I wouldn’t allow my son to be in such a choir for the simple reason that the cost/benefit ratio is too small. For all the time and money spent rehearsing, traveling, and performing, at the end of the day, a boy gets very little out of the experience. the Jewish choirs teach the boys nothing about music. They do not learn to read notes, are not taught anything of music history, theory, harmony or even about traditional Jewish music. From an educational perspective, they are a complete waste of time. Additionally, from what I understand there are huge costs (i.e. travel costs and costumes and other fees) associated with these enterprises.
