Yeshiva Boys Choir

Background

Originaly from Cleveland, OH, Yossi Newman (Conductor and choreographer) was a third grade teacher. Yossi chose talented kids from his school choir to audition for the Yeshiva Boys Choir. He contacted his childhood friend from summer camp, Eli Gerstner, who was by then a successful producer, together they gathered the choir and started working on the first album (Kol Hamispallel). The first known members were Elimelech Bialo and Yehuda Laib Saks. The rest came shortly afterwards. They are now based in New York, NY, after Yossi moved from Cleveland, and auditioned new choir members. The first two albums (Kol Hamispallel - 2003), (V'ohavta L'Reacha Komocha - 2005) and YBC Live I (2005) were with the Cleveland choir. Their songs are known to be very catchy with exciting choreography in their music videos and performances.
