You know him as the writer of today’s biggest hits, but Hershy Weinberger’s musical journey began many years ago at summer camp. Now, the talented composer and singer joins Benny to revisit the opportunities that opened doors and the songs that established his place in Jewish music. The conversation takes a few musical turns, exploring Chassidish classics, spontaneous musical creations, and how he went from being a fan to finding himself Backstage with Benny!
