"The event hit pure gold with multitalented Mike Burstyn, who dazzled everyone with his brilliant, one-man show. A master showman with a resonant voice and mesmerizing personality, Burstyn's non-stop performance of Yiddish and Hebrew songs and Broadway show tunes, interspersed with hilarious impersonations and meizes (tales), was phenomenal. From his opener of Bashana Ha-ba'ah, to his endition of "My Yiddishe Mame", to his finale of "Hallelujah" and his operatic encore of "Shvigaro"...Burstyn made us laugh, made us sing...and reminded us to be feeling, caring and generous Jews."
