Whiffenpoofs
Israel Tour
'08
WHIFFENPOOF A CAPPELLA
SINGERS IN CONCERT IN JERUSALEM
On July
30, 2008, 8:00 pm, the world renowned Yale University Whiffenpoof
singers will present a concert at the Jerusalem YMCA Auditorium. It
has been eight years since the Whiffenpoofs were last in
Israel, in the
intervening time, however they have sung for Presidents, including
George H. and George W. Bush and President Bartlett (on the "West
Wing" television series). In addition to demanding annual concert
schedules, where they have sung all over the United States, including Carnegie Hall,
they have appeared on numerous television shows such as the "Jane
Pauley Show", "Jeopardy", and "The Gilmore Girls". The Jerusalem concert is a "one performance only"
part of their 2008 World Tour, which this year coincides with the
Israel's 60th
anniversary.
One can expect a unique evening of entertainment including innovative
A Cappella arrangements of well known popular songs
from different eras, punctuated by the characteristic playfulness of
the tuxedo wearing, white glove clad, all-male Yale graduates
singing in close harmony. The evening promises to include
their trademark song, which features the readily recognizable line, "We
are poor little lambs who have gone astray, baa, baa, baa
. . ."
The
concert will be held in benefit of the charities and projects of the
Rotary Club of Jerusalem and the Whiffenpoofs Children's Literacy
Initiative. Tickets are 70 NIS, available from Rotary Club
members, Yale Alumni Club members or by phoning 02 643 5969 or 02
673 3882, or 054 533 1945

Ongoing Activities of The Club
- Family Hosting
The Yale Club of Israel will coordinate
housing for students or faculty while visiting in Israel
- Visiting Undergraduate Groups
Contact the Yale Club
for assistance in coordinating activities and events during your visit
If you've ever found
yourself thinking "It's too bad most people only know Israel via the
press" or "Somehow CNN's Christiane Amanpour and the BBC's Paul
Reynolds just don't manage to convey who we really are", here's
your chance to do something about it.
Several Yale clubs around the
world have expressed interest in hosting alumni from Israel to speak to
their club. If you are interested in chatting informally or
presenting a short talk and have at least two weeks' advance notice of
your trip, please contact David Mirchin: (dmirchin@meitar.com).
