Lyrics: הנה ימים באים נאם אדני ה' והשלחתי רעב בארץ לא־רעב ללחם ולא־צמא למים כי אם־לשמע את דברי ה (Amos Chapter 8 Verse 11)
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord
A modern Jewish tradition right after Pesach is to rush to the nearest pizza shop. Our craving for chametz, or leavened bread, seems endless. Even during Pesach, many manufacturers and stores create substitutes that closely mimic chametz, making it hard to distinguish between foods that are kosher for Pesach and actual chametz.
Fortunately, we live in an era of great technological advancements, but perhaps we've lost some important messages along the way. This song was written to remind us that our deep desire for bread should instead be directed toward a yearning to connect with our creator and to immerse ourselves in the profound words of His Torah. Hopefully, we can channel as much enthusiasm into going to the Bais Midrash to learn Torah as we do heading to the pizza shop after Pesach. Wishing you a joyful and kosher Yom Tov!

Rabbi Benzion Klatzko Shabbat Kiddush - Acapella
Composed and performed by Rabbi Benzion Klatzko
Recorded by Yisrael Ament
Each week the Jewish people are commanded to observe and cherish the day of Shabbat. We usher in the day by marking it's holiness through reciting the Kiddush. This is a Biblical commandment, reminding us that G-d Hashem created the world in six days and on the seventh day, He rested. Let us cherish this beautiful day each week with our friends and family.
This version of Kiddush, which Rabbi Benzion Klatzko composed, has been influenced by the tradition of his grandfather, Rabbi Meier Eisemann, who hailed Frankfurt, Germany (and was a member the Frankfurt Synagogue choir before the Holocaust). This is the same Kiddush he sings each week at his home in Monsey, New York. Rabbi Klatzko has been asked many times by his Shabbat guests to record this Kiddush so that they may learn it and share it with their families.

Amen - The Scheiner Experience - Luzy and Meyer Klatzko
Composed by Rabbi Benzion Klatzko
Performed by Luzy Klatzko, Meyer Klatzko
Produced by Benzion Klatzko
Musical Arrangements by Yisroel Ament
Video by Dovid Newman
In order to truly understand Monsey, one simply has to go to the "Scheiner Shul" on 18 Forshay Rd, and experience the warmth and acceptance in this diverse hub of our community.
As a person who has lived in many Jewish communities around the world, we thought that we had seen it all. Cleveland, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, even Yerushalaim.
These are all wonderful communities with vibrant Jewish life. But "Scheiners" (the official name is Ohr Chaim) in Monsey is special. The best way to describe it is, that it feels like the Uman experience year round.
Four large, air-conditioned tents sit on more than a half a block of real estate. Every 15 minutes a new minyan begins. One is immediately struck by the diversity of the Jewish representation that has come to daven together with sincerity and kavanah.
On the premises is a convenience store, a second store for snacks that works on the "trust system" (There is no cashier. You simply take what you want and put the money in a box). A sofer to check and fix tefilin, a Shatnez lab, a beautiful mikveh, a coffee room, and a soup room which always has three or four different kinds of soup for the taking. It is all free. Even the cold bottled water is dispensed freely. Friday is chulent day and each week there are communal meals in the tents for people who have nowhere to eat for shabbos. Shiurim are constantly offered, and the multiple Batai Midrashim are filled with the sweet sound of Torah.
The Klatzko family is proud to live in Monsey! The kindness and passion of the Jewish people shine here in a very unique way!

Gesher Tzar Meod - A True Story - The Klatzko Family
Composed and Performed by Rabbi Benzion Klatzko
Child soloist - Luzy Klatzko
Arranged by Yisroel Ament

Is remaining an Orthodox Jew worth the trouble? Unfortunately, not according to some who have left Torah Judaism, turning their backs on our communities, using their pens and creativity to paint an ugly, clownish picture of Klal Yisroel.
But it was not always so. Many years ago, when keeping shabbos was nearly impossible, employment meant a 6 day work week. Those who chose to keep shabbos found themselves looking for a new job every Monday. Many couldn't withstand this difficult challenge and desecrated Shabbos to feed their families. But there were many that did. Those special people not only sacrificed to keep Torah and Judaism alive within their family, but lived long enough to see their children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren remain devoted and inspired to live true Torah lives.
Rabbi Klatzko, who composed and performed the background track with his son, Luzy, chose to use the words of Rabbi Nachman M’Breslev, “The whole world is a very narrow bridge.” It can be frightening and depressing and often disappointing. But that same bridge gets us from one side to the other safely. It is Torah and Shabbos. This is what we mean when we say “Orthodox.”

Ko Amar - The Rebirth of Israel - Gavriel Klatzko

It is easy to take for granted the breathtaking beauty that is Israel today. This was not always the case.
Mark Twain, one of America’s most important authors, wrote a book about his travels to Palestine in 1867. The pages of his book are filled with disparaging remarks about the ugliness of the land, how barren the hills and valleys were, as if the very land were cursed by the Creator.
Rav Kook relates a beautiful parable. There was a princess known far and wide for her beauty and charm. Kings and princesses from all across the land came to ask for her hand in marriage. One day, a particularly arrogant Prince decided that she was rightfully his. He confidently came to the palace assuming that she would immediately say yes to his good looks and charisma. When the princess heard that this haughty prince was coming to meet her, she decided to make herself appear as unattractive as possible. She messed up her hair and put on her make up in an ugly and haphazard way . When the prince came and saw how unattractive she looked, she immediately turned around and ran away.
A short while later, another prince came to meet her. This young man was known to be kind and thoughtful, a real gentleman with exemplary character. This time, the princess beautified herself in a very attractive way. He ended up asking for her hand in marriage and she agreed.
Rav Kook explains that Eretz Yisrael is like that princess. When pagan nations come to conquer her, all they see is an ugly and fruitless landscape. The country seems so uninviting, and the conquering nation wonders what happened to all of that legendary beauty that they had heard about. Of course Israel is waiting for the Jewish people, her beloved nation, to come back. Now that we have returned, the land is once again the eyes and the heart of the world, with vineyards and orchards, olive trees and orange groves. Let the nations of the world behold that the Jewish people belong in Israel, and Israel belongs to the Jewish people.
I used the words from Yirmiyahu, where Hashem speaks about his love for the Jewish people, how we followed him trustingly into the desert when we left Egypt.
Using these same words, I wanted to stress that the Jewish people came back to Israel the same way, trusting that God will take this holy yet deserted land, and once again allow it to bloom and blossom for the Jewish people.

Leil Shimurim - Benzion and Luzy Klatzko
Performed by Benzion Klatzko and Luzy Klatzko
Composed by Benzion Klatzko
Arranged by Yisroel Ament
A Shabbat.com Production
It's 3:30 AM. The Seder is over.
Years ago, Rabbi Klatzko composed a song to be sung at the very end of the seder (when most of the family and guests are sleeping already)!
It was called "Leil Shimurim" - The Night of Watching.
It goes through some of the key verses in the Torah that describe a magnificent 24 hour period, beginning with the Korban Pesach and ending with the Jewish people leaving Egypt.
Every year the Klatzko family sings this tune, with each of the children singing a different part. It has four parts, with two parts slow and majestic and two parts uplifting and optimistic. May this be the last year we sing this in Galus!

Song of the Four Sons - Luzy Klatzko - Music Video
Performed by Luzy Klatzko and Benzion Klatzko
Song and Lyrics by Benzion Klatzko
Arranged by Yisroel Ament
Video produced and edited by Benzion Klatzko
A Shabbat.com Production
Special Thanks to Shira Freedman and Tzippy Klatzko
Artwork by the amazing Boris Dubrov
Each year on Pesach, we read about the four sons, the wise son, the wicked son, the simple son, and the one who does not know how to ask.
In our generation where confusion and anarchy reign, the narrative and understanding of who these four sons are, has become more complex. Is the wise son as confident as he seems? Is the wicked son truly a bad seed? Is the simple son simply dull? And what kind of child does not have any questions that they are willing to ask?
In our generation, we have witnessed the unfortunate phenomenon of children leaving Judaism and ending up on the streets. All too often this is a result of their parents not understanding each child’s unique personalities as well as the challenges of our technology-obsessed generation.
Rabbi Benzion Klatzko composed this song to remind well-meaning parents that our children’s struggles are unique to them and need a loving and caring hand and heart in order to feel loved and thrive in life and yiddishkeit.
May it be Hashem’s will that we merit to see our children become the best that they can be! As we say in the bracha on Shabbos, may they grow up to be like Ephraim and Menashe! Amen

Kel Maleh - Benzion Klatzko - Music Video
Composed and Performed by Rabbi Benzion Klatzko
Choir - Pinny Schachter
Music Arranged by Yisroel Ament
Song and Video Produced and Edited by Benzion Klatzko
Filmed at Kumzitz Anywhere Studios by Shlomo Mehlman
Video Violinist - Azarya Klatzko

The Kel Maleh Rachamim is a remembrance prayer for the soul of the departed that is recited by a cantor at a Jewish funeral. Additionally, the prayer is recited during the walk up the grave of an individual who has passed away, on days of remembrance for the deceased, and various other occasions or days during which the deceased is mourned, such as his or her death anniversary. For the first time, this holy prayer is composed to a "musical song" rather than a Chazan's (cantor's) chant, with the hope of bringing a sense of majesty and comfort to the memory of those dearly departed.
The striking images in this video of our Jewish brothers and sisters from Poland, photographed in their original color, were shot within three years of the Holocaust. Notice how our ancestors are looking straight ahead at us, as if to say, "Although we are gone, make us proud and live vibrant Jewish lives!" Like a dream, their memories fade in and out, reminding us that a time will come when we will be the past and our grandchildren, our future and legacy. Let us be the best role models we can be!

Fire Ravages Home for Thousands of Jewish People
Rabbi Benzion Klatzko's home suffered a fire 2 weeks ago
Anyone who knows Rabbi Klatzko or has been to his home knows what special people he and his Rebbetzen are.
The Rabbi and Rebbitzen hosts 50 - 80 people for Shabbos nearly every week, asking nothing in return. His home is a home of mitzvos, Torah, joy, and comfort for all who come. Singles, widows, orphans, the downtrodden and abused are all welcomed guests at the Klatzko home.
Please donate to help with initial expenses for getting back off the ground so everyone who benefits from his ahavas Yisroel can soon experience it again.

Torah should be alive and sweet! We were blessed with eight sons, each of them got the privilege of learning gemara in yeshiva. This week, the new zmaan began. What better way to enjoy and appreciate the holy and precious words of our Tanaaim and Amoraim, than through song and dance? Torah is life!
The song is crafted like a "chevrusah shaft" between myself and our 12 year old son, Luzy. The images in the video include three of our sons. Azarya, Luzy and Meyer, along with some scenes of me learning with our oldest grandson, Yonasan Ephraim (and their dog, who is a great listener)!

Life is a journey, a maze with many paths. And with time running out, we try our best to reach the "finish line" with a trail of pleasantness and sanctification of Hashem's name. That is our prayer as composed by Moshe Rabbeinu.
This video depicts images of mazes, paths, and clocks to signify that time is ticking and we must find our path that will be pleasing to our Creator!
