Dear JYC Global Family,
Yesterday marked 600 days of war since October 7th, 2023 – 600 days of unspeakable horrors that threaten both Palestinian and Israeli lives in the present and future. We carry that heaviness with us wherever we go.
At the same time, we know that our resilience is in our togetherness – and that our hope is in our action. So we keep singing, and keep talking.
To that end, we’re delighted to report that our singers have made it safely to New York, the first stop on our Frontlines of Hope tour.
We have been sharing our songs and stories for the last several days here in New York (and still have a few seats left for our intimate concert tonight on the Upper West Side) – and tomorrow will head West.
In a moment when division and despair dominate the headlines, our singers are choosing another path: one of hope, courage, and connection. Even in the midst of war, these young Israelis and Palestinians continue to meet, to sing, and to speak their truths across lines of conflict — reminding us what is possible when we refuse to give up on each other.
Meet us on the frontlines of hope.
May 26 – 29: New York City
TONIGHT – An intimate concert on the Upper West Side

Wear the Message. Be the Movement.
Show your support for the Jerusalem Youth Chorus by wearing official tour merchandise to our upcoming concerts and wherever you may go! When our young singers look out from the stage and see supporters in JYC gear, they’ll see more than an audience — they’ll see their global family standing with them in hope, courage, and commitment to a shared future beyond violence.
Order now and wear your values with pride.
In JYC, our young singers are living proof that healing and change are possible. Through their voices, they show us how pain can be transformed into purpose, and how a shared future can be built even in the most fractured places.
Come listen. Come witness. Come be part of the movement.
Because when young voices sing from the frontlines of hope, the world listens.
With hope and harmony,
Micah, Amer, Jackie, and the Jerusalem Youth Chorus
