Sam Rotman

Tonight we attended an amazing and inspiring concert given by Sam Rotman. This was the third time Mr. Rotman has given a concert at BFA. Tonight he gave his 1900th concert since starting his concert career. Even more inspiring than his incredible musicianship is his testimony. Mr. Rotman, who was born a Jew, was saved while studying piano at Juilliard in New York. As you can imagine, the impact this life-changing decision had on his family and friends was devastating. Mr. Rotman was literally cast out of his family and told to never come back. His commitment to his faith, however, has never wavered and what a joy it was to hear him tell his story again (and to listen to him play the piano!).
