In 2002 Meyer Janet enlisted Barry Herman, his friend and colleague from their native South Africa, to establish the Atlanta Jewish Male Choir.
The group includes former South Africans, Atlanta transplants and natives who celebrate the joy and beauty of Jewish music with reverence and dedication.The choir acts as a fundraising resource for local and Israeli charities singing at weddings, functions and concerts nationwide.
The choir's goal is to archive its repertoire in a library of Jewish music.
But ultimately, the reason for the choir's commitment can be answered by a Yiddish song called "VAR VOS SINGT A CHAZZAN"
(Why does a chazzan sing?) The answer says Meyer Janet, Founder of the Choir, is because he loves to sing what he is singing.
