Who we are and what we do

The Montreal, Shira Choir is an inclusive group of singers, living with disabilities, dedicated to celebrating the power of music, to bring joy, to inspire and unite people of all ages and abilities. People with disabilities are often marginalized in society, without opportunities, to express their talents, passions in life, and realize their full potential.

Pushing the Boundaries – Disability Inclusion and Jewish Community Conference

Held on May 5–6, 2025 at the Prosserman JCC in Toronto, Pushing the Boundaries brought together self-advocates, service providers, researchers, caregivers, and community leaders from across Canada. Hosted by Reena, the conference sparked inspiring conversations around inclusion in Jewish and broader communities, and covered areas such as housing, education, employment, caregiving, and mental health. Across two transformative days, participants engaged in engaging keynotes, hands-on workshops, and dynamic discussions that advanced the national dialogue on accessibility and belonging. As part of the event, the world-renowned Montreal Shira Choir’s director, Reverend Hazan Daniel Benlolo, performed an exclusive a cappella set with his nephew Joshua Benlolo, underscoring the power of inclusive arts. The Choir’s performance at Pushing the Boundaries beautifully embodied community, connection, and creativity through music. test
