  • 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.
