“Shirah is a community,” said Lazar, known to his friends as Mati.
“It’s a group of people who care about each other, making music together, and expressing their Jewish identity together. Whatever differences there might be, when we make music together, we are one entity and one people.”
“The goal of Shirah — and of all choirs — is finding a way to promote and express Jewish identity through music,” said Lazar. “It’s a paradigm of community, the perfect balance between the individual and the group. It’s a perfect example of the saying, ‘The whole is greater than the sum of its individual parts.’”
