By the late 1940s\, it boasted more than 130 singers and performed a rich repertoire of Yiddish\, Hebrew\, and Canadian folk songs\, alongside classical and newly commissioned works. The choir often appeared with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and graced major stages such as Massey Hall\, sharing the spotlight with renowned guest artists\, including Paul Robeson and Jan Peerce. \nAfter many vibrant decades\, the choir took its final bow in 2010 — but now\, the United Jewish People’s Order is thrilled to bring this spirit of community singing to life once again. \nClick here to join!
