Who we are
Elevate Your Davening Experience with Harmonei Maalah
Since our founding in 2020 in the Chatam Shul, Rechovot, Harmonei Maalah has been committed to enhancing the beauty of davening through exquisite four-part harmonies. Our ensemble, rooted in tradition yet inspired by contemporary influences, creates an uplifting atmosphere in davening.

We specialize in Kabbalat Shabbat, Birkat Hachodesh, and the momentous occasions of Chuppahs and Bar Mitzvahs, ensuring that every note we sing carries a profound sense of joy and spirituality.

Asaf Naymark is a commercial contract lawyer who loves to feel the unity expressed in singing and hearing harmonies–lending his resonant bass voice to the choir, enriching their performances with depth and harmony–especially in service of Hashem. Since COVID and thanks to his wife’s support, working from home has also enabled him to spend more time with his family, become a yoga therapy teacher, and learn pnimiyut haTorah in a night kollel, the latter infusing all his other escapades with inspiration to become a better version of himself, to connect positively with those whose life paths cross his, and to do everything from dreaming to dishwashing with the emunah that mashiach is coming now.
