The Jerusalem Youth Choir consisting of Israeli & Palestinian youth performs on "America's Got Talent." A beautiful performance and inspiring to see that these young adults are finding a common language through music!
Founded in 2012 by American, Micah Hendler, the Jerusalem Youth Chorus aims to bring Jewish and Palestinian teens together in a city and country marked by division. Hendler presently lives in Washington, DC, and has a Palestinian chorus graduate serving as an on-the-ground executive director.
“We are the Jerusalem Youth Chorus, a group of Palestinians and Israelis,” one girl said on behalf of the group. “We believe through music and through working together and talking to each other, we are taking a step forward into building that amazing future where there is justice and there is freedom and there is equality and there is inclusion.”
It just feels good to see something positive! Good luck as they move to Round 2!
