The Ezra Bessaroth social hall was filled to capacity this past Sunday evening for the Gala dinner honoring Hazzan Emeritus Isaac Azose.
The focal point of the evening was the «siyum»/conclusion of a decades-long project to publish anew our precious liturgy. The «crown jewel» of the set of three mahzorim and two siddurim is the Yom Kippur Mahzor, completed in time for this year’s High Holydays.
Dinner guests were treated to a violin medley of EB High Holyday tunes, a delicious catered dinner by chef Dalia Amon, along with inspiring words by Rabbi Meyers, Rabbi Yossi Azose, Mrs. Elisa Azose, Rabbi Michael Azose and last but not least, the Hazzan himself.
Special thanks to Joe Agoado for his tireless efforts and to David E. Behar for being the point-man leading up to and including the event itself, which he skillfully emceed.
