Their website explains “Founded in 1993, Magevet is widely regarded as one of the nation’s premiere Jewish musical groups. A coed ensemble of undergraduate students at Yale University, Magevet is known for its sweet blend of voices, unique arrangements of traditional, modern, and original melodies, and lighthearted sense of humor.
The group’s diverse repertoire spans from modern Israeli pop and Renaissance choral pieces to Yiddish folk tunes and Zionist classics. The members of Magevet are equally diverse: engineers and historians, Jews and Gentiles, New Yorkers and Floridians – all united by camaraderie and a love of singing.”
At B’nai Jacob, these gifted Yale undergrads will participate in a special Musical Shabbat morning service, which begins at 9:45am. Following Kiddush Luncheon (approximately 12:45pm), Magevet will also treat attendees to a concert featuring traditional and modern arrangements of Jewish, Hebrew and Israeli songs.
The entire community is invited to join congregants for this wonderful Shabbat experience.
