Magevet Members List

From the recondite neighborhood of the (lower) Upper West Side of Manhattan, meet the bold, brave, and beautiful Elijah Wiesel. Since long before joining Magevet, Elijah has been cultivating his musical talent and voice as a metal guitarist and burgeoning online blogger. Growing out his hair since shortly after his third birthday, Elijah maintains his luscious locks out of commitment to these crafts. You can trust us, his hair flips raise the quality of any jam.
Luckily for us, Elijah has demonstrated the same commitment to excellence in his Magevet career. Known for learning music with time to spare for good gossip, Elijah’s stentorian voice rounds out the Magevet Bass section. If you listen closely, you may hear particular resonance in Elijah’s favorite melodies (we’re looking at you Yerushalayim shel Zahav).
Outside of rehearsal, you can find Elijah at Chabad or the White House Channukah Party.

Years before she joined Magevet, Hannah was honing her musical craft. In her 13-year (and counting!) piano career, she trained extensively in solo performance and chamber music, won multiple competitions, and completed prestigious programs at Boston University Tanglewood Institute, Interlochen Center for the Arts, and Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music.

Hannah was happy playing piano, but sometimes after a long and productive day of practice, she would hear a little voice in her head, whispering to her that something was out of place. When she listened a bit harder, she came to the realization that the one missing piece in her musical world was a group of 8-14 attentionally-challenged Jews full of strong opinions, diverse ideas of what “in tune” means to them, and shocking apathy for maintaining a sensible protein intake while on tour. That day, she joined Magevet, and while we haven’t received word on what the little voice is saying these days, we couldn’t be more delighted to have her here.

When she’s not making music, Hannah can be found putting her energy and talent towards an impressive range of hobbies, including keeping up her piano skills, running long distances, cooking up chef-quality meals (apricot rosemary scones with sliced almonds, anyone?), editing Jewish magazines, waging battle with the mice of Morse College, pondering changing her major (again), and, of course, performing feats of organization and planning that the rest of us can only dream of. She’s our perfect pitch with perfect pitch, and we’re always lucky to have her around.

Noam Barenholtz, a junior in Silliman college, hails from the great town of Teaneck, New Jersey, which sends quite a few Jews to Yale every now and then. Equally at home in physics and Torah studies, you can find Noam hanging out in Slifka or doing research for his physics lab.

Whether it be the mysteries of kinetics, Jewish mysticism, or even Jane Austen, Noam is the kind of person that will impress you with the cool things he knows when you strike up a conversation. Spot him singing bass at our next concert!

Ariela Zuckerman, hailing from the wise town of Sommerville, MA, is one of those people who always seems to have lots of energy. She’s incredibly outgoing, and you'll wonder whether you've met her somewhere before when she strikes up a conversation like your best friends. To quote a sage, "Hell yeah!"

She has a great sense of style and lots of self confidence, but beyond that, she is someone who really looks out for the people around her. She’s attentive to her friends and often notices when someone needs a little extra help or support. When ever that need exist, she steps in without hesitation. She’s thoughtful, caring, and simply a wonderful person to have around. Whether you’re chatting with her, traveling together, or just spending time with her, Ariela knows how to make everyone feel included and very appreciated.

A dual major in computer science and math, Quinten Jin has really been making it count as Magevet’s newest Bostonian Magevateer. A deep and wide-ranging thinker, with a vocal range to match, he can just as easily tell you about literature, politics, or Chinese opera as he can about why math and computer science are for more than just counting puns.
A true artist, when Quinten isn’t singing tenor, he’s pulling flowers from negative space in elaborate and mesmerizing paper cuts. Or maybe he’s busy keeping the YPU on track. Or perhaps reading recently published scientific articles. Or coding for new projects. Of course, whatever he’s doing, he’s bringing his musical ear, powerful voice, and quiet exuberance to every Magevet performance.

Hailing from the two great cities of Atlanta, GA and Yeruham, Israel, Asher Lytton is a junior in Silliman College studying comparative literature. When Asher is not singing in Hebrew or Yiddish in the Slifka Center, he is likely singing in Hebrew or Yiddish somewhere else, with or without the rest of Magevet. If you start singing in his presence, expect that he will join you.

His warm tenor voice reflects his friendly character and deep passion for Jewish music. For a man with such passion and creativity, it is only natural that Magevet wouldn’t be what it is today or sound like it does without him.
