Sharim v’Sharot Announces The Sixth Annual Young People’s Jewish Song-Writing Contest

The Sixth Annual Young People’s Jewish Song-Writing Contest for children 8-17 and young amateur adults (ages 18-24), with a First-Prize Winner of $72 in each age category, is sponsored by Sharim v’Sharot, Central New Jersey’s Select Jewish choir. Visit www.sharimvsharot.com for details, guidelines, information. See: Song Contest.

Children and Young Adults residing or attending school in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, or Delaware, 

are asked to create original Jewish songs in three age-appropriate categories: 8–12, 13–17, and 18–24. Songs 

are judged by Jewish-music educators, musicians, rabbis, cantors, principals or teachers employed in Jewish 

education. Winners are presented to the community, and some of these songs may be performed at a Sharim 

v’Sharot concert.  This year’s theme is: Jerusalem.

Music reaches beyond boundaries and connects one generation to another. Young song-writers are asked to 

express their thoughts and feelings about Jewish life, events, people, prayers, customs, or writings.

We look forward to your contest entries!

Your friends at Sharim v'Sharot
