Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center and Koolulam Bring 2,000 People Together to Sing "Lean on Me"

We just can't get enough of Koolulam, the extraordinary Israeli mass singing phenomenon, that brings people from all walks of life who hadn't met before to sing popular songs together.

Koolulam has been doing this since 2017. It's a social-musical initiative aimed at strengthening the fabric of society.

The project centers around mass singing events in which large groups of non-professionals come together to form a single collaborative musical creation. At Koolulam, the audience is the artist.

Every participant enters as a unique individual and comes out, while still unique, as a part of a larger whole.

For every Koolulam event, a different well-known song is chosen to be performed. The musical team works hard toward each event, putting together a fresh and innovative arrangement of the chosen song. They write new instrumental arrangements as well as an original three-part vocal arrangement.

On September 14, 2022 the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Cultural Center invited Koolulam to bring their magic to its sanctuary to remind its members to lean on each other. Watch the results of the voices of 2,000 people singing Lean on Me together!

Enjoy!
