CANTORS EMANUEL SHALOM FROM AHAVA "THE EGYPTIAN SHUL" AND ISRAEL HALEVY FROM AHI EZER VISIT RONNIE
Two weeks before Ronnie's passing I was with Benny Daouki my good friend from Israel visiting Ronnie on Motzai Shabbat. Benny and I spoke and we thought it would be wonderful if his son in law Cantor Emanuel would come to Ronnie's house and sing for a bit. So Benny jumped at the idea and called Emanuel. I heard him say " Emanuel do you want to do a mitzvah, come here now". Within 15 minutes Emanuel came over and starting singing beautiful pizmonim and blessings that went right into the heart. It was simply magnificent. After that night Emanuel called me and said I want to come back next week and bring my friend and we will perform together for Ronnie and make him happy. So next week he came back with Israel Halevy Cantor of Ahi Ezer. Israel brought his Kanoon (Arabian Zither) and they played and sang as a duet. The music they made was marvelous and they really made Ronnie soar to unbelievable heights. What a mitzvah they made. When they finished Emanuel asked me if they could come back next week and do it again. Unfortunately Ronnie was not well enough to do it again. Hashem should bless them to have all their hearts desire.
