Somehow, in the presence of Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz, the notes are stronger, the song is bolder, and the message penetrates. Completely paralyzed, stricken with ALS, Rabbi Yitzi can’t move or talk, and yet he speaks so much louder than us all, stirring others with his indomitable spirit, his courage and faith, and his joyful soul, the great Reb Yitz inspiring just by living. Here, Yaakov Shwekey pays Reb Yitz a visit, his inspiration giving the singer’s melody a different dimension.
