(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.

After introductions by HASC Chairman Miles Berger welcoming us to this year’s show, he introduced the MC of the evening, Nachum Segal.
