ARZA Hanukkah Celebration Concert with Shlomo Gronich & The Sheba Choir in Jerusalem
Jerusalem, Israel, December 19 - Shlomo Gronich & The Sheba Choir will be appearing on Sunday December 25th, 2005 at the Hirsch Theater at Merkaz Shimshon in Jerusalem in front of a sold out crowd as part of the ARZA World Celebration of the Festival of Lights.
Shlomo Gronich is one of Israel's most famous musicians, he writes and produces all of the music for The Sheba Choir which he established in 1991. The choir consists of children from the Ethiopian Jewish community, mostly new immigrants, who now live in Israel.
"We are celebrating two things" said Ya'acov Fried the President of ARZA World "the lighting of the first candle of Hanukkah but also the coming together of more than twenty-five Reform congregations who will be in Israel concurrently."
ARZA World groups residing in Jerusalem will join in the celebration on December 25th. The groups will light the first candle of Hanukkah together, enjoy sufganiyot and hear from ARZA leadership via satellite from New York.
