"In High School, I lived and breathed NFTY. My region, NFTY-Northeast, was blessed to have Noam Katz as a regular at our events. I can honestly say that outside of Noam, Bryan is the most talented song leader that I’ve ever worked with.  From knowing Bryan for a little over a year, I know that inspiring Jews through music is his passion.  Bryan is constantly trying to adopt new ways to breathe life into Reform liturgy.  His version of Shalom Aleichem, Angel, typifies the beauty of Shabbat.”- Bobby, 20, Boston, Massachusetts

“Always caring for others, Bryan has the incredible power to calm anyone he sings for with his amazing voice.  I have heard rumors around my camp, where he was a fantastic song leader, that he is “superman” with the power to calm and tranquilize anybody in his way with his beautiful lyrics and melodies.  Bryan is always kind and compassionate towards others, while keeping everyone in order.  He gains respect from everyone he meets.”- Alison, 15, Cupertino, California

“After spending an entire summer with Bryan, I learned that he wrote his own music and has a CD.  He played some of his songs for me and I thought they were awesome! I was a CIT for Shomrim at Camp Newman this past summer and Bryan was our song leader.  He played his song “Pitchu Li” for them.  It was one of the best things I remember from camp.  All of the kids looked up to him as if he were the coolest thing since sliced bagels!  I am glad I got to know Bryan and his music this past summer!”- Ben, 21, San Diego, California

“Bryan has so much Jewish soul and passion that comes to life through his music…He captivates youth and adults alike”. – Ruben Arquilevich, Director of URJ Camp Swig and Newman

"Bryan has so much ruach, so much spirit! The kids can't help but see him as a role model with his passion and love for music that is apparent as he leads them in song. As Bryan moves around, singing and encouraging the kids to join in, you can feel the energy growing in the room. He makes it fun for the kids to sing Jewish songs together and to feel more connected with their community and culture. He is changing people's lives through his music. - Becky K.,, Culver City, California (Student at UCLA)
