I am an out of towner living in the Midwest. I love to sing and do so, as a part time job. I was raised in a musical family, and have tried to pass on my love and appreciation of music onto the next generation, my children.

First Impression of Yerachmiel Begun and The Miami Boys Choir Me La’Hashem Ailai by OutOfTowner

Many professional choirs and choir leaders have come and gone over the years, but one constant in the Jewish Music scene is Yerachmiel Begun and the Miami Boys Choir.
