True "Yiddishe" Nachas

I was talking to a friend of mine the other night, who's son is in Azriel Shraga's class.  "I heard Azriel's part in the מסיבת חומש is adorable," she said.  "Really?" I responded, "He hasn't said a word about it!"  "Well Elazar keeps talking about Azriel's תפקיד- he says its so cute!"

Of course the next day, when I asked Azriel Shraga about it, he shrugged it off in a shy voice "I want it to be a הפתעה for you, don't talk about it".

Well I was definitely treated to a beautiful surprise this morning at Azriel Shraga's מסיבת חומש.   I didn't dream he'd have a major role- just a minute before his performance, when another boy was called up to "welcome" the guests, I whispered to a friend of mine sitting next to me- "Wow- such self confidence- I don't think any of my boys could do that!"  So imagine how I felt, when he marched up to the center of the stage, and sang a beautiful solo in a sweet, pleasant voice, in front of around 200 people.  It was really cute and I was bursting with nachas!

Azriel Shraga is being an ענו about his performance and really doesn't want me bragging about it and showing off (whose child is he? Doesn't take after me, that's for sure!) so don't tell him that I shared this video with you!

Enjoy! (sorry the video is so shaky...had I known his part was going to be so long, maybe I would have propped up the camera better!)


Zaidy, is the Yiddish any consolation to you?

Please tell Azriel Shraga how proud we are of him!!

Zeidy and Bubbie- I CAN'T tell him you're proud...cuz then he'll know that I shared the video with you, and I'm not supposed to! He keeps asking me if I erased it from the camera yet (and he's smart enough to know that I can store it on the computer- he even told me to erase it from there too- so I can't pull that trick on him!)

Why's he so secretive abt this- I mean, c'mon, he's NOT shy up there!

I know, I can't understand it either, Ru- but Bentzi says he can totally relate (I guess he takes after him....)
