Lipa made it very clear that everything over expenses goes to the fund in Leiby’s memory. Just as he was honest when building his shul and got all of the proper permits, he was up-front and did not let people think he was not going to clear his expenses.

I bought it literally the moment I could (a few minutes after my local 12.46 pm chatzois on 10 Menachem Av). Yes, it is hurried and yes, Lipa can and has done better – but he is not doing it for the publicity – he doesn’t need publicity.

If it were better I probably would have bought a couple more copies to send as gifts. I will have to admit that I listened to it once and have not listened to it again. From a musical point of view he should have released a short track and then spent more time before releasing the final product. At least he did something and the family clearly approved – end of story.
