Eternal Echoes
Itzhak Perlman is one of the greatest violinists today, known all over the world. And within the Jewish community, Cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot shares a similar level of respect and fame. So it's fitting that the two of them decided to make a CD together. PT host Fred Child spoke with Perlman and Helfgot recently about the project. Today, in honor of the beginning of Rosh Hashanah on Sunday, we'll hear highlights from that interview and their new CD, Eternal Echoes.
