Welcoming Shabbat with Ein Keloheinu by the San Diego Jewish Men's Choir

The San Diego Jewish Men's Choir (SDJMC) has been performing for over 27 years. The choir has more than 25 members who share a common goal — the preservation and promotion of Jewish choral music. They fulfill this mission through concerts, recordings, community outreach events, and appearances at festivals. The choir is affiliated with the Center for Jewish Culture and Creativity in Los Angeles, a non-profit organization sharing similar goals.

Under the musical direction of Ruth Weber, the men’s choir performs over 30 concerts a year throughout the Southern California area. They have been featured on the Chabad Telethon, KPBS, on the documentary, Forever Strong, released in July 2015, and as back up singers for the Latin Grammy winning children’s artist Mr. G. and for the 3x Grammy® winning artist Ricky Kej. They perform music of all styles including, liturgical, pop, folk, gospel and musical theater, and sing in Hebrew, English, Yiddish, and Ladino.  

In this video the choir sings an upbeat version of Ein Keloheinu, a hymn from the Shabbat Musaf service at the San Diego Oasis in Rancho Bernardo. Enjoy, and Shabbat Shalom!
