The San Diego Jewish Men's Choir (www.SDJMC.org)

The San Diego Jewish Men's Choir (SDJMC) has been in existence for over 15 years. It is made up of a solid group of more than 25 volunteers from various walks of life, backgrounds, and ages.  The members share a common goal, the preservation and promotion of Jewish choral music.  They fulfill this mission through concerts, recordings, community outreach events, and appearances at festivals.  The choir is affiliated with the Center for Jewish Culture and Creativity in Los Angeles, a non-profit organization sharing similar goals.
Under the musical direction of Ruth Weber, the men’s choir presents over 30 concerts a year throughout the Southern California area, and were recently featured on the 2013 Chabad Telethon.  They perform music of all styles including, liturgical, pop, folk, gospel and musical theater, and sing in the Hebrew, English, Yiddish, and Ladino languages.  
Mayor Todd Gloria kicked off SDJMC’s first Chanukah JAM (Jewish Arts and Music ) Festival.  Over 80 performers participated in this festival, and The San Diego Jewish Times wrote, “Chanukah JAM a Sweet Confection.”
In partial fulfillment of their mission SDJMC has just released their first album: "Heritage", a compilation of historically significant Jewish Choral Music.  This album recently won a SILVER MEDAL in the Global Music Awards 2014! Part of the proceeds from the sale of each album goes toward distributing free CD’s of this music to Jewish senior homes, senior centers, and religious schools throughout the U.S. so that the music can be enjoyed for generations to come.
