Participation in the choir has several goals: developing listening skills, honing the ability to process musical content and promoting tolerance and empathy.[https://archive.today/20130127173810/http://www.li-ron.com/en/about-us/ Official website], About Us. Retrieved 2012-26-06.
Many Israeli composers, among them Sara Shoham, Andre Hajdu, Menachem Wiesenberg, Ovadia Tuvia, Moshe Rasiuk, Mary Even-or and Moshe Zorman, have written special choral works for the choir. Li-Ron performed the Yiddish song Oyf 'n Pripetshok for the sound track of Schindler's List.[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5000795/ Li-Ron Herzeliya Children's Choir Tel-Aviv]
