Where to even start? Maybe from the beginning? First, I would like to personally thank you for everything you have done for us. Whether last minute requests, crazy songs or long dance sets, you were amazing. All what people were telling Julia and myself when we were walking around after the first set of
dancing was "he is amazing!" The main reason why the wedding was so lebadik was the dancing which was generated from the music. We could not have asked for anything better. Julias's family and myself are still talking about the great music and great shtick( guitar playing behind back). We are eternally grateful for making our wedding memorable. Thank you again, we hope to see you again very soon!"

Dear Menachem
Now that the dust has settled and we have come back to earth after our wonderful wedding, we feel we cannot let it pass without thanking you for the magnificent way you and your band entertained. We felt that even though this was “another night’s work”, you were part of the Simcha, and the effort and enthusiasm you showed were way beyond anything we expected. The reaction to your playing from our guests was absolute amazement. Even amongst the non-religious crowd. May we also say that listening to the CD the quality of the professionalism was the highest caliber. It wasn’t just a great atmosphere but the standard of performance was worthy of a concert. In short, we feel honored that you were part of our Simcha and you were responsible for the unforgettable atmosphere at the wedding. It was a great pleasure meeting you. With many thanks! Shabbat Shalom"

My son's Bar Mitzvah Anshele Hass in New York on May 31, 2005, was a dream come true, mostly to you. We have an only child who is very precious to us, and we wanted something different and special. Our family is so diverse, from Chasidim, modern orthodox etc. (and even a few non Jews). You were able to pull together an atmosphere of warmth, joy and really a true Simcha atmosphere. Our guests have constant smiles on their faces, when you look at the video. Whenever our Bar Mitzvah is a topic, the first sentence that comes out is: “and your musicians, they were amazing, they were fabulous.”
It was a pleasure to know you, deal with you and "IM YIRZEI HASHEM", to our son’s wedding...You are a joy who bring joy..."

Dear Reb Menachem
I was a guest at the chasuna of Marc and Lisa Levene on Sunday night in Yerushalayim and I felt that I had to drop you a line to thank you for the wonderful music provided by you and your orchestra. There was a time when I used to love listening to the music at simchas and in fact, my kids used to joke that Ima goes to weddings just for the music! Not entirely true, of course, but the joke did have some basis. However, in recent years it seems that simcha bands are just in a competition as to who can play the loudest, sacrificing any musicianship along the way. Sunday night's wedding restored my confidence in the knowledge that decent bands do exist.
At this particular wedding you seemed to "gauge" the kahal accurately and consequently your music was appreciated by everyone. (I didn't actually do a head count on this fact, but everyone I spoke to was talking about the wonderful music.) From the FFBs,
through the BTs to the non-religious, everyone was happy. You and your orchestra are a wonderful kiddush Hashem. May you continue to bring such music to simchas until 120. Kol Tuv,

Hi Menachem!
Again, still don’t know how to thank you enough. From comments we have had, it appears the biggest Kiddush Hashem of the night was you and your band. If we are still permitted to give a bracha, we hope that you continue to shine your light onto oh so many people. You touched our souls and so many others, we have pray that you have the strength to do so until 120, please G-d.
All our love, Lisa and Marc UK, now in Israel!

Menachem,
Ilana and Zvi's wedding was fabulous and made all the more so by you and your band. the atmosphere was electric and the ruach was just amazing.
EVERYBODY, young and old alike, commented on the music and said that they just didnt want to stop dancing! There was true Simcha...
Thanks so much for your passion, energy and enthusiasm.
All the band members really looked like they were having a good time too, and not just routinely performing a job and that contributed to a really dynamic atmosphere as well.
So, once again, many, many thanks for helping to make our Simcha really memorable and wonderful.
We look forward to seing you at the Epstein wedding in August.
With all good wishes to you and your family,
Joy and Melvin Kay
ps. we still have one more to get married.....
we're keeping your number safe!!

Dear Menachem and Sarrah,
I wanted to send this email to you on the day after the wedding, but things were so hectic since then,
that this is the first time that I have actually gone near the computer.
We just want to thank you both again for all of your efforts. Menachem, your music was superb, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. I was talking to my daughter-in-law during the dancing, and she said the music was amazing because there was a lot of ruach, yet we could still hear ourselves talk.
You really helped bring Simcha into our lives, which is so important, especially at this time of strife for Am Yisroel. It was especially important to Hagai, our hatan, since so many of his friends were in Lebanon and couldn't be with him at the wedding.
Once again, I'd like to wish you smachot in your family, and may you continue to bring Simcha to others.
Many thanks,
Aviva and Michoel Rubinoff

Dear Menachem
I just wanted to drop you a short line to thank you again to your enormous contribution to our wonderful Simcha over the weekend. Everyone is talking about your beautiful music and our wonderful young couple Boruch Hashem.
I also forgot to thank you for the lovely flowers for Shabbos, and the wine and CD you brought - sorry for not doing so in person.
It was great to spend time with you and your team - please send them all our best wishes and our special thanks to your families who agreed to let you leave them for Shabbos so that you could enhance our Simcha.
Im yirtseh Hashem we will meet at many more Smachot!
