bringing down the
house at senior
facilities (he takes
pride in performing
songs by Jewish
composers). said, ‘Listen, you’re gonna have to go in
the corner, have a little sip of something
from the bar. … This is not something
you’re ever gonna have a chance to do over
again,” he recalls telling the frightened fa-
ther. “You gotta do this one.” In the end,
the father of the bride did what he set out
to do, and the whole party was in tears.

Today, Weitz’s still bringing down
the house at senior facilities, still sing-
ing Sinatra and still singing Irving Berlin
compositions (he takes pride in perform-
ing songs by Jewish composers). He’s been
leading Shabbat services at Sunrise Senior
Living Community near Temple Sinai for
13 years, in addition to regular gigs in sup-
port of Variety, a charity for children with
disabilities. He’s also performed for groups
of people who are all turning 100, which,
along with the senior living centers, are
some of his favorites.

“Even though I don’t have my parents
anymore, I go around to some of these
places and hold their hands, and just
imagine that it could be my parents in
there,” he said. l
