About Us

Kol Rinah, which means "joyous voice," is Westchester's Jewish community chorus. Our mission is to bring the beauty and richness of Jewish choral music to as wide an audience as possible, to help inject cultural vibrancy into the community, and to be a unifying force, bringing people from many different backgrounds together to be touched by our music. The chorus was founded in April of 2001 and is currently made up of 35+ singers from Metropolitan New York and Connecticut.

New singers in all voice parts are always welcome and are auditioned by our director. There is a membership fee per semester. We begin each semester with an Open House which is free and open to the public and encourage any interested singers to come. You don't have to be Jewish to sing with us!

Kol Rinah would be happy to be invited to perform at your synagogue or cultural event. Please contact our managers for more information.

Kol Rinah is the choir-in-residence at the Richard G. Rosenthal JCC, 600 Bear Ridge Road, Pleasantville, NY.
