Maccabeats Concert
The Group Who are the Maccabeats
Often travelling with little more than the shirts on their backs and the ties on their necks, the Maccabeats have entertained and inspired hundreds of audiences worldwide, from Alabama to (New) Zealand and everywhere in between. Using nothing more than the unadulterated human voice, a clean-cut presentation, and a little Jewish humor, this unique group of singers is able to connect with fans of all backgrounds and ages.
The Maccabeats were originally formed in 2007 as Yeshiva Universitys student vocal group.
Originally formed in 2007 as Yeshiva Universitys student vocal group, the Maccabeats have recently emerged as both Jewish music and a cappella phenomena, with a large fanbase, more than 20 million views on YouTube, numerous TV appearances, and proven success with four albums, 2010s Voices From The Heights, 2012s Out Of The Box, 2014s One Day More and 2015s A Maccabeats Hanukkah. Though the Maccabeats arent your grandfathers synagogue choir, their ideology and identity play an important part in what they do. Strongly committed to the philosophy of Torah u-Madda, the integration of traditional and secular wisdom, the Maccabeats perform an eclectic array of Jewish, American, and Israeli songs. Their breakthrough piece, Lecha Dodi, is the epitome of this synthesis, combining some of the most beloved words of Jewish liturgy with Leonard Cohens meaningful and melodic Hallelujah.
