EL-EY SHEER CHOIR (Los Angeles Hebrew Choir)
EL-EY-SHEER is Los Angeles' Hebrew-language choir.
As the name implies, the choir is dedicated to the preservation,
propagation and enjoyment of Hebrew songs, new and old.
It has no sponsoring organization,
and is fueled solely by its members' enthusiasm.

of modern secular songs of Israel, with occasional
selections of traditional Jewish songs, including
Yiddish and ancient Judeo-Spanish (Ladino).

-
40th Annual Los Angeles County Holiday Celebration

Israel Independence Day ceremony (Yom Hazikaron - 2001)
