HaZamir: The International Jewish Teen Choir is a youth movement that welcomes Jewishly identified and musically talented teens from all denominations as well as those with no affiliation. HaZamir offers high schoolers in 34 chapters across the United States and Israel the opportunity to learn and sing Jewish choral music at the highest musical standard and on the world’s greatest stages. In weekly rehearsals, regional retreats and the HaZamir International Festival, HaZamir teens study Jewish text and history, grow as leaders, cultivate a deep connection to Israel, and create enduring friendships that transcend geographic, political, social, and denominational differences.
