Opening Act: The ShinShinim

This special night of Hebrew songs begins with The Shinshinim performing favourite hits from Israel’s pop artists of today. Idan Raichel and Rita, Arik Berman and Keren Peles are only some of the contemporary singers whose music is shared in this uplifting hour with our talented Shinshinim.
