Hanukkah Happens XXXII: Zamir Chorale of Boston with Cantor Elias Rosemberg

Join for an evening of wonderful music presented by the Zamir Chorale of Boston and Temple Emanuel of Newton! This annual concert will feature 18 versions of “Hallelujah” from a variety of traditions: Jewish and Christian, classical and popular, North and South American, European and Israeli.

A combination of the word “hallel” meaning praise, and “yah” meaning God, it may be the best-known Hebrew word, spoken all around the world. This joyous word is found throughout the book of Psalms. And in Psalm 150, the ultimate Psalm, it occurs, in various formations, 13 times.

Led by Founder (1969) and Artistic Director Joshua Jacobson, the Zamir Chorale of Boston is a vibrant voice in the presentation, preservation, and perpetuation of Jewish culture. Hazzan Elias Rosemberg has been the cantor at Temple Emanuel since 2007, where he has created many meaningful and exciting new programs, such as Shabbat Alive! and has recorded several CDs of meaningful music.
