Yeshivas Harei Yehuda, invite you to take part in writing a Sefer Torah lelui neshmas Aryeh.

A Sefer Torah that will be used often and will cherish Arye’s memory and continue his derech. The derech he chose for himself as a yeshiva bachur who took his learning seriously and was killed Al Kiddush Hashem on the way to learn Torah.

Unfortunately, Aryeh’s friends are suffering immensely from the sudden loss of their dear friend and need therapy. 

The yeshiva needs to provide therapy for their teenage students but doesn’t have the funds to do so, and the bachurim will not be able to “move on,” so to speak, without the therapy they desperately require.

Mendel Roth - A Longing Song for Mama Rachel

״את השיר הלחנתי בבית מדרש חסידי באשדוד״, מספר ראטה. ״למדתי את הפסוק בפרשת ויחי, ׳ואני בבואי מפדן ארם מתה עלי רחל בדרך׳, עם המנגינה המרגשת שנהוג לשיר עליו עם תינוקות של בית רבן, ובעיני רוחי ראיתי את יעקב אבינו מספר בדמע לבנו יוסף על האהבה הגדולה שרחש לאמו. נזכרתי שגם אני מבקש לאהוב את האחת והיחידה. ושם בבית המדרש נולד השיר, שמדבר על אהבת יעקב לרחל, על געגועיי לאהובתי הנסתרת ממני, ועל געגועי הבורא לכנסת ישראל״.

Nigun Shabbos v’Yom Tov with Eli Marcus

Recorded live at the Chabad Kinus Hashluchim last week.

“A-BBA!” He Cries- Breaks My Heart Each Time Anew

“A-BBA!” he cries in a high-pitched voice that breaks my heart each time anew 

In my worst nightmares, I never dreamed where life would take me.

We were a perfect, happy family. So happy, so close.

We didn’t have much, but we were happy with what we had.

The first wave of Covid caught us, like so many others, unaware.

We lived through lockdown, through loneliness, through repeated quarantines.

But we had each other.

Our financial situation fluctuated, but there were so many others in the same boat that we just hoped and prayed that we’d get past it.

We never imagined that we’d be struck by the worst of all.

It started with a light cough that worsened. We weren’t worried at first. 

Didn’t almost everyone get corona and pull through? And my husband was young and robust.

But the cough worsened, and before long, he was hospitalized. 

It was only a matter of days before complications set in.

His condition deteriorated fast. So fast that we were entirely unprepared when the news came.

He was gone. We were now alone.

Shock. Heartbreak. Devastation. Ineffable grief.

From a happy loving wife and mother of two darlings, I became a widow of two tiny orphans.

I had little choice but to collect myself, pick up the fragments of my shattered world and try to offer my little ones an illusion of stability.

Not long after that, Russia invaded our home in Ukraine.

Like everyone, I was sure that it would be a matter of days, weeks maximum.

Yet as the days dragged by, we began experiencing what it meant to live in hell.

My children woke up screaming at night. Every slight noise made them jump. 

Every night the nightmare grew worse.

Message in The Name Yosef

A short excerp from a talk by the Lubavitcher Rebbe ZY"A.

Rochel Imeinu named her son ‘Yosef,’ as a prayer: “May Hashem add to me a different son.” The lesson to our G-dly service: Our mission is to transform "different" into "son" - bring the unaffiliated into the G-dly fold.

I’m Reaching Out to You to Save My Son’s Life!

I’m reaching out to each and every one of you with a desperate, tearful cry to save my son’s life!

Every kid complains once in a while that their bones hurt,

and what do we, as mothers, say?

“It’s just growing pains.

“Baruch Hashem, you’re growing, and soon you’ll be taller…”

This is what I found myself telling 5-year-old Mendy a few times too many when he complained that his left knee was hurting.

In the beginning, I told him that it would pass, and before we knew it, he’d be taller than me!

We shared a laugh, and he wandered off, content.

The next morning, he came down with fever. I gave him Tylenol, and he stayed home from school.

His fever persisted the next day, along with what obviously excruciating pain in his leg. Growing pains are rarely excruciating, so I promised him that when his fever went down, we’d have a doctor check out his knee. I didn’t think that the symptoms could be connected.

“But Mommy, it really, really hurts!” he cried and rolled up his pants leg with a spasm of pain. “Look!”

I looked, and my eyes widened in horror. This was really no laughing matter; his knee had swollen to twice its normal size.

We rushed to the emergency room, where they ordered standard blood tests. Standard tests, with far-from-standard results.

The look on the doctor’s face said it all. Our world had come crashing down on us.

Mendy had a malignant growth in his knee that had already metastasized all the way to his lower and upper stomach area…

The irony struck me much later. I was so sure that he was suffering growing pains, and now, what were his chances of growing up at all?

Mendy started chemo and radiation on the first day of Chol Hamoed Succos. From a beautiful child with golden hair and sparkling blue eyes, he faded into a mere shadow. His eyes are sunken, his skin is so pasty and yellow, it’s almost translucent. His golden peyos, along with every hair on his head, are gone. He doesn’t recognize himself in the mirror…

I barely recognize my child either. Every time I look at him, my heart breaks again.

It’s been several weeks since we’ve started treatment. We spent the last three Shabbosos with Mendy in the hospital, and our house is falling apart. We’ve both taken leaves of absence from work, because one of us has to be available in the hospital 24/7, and someone else has to be home for the kids!

We’re living in the hospital, subsisting on bikur cholim meals, because we can’t afford food! Our bills are piling up and our debts are choking us.

The doctors are recommending a specific treatment that will hopefully prevent further metastasis, but we aren’t making ends meet on a daily basis. How will we cover the costs of surgery?!

I’m reaching out to each and every one of you with a desperate, tearful cry to save my son’s life!

From one mother to another mother, from one parent to another parent! From one Jew to another!

We just want our Mendy to grow up…

We just want Mendy to live!

Don’t turn away from our cry!

Don't Deviate: Inspiration with R' Shea Rubenstein (Ep.19)

When I was 12-years-old, I was in 770 Eastern Pkwy. davening mincha when the Lubavitche Rebbe, zt"l, walked in. He gave me a nickle and instructed me to put it in the pushka.

My first thought was to keep the coin as a souvenir for meeting the Rebbe, and place another nickle in the pushka. But then the Rebbe said something that taught me a valuable lesson: I want you to put that coin in the pushka.

This taught me that when given a task, we must not deviate. We must bed direct and take care of it. When you are a shaliach, you must complete the task at hand and dont take it upon yourself to make changes

Ostrich on the Loose

November 24, 2022. Taber, Alberta, Canada.

From the author : "Multiple ostrich birds escaped (about 20) and were roaming the streets and outskirts of Taber Alberta! I was working at the time when I noticed 2 RCMP vehicles as well as the owner trying to chase down the ostrich I spotted on the highway. It happened early afternoon on November 24, 2022. They ended up capturing him and later caught the rest of them and got them back home safely after hours of wrangling the birds."
