" 'Old MacDonald Had a
Farm' is a popular song
among Israeli children, and

adians in Israel, wounded
and on-duty soldiers and a
group of Russian ohm.
Coming from a musi-
cally talented family,
Weinberger,said he and
Glaser decided to make the
tour because "we wanted
to do something worth-
while for Israel." They
performed in various U.S.
cities to raise funds for the
trip.
In Israel Weinberger said
the most requested songs
were American tunes and
Hasidic melodies. However,
he said they also played
Russian, Yiddish, Israeli,
Yemenite and Jewish classi-
cal pieces.
Weinberger has studied

violin for 13 years, and was
dubbed "Moshe and His
Hasidic Violin" by Rabbi
Yitschak Kagan when he
performed for the Lubav-
itcher "Hasidic Happening."
