The Alef Beats

Founded in 2005, the Alef Beats are one of Brown University’s younger singing groups. Featuring members from all around the states and the world, the Alef Beats are arguably one of the university’s most diverse a cappella groups. Brought together by a love of music and a passion for Jewish culture, the Alef Beats have been working hard to bring Jewish a cappella to Brown’s rich music scene as well as to the Northeast region at large.

The Alef Beats’ repertoire currently consists of a surprisingly eclectic range of songs. The Beats perform a number of vocal arrangements by Jewish singers and songwriters as well as a healthy collection of traditional Hebrew and Yiddish tunes. These songs are performed at various events, including competitions, festivals, private concerts, temple gatherings/parties, holiday celebrations, and arch sings around the Brown University campus and along the East Coast.
