8th Day, a band co-founded by brothers Shmuel and Bentzi Marcus, is quickly becoming Jewish music's hottest new act. Their mega YouTube hit, "Ya'alili," was rated one of the year’s top videos. The group’s most recent student album, "Chasing Prophecy," has topped the Jewish music charts since its release.

8th Day's fresh and unique sound is complemented by their catchy lyrics (mostly English with some Hebrew and Yiddish mixed in) and their spirited vocal harmonies. They have played hundreds of shows across the globe, including Lincoln Center, American Airlines Arena (Miami) and many more.

“8th Day’s music appeals to a wide variety of people, regardless of age or religious affiliation,” said Rabbi Dov Oliver, Director of the Center for Jewish Life. “We invite everyone to join us for a beautiful celebration of Chanukah.”

The concert will also include a performance by the Shiru Lo Boys Choir and a Chanukah menorah candle-lighting.

Rockland Community College and the Cultural Arts Theater are fully wheelchair accessible.
