SHIRAH: Community Chorus on the Palisades is one of the largest and most respected non-synagogue-affiliated choral groups in the country. Based in Bergen County, the chorus draws its transdenominational membership from all over the metropolitan area. The chorus performs an exciting mix of folk tunes in Hebrew, English, Yiddish and Ladino, liturgical repertoire, and a classic mix of historical Jewish music.

Founding Director and Conductor Matthew Lazar says, "This concert will be an enjoyable and entertaining way of celebrating the culture and history of the Jewish People and Hanukkah."

This concert is made possible by founders Bernie & Ruth Weinflash and their Shirah Endowment Fund in Tribute to Matthew Lazar, the Ethel & Irving Plutzer Endowment Fund for the Shirah Choir and the Rhoda Toonkel Endowment for the Shirah Choir.
