"When the Rabbi of the Moon fell from the stars on to the town of Montik , the stardust left a trail of music, wonderment and great knowledge..." And so begins the first tale as you enter the world of the Hasidic Masters, their incomparable music and the timeless and universal wisdom.

This all new intimate look at the mystical world of Hasidic songs and tales, will combine the rich heritage of the past with the powerful, poignant and insightful teachings of some of the greatest sages of an era gone by. From simple "niggunim" (melodies) to some of the most hauntingly beautiful music in the Jewish tradition; from the joyful and ecstatic to the mellifluous and heartbreaking, Danny weaves this unforgettable music together with the eternal words from the wise.
