“Cindy and her friends have done it again...The sincere, loving energy of the musicians brought hundreds of people to their feet, singing and clapping and creating “ru’ach” worthy of the 1950s and 1960s folk era. I floated all the way home!”

“Every year my mother took out your cassette tape Chanukkah with Cindy. Your voice shaped some of my fondest memories of childhood — I recently found the recordings on YouTube and it is such a blessing to be able to listen again with my children.”
