An aca-mazing Chanucah at Sinai School

"The Maccabeats have rushed here from performing at the White House," Lord Levy said. "I think we all know what is more important between doing a concert for Sinai and doing a concert for the President."

Mr Glassar, who sponsored the event, said that, every year, he was determined "to give our children the best experience possible".

He added: "I hated being at school. I want to differentiate us from the other schools out there and ensure that every child loves their time here."

Pupils waved their arms, danced and sang along for an hour as The Maccabeats delivered their best-loved hits - but it was one student, Adam Duke, who made a lasting impression.

After being called up by the band to mimic their beatboxing style on stage - using your mouth to mimic percussion sounds - the 10-year-old stole the show, demonstrating expert skill to rival the professionals.

"The Maccabeats were really, really good and involved everyone," said nine-year-old Rebecca Rose after the show. "They definitely weren't shy."

Robert Leach, headteacher of Sinai, added: "Here at Sinai, we make it our priority to give children a rich Jewish experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

"The Maccabeats' performance will be one of those moments."
