What People Are Saying...

Kolot HaYam balances the thrill and focus of a musical competition with the warmth and camaraderie of a musical community. Students and teachers are granted immeasurable opportunities to grow as musicians while forming meaningful relationships and creating an unforgettable Shabbat experience.  

-Joshua Ehrlich, Choir Director, Solomon Schechter Westchester

Had I had the opportunity to go to a high school choral festival like Kolot HaYam, I would be light years ahead of where I am, both musically and communally in the singing world. Kolot HaYam affords high schoolers at an early stage of their singing careers the chance to learn from real professionals and put their knowledge into hands-on experience, all in the context of their Jewish lives. For a Jewish high school singer, there is no better weekend.
