(By Yossi Zweig, Photos by Chaim Tuito) This past Sunday night, history was made yet again as Camp HASC celebrated their 38th annual A T.I.M.E. For Music Concert at NJPAC. Thousands gathered to see the best in Jewish music in a show produced by Shloime Steinmetz of Pivot Marketing. Shloime actually had a daughter born literally hours before the famed concert began. Like the previous shows, Steinmetz produced, there was a creative opening number that started with an amazing lights show. With an array, they separated and broke apart into several pieces. After introductions by HASC Chairman Miles Berger welcoming us to this year’s show, he introduced the MC of the evening, Nachum Segal. After discussing the importance of the day, mainly the three hostages released and how we hope to see all of them returned to their families, Nachum mentioned the glow in the dark wristbands by each seat. These wristbands would be synced to a wider system making them light up and blink at the same time. It would be an interactive part of the evening’s performances. The overture began with the Freilach Orchestra playing, along with a young boy featured on the monitor amidst the noise and hustle and bustle of NY. Each of these “noises” combined to make the world famous HASC theme intro, composed by Yisroel Lamm 38 years ago. The visual finished with the young man on stage holding a conductor’s wand, conducting the Freilach Orchestra. Now it was time for the show to properly begin. Opening the performances was… Eli Schwebel. Eli is a mega talented star and humble person. Three years ago, he produced a video for HASC titled This Is We. The song was a cover of the popular track “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman. It was a great start, with a song all about HASC and how each camper is special. It was a truly emotional performance. Eli then invited his father, Rivie Schwebel, to join him for the next medley. The set was classic HASC songs from throughout the years, including; In A Vinkele, Habeit, Uvnei and Lomer Take Zoche Zein. Father and son’s voice blended beautifully in perfect harmony. We were off to a good start. The video voiced by Nachum Segal himself, let us know who the next performer was. Benny Friedman came out performing his latest hit and the first song off his upcoming new album, titled “Thinking About Thanking. Benny was joined by dancers in construction uniforms with hard hats. The audience was eating it and Benny’s vocals were stellar like always. Benny then invited Eli Schwebel back to the stage to perform a HASC English Medley including Who Am I, Candles, and Small Piece of Heaven. Amazing classics penned by Abie Rotenberg, performed masterfully by Friedman and Schwebel. With Eli leaving the stage, Benny looked at the monitor when this wheel of musical styles appeared. Benny was telling us that music is a universal language, and this next song is a perfect example of that. It became a global phenomenon with a message who relates to all the people of the world. So tonight, Benny thought we would have a little fun. Instead of performing it as is, let us leave it to the luck on the draw and let the wheel […]
