You might not think a group of preteen Orthodox Jewish boys could capture the heart of TikTok. You would be wrong:
— Orthodox Jewish kiddie pop groups seem like they’d be pretty low on the list. For one thing, many of the songs are in Hebrew, a language not spoken by the majority of the TikTok-using populace; for another, Middle Eastern geopolitics seem like it would be an ideal target for the ire of cancel-happy zoomers.
Yet on TikTok, that’s exactly what’s happening. A 2007 choral performance of a Hebrew song called “Yerushaliyim” performed by a group called the Miami Boys’ Choir is going massively viral, racking up more than seven million views and with people gushing over the individual preteen soloists’ vocal performances.
The Miami Boys’ Choir has been around since 1977, when it was founded in Miami Beach, Florida by a man named Yerachmiel Begun, who had previously started a choir whileat yeshiva in Toronto. Begun later moved to New York and took the MBC with him, where they played massive venues like the Nassau Coliseum.
