What is Kolot Hayam?
Have you ever seen one of those movies or shows in which singers break out into song at every possible moment? Well, you may have thought that those moments were reserved for the cinema or the theater, but we know that once a year, there is a special place where this happens in real life. We would like to welcome you to Kolot Hayam!
Kolot Hayam is a weekend-long retreat for Jewish High School Singers and Superfans. It has often been described as the intersection of the movie Pitch Perfect and Jewish summer camp. Since 2010, we have brought together hundreds of talented students and educators to unleash and grow the power of their voices as both individuals and members of a community. Kolot Hayam is a weekend of endless joy, confidence-building, community-building, and of course, non-stop music. We hope to see you there!
