Community Chorus

Based in Edison, NJ

Created in 2003, Makhelat HaMercaz Jewish Choir of Central New Jersey is the brainchild of two local cantors, Anna West Ott of Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple in New Brunswick and Sheldon Levin of Congregation Neve Shalom in Metuchen. Under their direction, the group has attracted over 50 singers from Middlesex, Monmouth, Mercer, and Somerset Counties. Dedicated to nurturing appreciation of and building community through Jewish music, Makhelat HaMercaz continues to broaden its musical repertoire spanning centuries and continents - religious, secular, classical, jazz, pop and folk tunes sung in Hebrew, Yiddish, English, and Ladino.

Founded - 2003.
