Tach'shitim (Jewels) is Bet Mishpachah's wonderful choir.  Formed as a trio in the late 1980s, the choir has enhanced the beauty of the Sabbath, Festival, and High Holy Day services with their music. 

Tach'shitim has performed throughout the Washington and Baltimore areas in concerts and interfaith services. 


In 2000, Tach'shitim released its first recording, "Family and Friends." In 2004, they performed, to great acclaim, in the 7th International GALA Choruses Festival, held in Montreal.  They are also featured in the 2006 documentary, "Why We Sing."
