Mazel Tov to Rabbi Joel Kessler on receiving Semicha!

On Tu B’Shvat 5768, our beloved Hazan Joel Kessler received Semicha from
Yeshvas Pirchei Shoshanim in
Jerusalem.

 

New Rebbetzin Arleen and daughter Rachel watch proudly as Cantor Joel receives his Semicha certificate.

Rabbi Daniel Channen from Yeshivas Pirchei Shoshanim and Rabbi Avraham Goldstein from the Diaspora Yeshiva present Cantor Joel with his Semicha certificate at the Kotel.

Mazel Tov to Rabbi Joel!

 

Of course there were plenty of speeches at the dinner,
but guess who led Zemirot and Birchat HaMazon?!
