The Zamir Chorale\'s Israel Choral Mission has arrived for a week of free solidarity-with-Israel performances. Most notable will be their performance in downtown Jerusalem at Zion Square this Thursday at 7:30 PM. The 70 mission participants, coming directly from The North American Jewish Choral Festival in New York, have been conducting daily community sings in locations such as Hadassah Hospital, Gilo Community Center, and Lod Air Force Base (today), and will perform tomorrow at Shaarei Zedek Medical Center.
The Zamir Chorale, founded and directed by Matthew Lazar, says it is the \"leading force in the Jewish world for sustaining and advancing the Jewish choral tradition.\" Originally founded in 1960 for college students and young adults in the New York area, the Zamir Chorale sparked the creation of a number of similar choirs across the U.S., and continues to provide leadership and resources for the establishment of local choruses. The current mission is funded by the New York Cultural Cooperation commission, a joint venture of the State of New York and the State of Israel.
Also in Israel: A tour of some 50 people from Bnai Jacob/Shaarei Zion Congregation in Baltimore, Md., led by Rabbi Moshe Hauer, has arrived. They spent their first Shabbat with families in Judea and Samaria, and plan to tour areas throughout the country on both sides of the Green Line.
