NEW BRUNSWICK — More than 50 amateur singers from Monmouth, Middlesex, Mercer and Somerset counties will come together June 10 to sing Jewish music from around the world.

The Makhelat HaMercaz Jewish Choir of Central New Jersey will present a musical repertoire that includes religious, secular, classical, jazz, pop and folk selections sung in English, Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, French, Korean, Italian and Spanish dating as far back as the 1600s.

“Part of our mission is to bring all of these diverse populations together in celebration of what we have in common: namely our music, our Jewish heritage,” said Cantor Anna West Ott, of Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple in New Brunswick.

The selections will include “Make a Joyful Noise” by Elliot Levine, sung in English, Hebrew, Spanish, Korean and Italian; the Klezmer favorite “Rumania”; “Three Sephardic Romances” sung in Ladino; and “Mo’adim” by Mordecai Seter.

The singers will be accompanied by David Schlossberg, whom Ott describes as “brilliant and extremely gifted,” as well as clarinetist David Goldfarb and percussionist David Schiff.

During the evening, Cantor Bruce Rockman of Congregation B’nai Tikvah, North Brunswick, will be honored for his service to the music community. Rockman is involved with the Rejoice! festival in South Brunswick, Raise Our Voices for Israel and the Sons of Tikvah band.

“Hazzan [Sheldon] Levin [of Congregation Neve Shalom, Metuchen] and I tried to bring a diverse element of the Jewish community together. We have always chosen to honor a person who is also dedicated to Jewish music,” Ott said of Rockman. “It’s going to be a great community celebration honoring Cantor Rockman, who has done so much to bring our Jewish community together.”

Rockman could not be reached for comment.

Makhelat HaMercaz began in September 2003 when Ott and Levin wanted to start a group to sing choral music. The members rehearse every Sunday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Highland Park Senior Center for their multiple community performances each year. They have entertained at assisted living facilities, libraries, the Zimmerli museum in New Brunswick, and the Highland Park Second Reformed Church. In December there will be a concert at Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick.

The special international music concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. June 10 at Anshe Emeth, 222 Livingston Ave., New Brunswick.

Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, general admission; $7 in advance or $10 at the door for senior citizens and students.

To receive tickets in advance, contact Ott at 732-406-1371 or AnnaRuach@aol.com, or stop by Anshe Emeth or Congregation Neve Shalom, 250 Grove Ave., Metuchen.

The annual concert will be in celebration of Anshe Emeth’s 150th anniversary, and is funded in part by grants from the Karma Foundation, and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts through a grant provided by the Middlesex County Cultural & Heritage Commission and the Board of Chosen Freeholders.
