"Ose Shalom" for PBS's "The New York Cantors"

Many of you may know that "Ose Shalom" is one of the most famous Jewish songs, written in 1969 by Nurit Hirsch. What you may not know is that when I was seven years old, I had a chance to perform this song with Nurit in Israel. When I came on stage, she noticed I still had my chewing gum in my mouth, and held out her hand, demanding I spit my gum out. Years later I got the chance to perform this piece for Pope Francis during his visit to New York, and again here for the PBS Special: The New York Cantors. Needless to say, I have a long and special relationship with this piece. I hope you enjoy it!
