Harriet Bennish Professional Vocalist

Last Thursday, I performed for the City of West Hollywood's Yom HaShoah event. I got some lovely comments that I wrote about in my latest blog, plus with a special link to view the concert if you missed it! https://www.harrietbennish.com/honoring-those-who-survived/ #jewish #judaism #jewishlife #shalom #jewishmusic #jewishpeople #jewishcommunity #holocaust #yomhashoah

One of the songs I sing is 'Yisrolik' by Lev Rozenthal of the Vilna ghetto who perished in the Holocaust. His sister Chayala survived. Chayala had two daughters, Nava is deceased and the other, Zola Piatka Shuman and I became friends. Zola, who lives in Cape Town, South Africa is a composer and singer who wrote a beautiful Holocaust Remembrance song called "Hert zich tsu" (We Will Remember You) I introduced Zola to the conductor of the LA Jewish Community Children's Choir, Michelle Green Willner who created an arrangement for her choir. This is an America premiere of Zola's song. https://youtu.be/6G0NZ1kr85g

Truth be told, I never know what I am going to write about until I sit down at the computer and start typing. So much has happened in the last two weeks. Do I talk about the heinous crimes the Asian American community has been subjected to recently?
