Extra Sauce with Chaim Kohn

Jun 16 2019 • 1 hr 3 mins

Velvel shares fascinating stories from his early years of recording and transcribing Jewish music. This recording is from an event at Chevra Ahavas Yisroel in April of 2016.

Check out the links below to learn more about Velvel and his tireless work spanning over 50 years of recording, publishing, collecting, and preserving these treasures for generations to come.

Velvel passed away on Tuesday, June 11th 2019. It is my hope that the sharing of these stories helps bring comfort to Velvel's beloved wife Goldie and the entire Pasternak family.
