With his unique ability to cater to an eclectic mix of people, he united music aficionados with each new concert and album he produced.On one memorable event, HASC was celebrating 18 years of Jewish music.

== More about Yisroel (Srully) WIlliger ==
On an introspective level, Srully is passionate about inspiring others with his music. Although performing on stage has its excitement, there is something far deeper that keeps him grounded and focused on his mission to bring joy and unity to others. For Srully, it is the ability to interact with people who can benefit from the joy and inspiration that music invites, be it the weekly visits to the hospitals to cheer up the ill, or the spontaneous kumzits with friends and fans. As exhilarating as a cheering crowd may be, the smile or the nod of recognition on the face of those most in need is the most silent, yet rewarding, standing ovation. And that, he says, is priceless.
On one occasion Srully recalls receiving a phone call from a family that he has visited often when their child was a patient in Sloan Kettering Memorial Hospital. Hello Srully, it would be a big honor if you would keep your word when you mentioned to our daughter while you came to sing for her in the hospital that you will iy”H come sing by her wedding – gratis. Srully said of course it would be my biggest pleasure, here’s the catch, the wedding is in Italy! Well, after calling his travel agent Yossi Leifer of Travelers Choice and telling him the story, he booked the ticket for Srully and said he does not want to take any payment for the flight, he said as long as we are partners in this mitzva – ” you are traveling all the way to Italy to sing for free, I will get you there.”
