American Jewish singer Benny Friedman will take the stage to raise awareness and funds for Tomchei Shabbos of Middlesex County and Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva (RPRY). Friedman will headline the show, with a special performance by Yitz Henkin. The concert will take place at Highland Park High School on North Fifth Ave. in Highland Park, New Jersey, on Saturday night, December 15. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. All proceeds for the concert will benefit the many families who receive much-needed food through Tomchei Shabbos and RPRY.

Tickets for the concert are available for sale now at http://tomcheimc.org/benny-friedman-concert-2018/

Friedman is a chasidic Jewish singer who is popular in the contemporary Jewish music scene. Some of his most popular songs are Ivri Anochi and Yesh Tikvah. Singing mainly in Hebrew, Friedman tours extensively and also appears in music videos. He views his music as an outreach tool, with the goal of drawing Jews closer to Judaism.

This is the first time Tomchei Shabbos of Middlesex County and RPRY have done this kind of fundraising, and judging from pre-sales, it may become an annual event.
