Miami years: 1979–1982
I have my own bands The Shloime Dachs Orchestra & Singers and the Core Plus Band and after releasing six solo albums and appearing on over thirty others, it’s truly humbling to still sing at weddings and be mesameach Klal Yisrael. It’s a gift from Hashem I never take for granted.

Miami years: 1984 and 1985
Miami Boys Choir was my introduction to the world of Jewish music, and I’m blessed to still be part of it today. With five solo albums released since 2003, the privilege of enhancing weddings is an ongoing joy.

It was the 1960s, and Eli Teitelbaum was just a bochur when his star began to rise. The son of a rabbi from Kew Gardens, Queens, Eli was short, focused, a powerhouse of energy, and determined to channel his talents, charisma, and easy rapport with children into Klal Yisrael’s future: the youth.
“It’s no exaggeration to say that he was one of the Founding Fathers of American Yiddishkeit in the 1960’s or that there was no yeshivah boy in Brooklyn who did not know Eli Teitelbaum’s name,” says Rabbi Shimon Grama, former National Director of Pirchei Agudas Yisrael.
