“ Ethan Bortnick performed at our annual dinner/concert last week. The crowd ate him up. He is a natural entertainer, yet genuine and emesdik… His appeal to the secular/cultural side of the community was excellent - he brought in nearly 300 for the dinner. He plays a great variety of classical, popular, etc plus his singing is adorable!! … The event drew in people I would have not dreamed would come to a chabad function, let alone a fundraiser. The community is buzzing!... What's amazing about Ethan is the publicity he has gotten in the media, in Hollywood, in the Music world, and he continues to get. Our public TV/Radio station got very very excited about Ethan and did major promos for us and interviewed him, etc. “...
