I used to see Jo with Uri and David in the early 70''s at the Tanzman Bungalow colony in the Catskills - Jo Amar used to perform at Grossingers and once they nearly didn't let him into the hotel because he wasn't a guest and didn't have a Grossinger's key. That was funny. He started yelling at the security people in Spanish. Great memories, folks. RIP.
If I'm not mistaken, on September 3, 1990, Reb Shlomo performed the wedding of Madeline Amar, daughter of Jo Amar, to Ely Labovitz, the youngest son of Rabbi Eugene and Annette Labovitz in Great Neck, New York. Please correct...
***** This was my wedding. Reb Shlomo was the closest of friends to my father, Rabbi Eugene Labovitz of Miami Beach. My wife is Madeleine Amar, youngest daughter of the great Jo Amar. Both Reb Shlomo and Jo Amar sang that evening. - Ely
A wonderful person
