Tzeirey USA is a youth group, comprises of about 20 Israeli youngsters, ages 6-15. The group members meet once a week for rehearsals, and perform frequently at various community events. Although Hebrew is the primary language used, it is possible to integrate some English as well, for Non Hebrew speaking audience.
Before each Jewish Holiday the youngsters learn about the history and customs of the Holiday and then follow with a musical program, created and taught by Music & Artistic Director Amir Efrat. |

At Tzeirey USA, we believe that it is vital for Israeli kids living in America to be able to speak, read and write Hebrew, in order to appreciate their long and rich heritage. Through songs and music the kids improve their Hebrew proficiency and enhance their understanding and love for the State of Israel. In addition, the youngsters develop new social skills and sense of community and friendship, by celebrating together Jewish Holidays and other community events throughout the year. We also believe that learning songs and music should be a fun activity, and as a result, the kids look forward enthusiastically to every upcoming meeting. |
Tzeirey USA is very much in demand in and out of L.A., and the young stars frequently appear in local newspapers. Their recent performance at A Tribute to Rabin event, (M.C-Dennis Prager) was a huge success, and the kids had the opportunity to perform in front of an enthusiastic audience, which included many dignitaries such as Consul General of Israel Mr. Ehud Danoch, CIC leader Moshe Salem, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s representative and many more. The group sang You and I Will Change the World and Let It Be, after which they raised a white dove with the message of SHALOM written on it. |
