Jerusalem Youth Chorus Wows "America's Got Talent"

I've long loved this group, which promotes coexistence among Israeli and Palestinian teens in Jerusalem and beyond.  And their music is just great! Last night they wowed the panel and audience of "America's Got Talent" with their signature rendition of the song "Home." Watch it above.  It wasn't exactly like the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, but JYC has definitely arrived in America!  

And then, see below their concert from earlier this week, streamed from Trinity Church in lower Manhattan.   And below that, a playful melody with a lovely message from their most recent album. After that, check them out on Spotify and YouTube.  It won't cure all the ills of the world, but we all deserve to feel hopeful, if only for a few minutes.   And maybe longer.
