• Micah Hendler and the Jerusalem Youth Chorus - Healing through Harmony

  In this episode of the Glenn Gould Podcast, Brian Levine is joined by guest Micah Hendler where we explore the concept of small victories through music—moments of connection and understanding that we can create ourselves, even amidst great divides. Micah Hendler is the founder and artistic director of the Jerusalem Youth Chorus, which follows this principle through its work in Jerusalem, where they use music to serve as a bridge between Israeli and Palestinian youth. The Jerusalem Youth Chorus is unique in that half of its members are Israeli, and the other half are Palestinian. Through music, we’re able to find a way to coexist and foster greater understanding for each other, allowing Israeli and Palestinian youth to connect and share their experiences together.
