  • When the Music Starts, the Young Men in the Seeach Sod Choir Are No Longer Mentally Challenged Adults Trying to Navigate a Confusing World Around Them
    Singing Their Hearts Out WHEN THE MUSIC STARTS, THE YOUNG MEN IN THE SEEACH SOD CHOIR ARE NO LONGER MENTALLY CHALLENGED ADULTS TRYING TO NAVIGATE A CONFUSING WORLD AROUND THEM. MICROPHONES IN HAND, THEIR VOICES EMERGE FROM A DEEP PLACE IN THEIR SOUL WHERE BARRIERS NO LONGER EXIST BY Meir Wolfson PHOTOS Matis Goldberg, Yinon Fuchs 46 MISHPACHA 27 Av 5772 | August 15, 2012 MISHPACHA 47 Singing Their Hearts Out The Key To TheirSouls Did Reb Shlomo Carlebach envision this moving rendition of his “Tov L’hodos LaShem” when he wrote his classic melody to those words so many years ago? If you were sitting at the Siyum HaShas in Jerusalem’s Binyanei Hauma on Sunday, August 5, you might have been one of those who burst into spontaneous clapping and rose to dance to the electrified beat. Among flashing cameras and stage lights, the excited ten-man Pirchei Seeach choir opened their act in perfect sync, and then gave way to the clear, sweet voice of their star soloist, “Avremel,” whose powerful notes and perfect harmony transfixed the crowd. At that point, you might have taken a second look at the stage to remind yourself who Avremel is. Avremel is a severely autistic young man in his 20s, so uncommunicative that he cannot respond to any verbal instructions — even from his beloved choir leader, the indefatigable Chaim Sofer. One of the only windows into Avremel’s soul — and those of his fellow choir members — is music. Seeach Sod in Jerusalem cares for 650 children and young adults with disabilities that range from slight emotional difficulties to severe autism and Down syndrome, mainstream- ing them and letting them shine in their own way.

    Jewish Popular Music Joel E. Rubin Most scholars agree that there is no such thing as “Jewish music”, but rather there are numerous Jewish musical traditions that have developed in a diasporic setting over many centuries and a wide geographic range. This article will focus predominantly on music that has been created outside of Israel and is perceived to be Jewish by its creators and/or consumers, whether or not they are Jews. The question as to whether music created in the modern nation-state of Israel should be considered Israeli or Jewish, or both, is complex and will only be briefly discussed. Many popular Jewish performers sing in both Jewish and non-Jewish languages, dialects and styles, and service a multilingual and multi-religious public. Thus the line between “Jewish” and “mainstream” popular music can be fine. Genres of Jewish popular music have emerged that are predominantly secular as well as those that are religious, and they include music created by Ashkenazim (originally Central and East European Jews), Sephardim (originally Jews from the Iberian Peninsula), Mizrahim (originally Jewish from the Arabic-speaking lands) and other, smaller groups (e.g. Jews of Central Asia, Caucasus, India). Jewish musical traditions are often performed in settings not normally associated with popular music – the synagogue, and at weddings and family and holiday gatherings – yet aspects of popular musical culture are present in many of these traditions. Because of Jewish migration patterns in the wake of the upheavals of the twentieth century, it is common to find large communities living in a double diaspora, such as Bukharian Jews in Queens, New York or Syrian Jews in Brooklyn, New York.

    Ira Heller is blessed with one of the great voices in Jewish music today. He is a dynamic performer, and a versatile, vocal stylist with a repertoire that spans traditional, classical, Hasidic, Broadway, and popular music. His mastery of the stage and commanding presence has capti- vated audiences around the world.

He is regularly called upon to officiate at events of para- mount importance to the Jewish Community, and his voice is familiar and known at the forefront of many major Jewish causes. He has been featured in the entertainment section of New York Newsday as well as numerous other major publications, and was the first orthodox Jew to be invited by the New York Mets to sing the National Anthem at Shea stadium. Subsequent to the 9/11 terrorist attack, when a Chanukah Menorah was dedicated at ground zero, Ira was afforded the honor to officiate, and performed the candle lighting ceremony. He has released 6 albums, all to enthusiastic acclaim, and is regularly featured on Jewish radio around the world. Ira is also a long time student of classical singing, and recently, was chosen to be part of a select group of classical singers headed by the great vocal maestro, Sherril Milnes.
