Sherith Israel is excited to welcome back Magevet, Yale University’s Jewish A Capella Group. Singing with Magevet was Cantor David’s favorite thing about college! They’ll be performing during Shabbat services at 6 pm and at dinner afterwards at 7:30 pm (RSVP required). These events are open to the community, so please bring your friends!

Founded in 1993, Magevet is one of the nation’s premiere Jewish a cappella singing groups. A coed ensemble comprised of undergraduate students at Yale University, the group is known for its sweet blend of voices, unique arrangements, and lighthearted sense of humor.

Magevet’s repertoire is varied, spanning modern Israeli pop, Renaissance choral pieces, Yiddish folk tunes, and Ladino love songs. The members of Magevet are equally diverse: physicists and historians, Jews and Gentiles, New Yorkers and Californians, all united by camaraderie and a love of singing.

Magevet is devoted to spreading Jewish music to the far corners of the globe and embarks on two or more major tours each year, in addition to regular performances throughout the Northeast. In the past few years, our tours have brought us all over the United States and Canada, as well as to Europe, South Africa, and Israel.
