Rana Choir is a women's ensemble from Jaffa, Israel, founded in 2008 by conductor Mika Danny and artistic director Idan Toledano. It is the only Arab-Jewish women's choir in Israel, bringing together Jewish, Muslim and Christian singers of different generations who rehearse weekly and perform folk songs and original material in Hebrew and Arabic, alongside repertoire in Ladino, Yiddish and Farsi. Originally a project of Jaffa's Arab-Jewish community centre, the choir became an independent ensemble in 2016 and has since become known as a rare example of grassroots coexistence work in the mixed city.
A report by The Forward described how the choir nearly fell apart after the war between Israel and Hamas, but continued its weekly rehearsals in Jaffa nonetheless.
On its own website, a new member tells how she joined the choir in the summer of 2025, after nearly two years of war and massive protests in Israel.
