One of the most important and most-watched videos on the YouTube channel breuers 2gether is a movie my father z’l made in 1974 for the annual dinner. This was long before the attendees of a Yeshivah dinner were shown videos about the honorees and the cause they came out for. 

Dad brought his 8 mm camera down to the school and shot movies of the kids, teachers, and parents in action. 

The Movie also has some rare invaluable footage of the Shul in Frankfurt, the Friedberg Anlage- as well as shots around the neighborhood of Gruenebaum’s bakery, the butcher shops, and the like. It is 28 minutes long in total! 

Long ago I decided that one day I would have it digitized professionally- at great expense but at a price worthy of the preservation of history. 

Well, yesterday, that day came, and I drove the film over to a fancy studio at the edge of Brooklyn.  

As I took it out of the box that it sat in since that night in January of 1974 I realized that I was born a few weeks after this production was made, and it became my hobby to make videos about this place just the same. 

Two more items: 

I want to launch a website for the preservation of audio pertaining to our roots….So. I will be reaching out to all of you in the next few weeks asking you to send me recordings of yourselves singing your family’s zemiros! Remember. None of us knows what the other has been singing! This would be a great way to compare and contrast. Details to follow. 

Finally. I hope to launch a Tanach podcast in the next week or so. I am very excited about this, and if you have gotten into the spirit of listening to podcasts, you will know that the good ones are few and far between.  

All the best!
