<> On Saturday evening, November 9 the Men's Club of Congregation Sons of Israel, Englishtown, NJ will present Mordechai Ben David in concert at the Manalapan High School. Who's Mordechai Ben David, you may ask? Mordechai Ben David first appeared as a "child prodigy" together with his father Cantor David Werdyger, but it was when he first appeared on his own that he exploded onto the Jewish scene as a new singing sensation. He sings with the heart and soul of a real Chasid, yet is young and American enough to put his message across in today's modern musical jargon. He sings in Hebrew, English and Yiddish and his style blends the old with the contemporary. His music has been called "American Jewish Soul Music." He has performed in America, Europe, Australia, Africa and the Mideast. Ben David composes most of his own songs, produces his own records and currently has 13 best-selling records out, many of which are at the top of the Jewish music charts. Also appearing, both as backup to Ben David and solo will be the Hebrew Rock Group Neginah (from Brooklyn). Advance tickets are $10, 13, and 16. Prices at the door will be $2 higher (and the seats may not be as good!). Sponsors and patrons are also welcome, please call 446-7797 for more details. You can order your tickets by sending a check to: Men's Club Congregation Sons of Israel P.O. Box 359-C Englishtown, N.J. 07726 Englishtown is just off Route 9, about 20 minutes south of exit 123 of the Garden State Parkway. Its only about an hour ride from Manhattan or Brooklyn (of course New Yorkers are welcome!). Needless to say, bringing a Jewish entertainer of this caliber to central New Jersey involves a significant financial committment and risk. So please, if you wish to see this type of entertainment on an ongoing basis in New Jersey, you can show your support by attending. In return, we promise you a night of fabulous entertainment. Feel free to e-mail questions to me. Marc Harrison AT&T - Holmdel ... ihnp4!houxl!mlh
