The high energy of guest ensemble Atzilut lifted everyone’s spirits immediately as the second half began. Middle Eastern rhythms, melodies, and instruments had everyone clapping shortly into the second half. Featuring music of both the Arabic and Jewish cultures, Atzilut presented a wonderfully unifying blend of music that reached everyone. To bring the concert to a close, the choir joined Atzilut on stage, along with the children’s choir of Tiferet Bet Israel, our hosts for the event, performing several numbers with them that brought the house down.
