About the Jerusalem Youth Chorus
The Jerusalem Youth Chorus is a choral and dialogue program for Israeli and Palestinian youth, ages 13-25. The programme provides a transformative experience for our singers that yields both friendship and understanding on an individual and collective level across lines of religion, nationality , language, and culture. We go beyond simply singing together, delving deeper into one another’s identities, life experiences, communal narratives, religious traditions, and national histories through dialogue, all within the safe space of the musical ensemble and the strong personal bonds and community it creates. www.jerusalemyouthchorus.org.
