Video of annual, Israel Day Concert (with a Message) in Central Park. Music, spirituality, and Zionist politics on proud, public display

The 19th Annual Israel Day Concert in Central Park is expected to draw 20,000 people this year.

The event, which will be held at Central Park's Summer Stage on Sunday, June 3rd , takes place straight after the Salute to Israel Parade, and is dedicated in honor of the 45th anniversary of the Six-Day War and the re-unification of Jerusalem.

Dr. Joseph Frager and Dr. Paul and Drora Brody, organizers and chairpersons for the past 7 years, have announced the concert's themes:

1. Jerusalem united forever-- never to be divided again;
2. No further concessions of any part of the Land of Israel; and
3. Stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons NOW, before it is too late.

The concert, thought to be the largest Zionist rally in North America, perhaps the world, is sponsored by the Israel Concert-In-The-Park Committee, associated with Young Israel Chovevei Zion and the National Council of Young Israel.  It pays special tribute again this year to the late Carl Freyer, who together with his wife Sylvia, founded the annual event in response to a call by Rabbi Shlomo Riskin, Chief Rabbi of Efrat, to mount some form of protest to the disastrous 1993 Oslo accords.

NYC's "Jerusalem: United Forever" concert/rally delivers strong Zionist message: "The Land of Israel belongs to the Jews by right; Keep Jews in Jerusalem, Judea, & Samaria united under Israeli rule

Pro-Zionists rallying at NYC's Rally with a Message in Central Park cheered the Republican Presidential contender, Herman Caine, who resonated with their concerns about Pres. Barack Hussein Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to acquiesce to Palestinian demands to ethnically cleanse pious Jewish communities from Judea and Samaria.


Mr. Caine, who topped Fox News' poll following last-month's Republican Candidates' Debate, joined notable Zionistic speakers who addressed the gathered audience of thousands for the 18th annual, pro-Zionist, "Concert with a Message" in Central Park- organized by Dr. Joe Frager and Dr. Paul Brody on June 5, 2011.

Marking the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, Israeli Member of Knesset, Danny Danon, head of the Likud Int'l movement, sent Pres. Barack Hussein Obama this message through the media - "Take your hands off the Old City. Take your hands off the Temple Mount & the Western Wall. We will continue to build the communities in Judea and Samaria. We will make sure that all the Jews will remain there. ... Come to live in Israel. We will make sure that the Jews will be able to live all over The Land of Israel."




Rabbi David Algaze of Queens synagogue Havurat Yisrael, tells Jews that Pres. Obama, while bending-over backwards to 'respect' Islam, cares not a twit about disrespecting the Bible in which he entrusts guardianship of His holy lands - Judea, Samaria, and Israel/Palestine - to the Jewish nation. He reminded those concerned that the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, and not to politicians or government- and Jews live in Judea and Samaria by rights, and not merely to maintain security.



Rabbi David Algaze accuses Obama's Administration of flouting the Jewish Bible, disrespecting Jews and Zionism, in his pursuit for 'respect' for Islam.
