The “Flying Chai” Cabaret, in honor of Rabbi Perkins’s first 18 years at Temple Aliyah, December 12, 2009:

What a great event!

Thanks to Ron Sadok for videorecording the night’s festivities. This collection includes the opening biographical montage (produced by Ron Glaz), all of the musical numbers, the six tributes to Rabbi Perkins from members of the Temple Community on the theme “Aseh L’cha Rav” (get yourself a teacher), and Rabbi Perkins’s closing remarks and thank yous.

Some of the audio is at times difficult to hear, but it usually gets more audible quickly.
