able to include one of his two sons
in the Israeli version of Les
Miserables. His New York run has
brought him the opportunity to tour
concert stages throughout the
United Stares.
"I have two sons in the Israeli
army now, and they are religious like
me," Fisher says. "My wife Tova man-
aged a medical laboratory when we
got married. One of us had to give
up a career to be with the kids, so she
really sacrificed herself for me. We're
very moderate people and believe in
`live and let live.' It doesn't bother me
if somebody is not keeping the
Sabbath.
"I still perform as a cantor for
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and
Passover. I go to a country club in
the Catskill Mountains and work
there. When I'm standing in front of
the ark, it's like recharging my bat-
teries. It gives me spiritual strength."
Fisher has recorded 14 albums,
some religious and others secular,
and has just finished a new one that
has inspirational songs in English. It
includes "Bridge Over Troubled
Waters," "You'll Never Walk Alone,"
original songs that he co-wrote and
"For the Children." He performed
the latter, written by Marvin
Hamlisch and Alan and Marilyn
Bergman, for a Madison Square
Garden concert in tribute to the late
Yitzhak Rabin, his personal friend.
Although Fisher has stood his
employment ground concerning reli-
gious observance, he did make
another concession when he started
entertaining in America.
"Dudu is a nickname my grand-
mother gave me, and unfortunately,
in America, it's a bad name," he
explains. "My real name is David,
but my friends have always called me
Dudu. David is like a grown-up
name, and Dudu is more fun and
loveable.
"I had a lot of problems with Les
Mis when they asked how to write
my name. I said, `Dudu Fisher,' and
they said, 'No way.' Finally they used
`David,' but they put the ( Dudu' in
brackets." ri

Dudu Fisher will perform Never
on Friday for the 66th annual
Balfour Concert sponsored by
the Zionist Organization of
America 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct.
17, at Detroit's Orchestra Hall.
