    Dear Rabbi Benny Friedman, I just wanted to thank you and let you know, that your music videos really bring me a lot of joy and inspiration as well as strength. Talking about the song; "Yesh Tikvah", I would listen to and watch this song over and over when my father A"H passed away, and it gave me sooooo much strength when I was going thru that difficult time! May Hashem bless you and continue to give you Koach to be messameach Klal Yisrael with ur music, Ad bee'as goel, AMEN!

    Benny has Such a Sweet Voice & a Very Kind Soul. I feel SO Blessed that I’ve been on the receiving end of his positive feedback. (& had the good fortune to take a couple of selfies, after his concerts.) I started as a Groupie of Avraham Fried , in the Late 80’s; & now I am a Benny ‘groupie’ , 30 years Later. 😊😉

    Mr Friedman, Have you ever thought about singing in Spanish ? I would love to hear you sing in Spanish ! I often translate your beautiful songs to Spanish for my friends and family members that don't speak English. It would be a blessing to listen to you singing in Spanish !

    love Benny have met a few times but I would add that on the low and middle end its a tough living and yes it may not last forever (we have seen many singers come and go) but once your at the top i cant imagine its that tough, some of these singers show up for 5-15k a gig. if you pop out a decent album every two and a half years together with concerts the math looks very good to me, staying relevant thats a whole other story 🤦‍♂️.

    I love this. I'm in the middle of watching this. One tiny piece of criticism if I may: when Benny mentioned the episode of someone approaching him after a concert in Memphis, you guys didn't make sure that Benny finishes the story. Only later, when he related that his sister asked him why can't he sing on his album the way he sings at concerts, did I understand what the guy at the Memphis event told him.

    We totally agree. We are becoming better listeners each and every episode (we hope). Thanks for the feedback Yechiel.

    As far as saying "*Bnai* Sarah, Rivka..." Instead of the correct quote from the Rebbe, "*Bnos*..." in the song: Technically, "Bnai" *can* also mean children of *both* genders: "*Children* of Abraham, Yitzchok, v'Yaakov..." "*Children* of Sarah, Rivka, Rochel, v'Leah..."

    The first 20 minutes sound like a complete dump on the people involved in his early albums. BH!
