Who are we?
Mezumenet is the University of Maryland's premier treble Jewish a cappella group.
How did we begin?
Mezumenet was founded in December 2008 by four young women who studied (and sang) in Israel together. When they came to UMD, they wanted to continue singing together while also providing a family for women with a shared passion for singing and Jewish culture.
What do we sing?
Our repertoire includes traditional Jewish melodies, current Israeli pop, and contemporary radio hits, all rounded out by our unique Mezumenet parodies.
Where do we perform?
We compete regularly in Kol HaOlam, a collegiate Jewish a cappella competition in Washington, D.C., where we placed second and third in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We also took home the award for Best Arrangement at the competition in 2019 for our arrangement of Eshet Chayil.
In addition, we have frequent gigs on campus and bar/bat mitzvahs and have performed at the University of Delaware, Rutgers University, and synagogues/JCCs throughout the East Coast. We also have performed at the Jewish A Cappella Festival (JAF) in New York City and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) convention in Washington, D.C.
