What Happened to the London Boys Choir ? Watch 50 year Re-union

 




Yigal Calek and the London School of Jewish Song, who wowed crowds across the globe over the span of decades, joined together once more on the last night of Chanukah to regale both themselves and their audience with song and music.

Calek, Yigal Calek and the London School of Jewish Song were not only revolutionary with their contribution of songs to the Jewish world, but were also a key player in the advent of the frum concert; prior to the London School of Jewish Song’s concert performances in the early 1970’s, musical events were almost exclusively held in the basements of shuls. 

Calek a sixth grade rebbi, composer, and musical director, released his first album (Ma Navu) in 1970 with his London Pirchim Choir (which later morphed into the London School of Jewish Song), and followed it up with many more albums filled with songs that have become classics in the Jewish music genre.

This video is so inspiring .Genuine authentic Jewish music with Ahavas Yisroel for a legend.
His songs like Marah Kohen ,Chamol ....will stay in shuls till Masiach comes.Unlike the current chiors ...all flash no substance.Filled with wonderful memories
