Since the passing of Cantor Stephen Dubov in 2008, the concert has rotated between Temple Beth El of Boca Raton and Congregation B’nai Israel in Boca Raton. Both synagogues are excited to resume the concert in-person, once again.
Cantor Dubov arrived at Temple Beth El in 2006, with a stellar reputation of having the ability to hit every note and to inspire. Just a month after his arrival, he passed away unexpectedly in Detroit while returning to his family to help them prepare for their move from Michigan to south Florida to join him.

In addition to becoming a cantor, the former movie, television and stage actor had a diverse and distinguished career, which included a regular role in the daytime drama Guiding Light, performances in Miami and Palm Beach operas, Los Angeles Philharmonic and on Broadway, as well as appearances in more than 100 films.

ABOUT THE MACCABEATS
Originally formed in 2007 as Yeshiva University’s student vocal group, the Maccabeats have recently emerged as both Jewish music and a cappella phenomenon. With a large fan base, more than 20 million views on YouTube, numerous TV appearances, and proven success with four albums, 2010′s Voices From The Heights, 2012′s Out Of The Box, 2014′s One Day More and 2015′s A Maccabeats Hanukkah. Though the Maccabeats aren’t “your grandfather’s synagogue choir,” their ideology and identity play an important part in what they do. Strongly committed to the philosophy of Torah u-Madda, the integration of traditional and secular wisdom, the Maccabeats perform an eclectic array of Jewish, American, and Israeli songs. Their breakthrough piece, Lecha Dodi, is the epitome of this synthesis, combining some of the most beloved words of Jewish liturgy with Leonard Cohen’s meaningful and melodic Hallelujah.
