About the Maccabeats

The Maccabeats have entertained and inspired audiences worldwide. Using nothing more than the unadulterated human voice, a clean-cut presentation, and a little Jewish humor, this unique group of singers is able to connect with fans of all backgrounds and ages. Originally formed in 2007 as Yeshiva University’s student vocal group, the Maccabeats have recently emerged as both Jewish music and A Cappella phenomena.

To date, the Maccabeats have released several singles and two full-length albums, all of which have been met with critical success. Popular parody songs include: the Hanukkah anthems, “Candlelight” (sung to the tune of Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite”); and “All About That Neis” (sung to the tune of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass”).

The Maccabeats have since performed all around the country, from New York’s Madison Square Garden to Orlando, Florida (and everywhere in between). Strongly committed to the philosophy of Torah u-Madda, the integration of traditional and secular wisdom, the Maccabeats perform an eclectic array of Jewish, American, and Israeli songs.
