Yeshiva University's Maccabeats recently put together a Pesach video with a musical theatre twist for the Festival of Freedom. The group writes: 'Les Mis, which has always been a Maccabeats favorite, tells the story of one man's search for freedom, salvation, and himself. As such, we found its now-famous melodies and lyrics to be a wholly appropriate avenue for creatively retelling the story of the children of Israel's journey from slavery in Egypt to nationhood under God.'

Originally formed in 2007 as Yeshiva University's student vocal group, the Maccabeats have recently emerged as both Jewish music and a cappella phenomena, with a large fanbase, more than 10 million views on YouTube, numerous TV appearances, and proven success with two albums, 2012′s Voices From The Heights and 2012′s Out Of The Box.
