Cantor's Concert - Jewish Press, May 5, 2023
by Hazzan Michael Krausman

Rick Recht is one of the most in- fluential and celebrated Jewish artists and leaders of our time. He will be the featured artist at Beth El Synagogue’s upcoming Cantor’s Concert live and in the beautiful, newly renovated sanctuary on Sunday, May 21 at 4 p.m.

Recht’s official website notes: “Rick’s innovations in Jewish music, media, and leadership training have had a profound impact on the fabric of Jewish life. Recht is the na- tional celebrity spokesman for PJ Library and the founder and Executive Director of Songleader Boot Camp – a premiere national leader- ship training conference. Recht is the founder and Executive Director of Jewish Rock Radio and JKids Radio, the first high-caliber, 24/7 international Jewish music radio networks. He also serves as Artist in Residence at United Hebrew Congregation in St. Louis, Missouri. Rick Recht has 13 top selling Jewish albums, including his latest hit album, Here I Am.”

As in the past, proceeds from the concert will go to benefit the Seth Rich Memorial Camp Scholarship Fund which enables students to attend Jewish summer camps of every denomination. Jewish summer camping is fertile ground that nurtures and develops Jewish spirit, identity and commitment. Purchasing a ticket or sponsoring this event not only will provide you with an unforgettable afternoon of entertainment but is an investment in our future communal leadership.

It is most appropriate that this ef- fort is presented in memory of Seth Rich. Seth Rich was part of our Beth El family. He attended Camp Ramah in Wisconsin for six years, participated in the Ramah Seminar in Israel and served as a staff member at Ramah Wisconsin for two years. Seth also attended Camp Sabra for one year. He was an outstanding example of how attending Jewish summer camps can benefit the individual, our communities, and the entire country.

The concert chairs, Mary and Joel Rich and Pam and Bruce Friedlander, together with the entire team at Beth El, are working hard to produce this outstanding concert. Pam and Bruce noted, “We are so excited to hear the fabulous Rick Recht at this year’s Cantor’s Concert. Monies raised will go to our kids so that they can attend Jewish camp this summer, which costs more and more each year. Please bring your family and have a wonderful afternoon with us!”

Rick Recht is perhaps the most engaging Jewish Concert artist you will ever see! Whether performing at a summer camp, a youth conference or at a synagogue concert – the entire audience quickly becomes part of the performance. From the moment we first saw Rick in concert in Florida, my entire family and I became instant fans! With his upbeat, exciting, and passionate style, Rich Recht will have you and the entire audience, tapping your feet, singing along and dancing in the aisles.

As Cantor of Beth El, I have a threefold goal in producing these annual concerts: to provide an outstanding and unique Jewish Musical experience for the Omaha Community, to establish Beth El Synagogue as a premier venue for concerts of Jewish Music and, to ensure that any student who wants to can go to a Jewish summer camp. Rick Recht fulfills all my wishes and more!

Rabbi Steven Abraham, Beth El’s spiritual leader, puts it this way: “I am incredibly thankful to Hazzan Krausman and the concert committee for all the work they do to put on our annual cantor’s concert. Jewish summer camp benefits our      students, their families, Beth El and the entire Omaha Jewish community. We are extremely lucky to be able to provide these funds to further our student’s Jewish identity. I look forward to seeing you and hearing from the amazing Rick Recht.”
While individual tickets start at $18, there are a variety of sponsorships available. Please visit our website to purchase tickets or find links to some of Rick Recht’s amazing songs. You can also email me at hazzan krausman@bethel-omaha.org, or call the Beth El synagogue office at 402.492.8550 for more information.

In keeping with his dynamic and inclusive style, Rich Recht has invited our fabulous BESTT Religious School students to join him on stage for a song at this awesome concert. In talk- ing about our concert Rick said, “I’m incredibly excited to return to Omaha to sing and celebrate with Hazzan Krausman and the amazing Beth El community. I know this will be a 
particularly special community experience featuring talent of all ages. It really doesn’t get better than this!”
