Founded in 1995 with assistance from the Jewish Agency, Shir Appeal is one of the nations’ oldest collegiate Jewish a cappella groups. They sing a mix of music including Israeli rock and pop, traditional and liturgical Jewish songs, and English songs with Jewish themes. Though based outside of Boston, Shir Appeal has toured throughout the US including New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and Southern Florida, as well as throughout New England and the Boston area. Shir Appeal has been featured on Best of College a cappella (BOCA) 4 times.

Famous quotes containing the word appeal:
“... life is moral responsibility. Life is several other things, we do not deny. It is beauty, it is joy, it is tragedy, it is comedy, it is psychical and physical pleasure, it is the interplay of a thousand rude or delicate motions and emotions, it is the grimmest and the merriest motley of phantasmagoria that could appeal to the gravest or the maddest brush ever put to palette; but it is steadily and sturdily and always moral responsibility.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
