Yaakov, aside from being an exceptional singer and musical talent, has an unbelievable heart and sensitivity for Acheinu B’nei Yisroel. Truthfully, many of our entertainer have big hearts, its part of what leads them to entertain, but, as a parent of a “Center” child I have special Hakoras HaTov to R’ Yaakov. And, kaan HaMakom L’Hazkir, His Rebbitzen Jenine is an absolute Tzadeikes. Those who know, know. She lives, thinks and breathes Ahavas Yisroel, 24/7.

Yaakov shwekey and his wife are Amazing. Their organization does so much for the Lakewood community. Yaakov has one of the most gifted voices in our times and utilizes it to give to Klal Yisrael. May he his wife and the entire devoted staff of the Center be blessed. With all the Chesed being done we should Merritt to see the ultimate roof be raised, Bim Haira Biyamainu.

Let’s think, Avraham Fried’s ‘Bring the House Down’ is reffering to the Beis Hamikdash. So what is Shwekey’s ‘Raise the roof’ reffering to?
Maybe it’s talking about each one going out of our personal boundaries thereby ‘raising the roof’ of Galus and breaking out to the final Geula.
