"Celebrating Love and Unity Between Arabs and Jews When It Matters Most" (Shachaf Dekel, Culture Treasures)
Hebrew. Arabic.
So close and alike, yet so remote and different.
Introducing an innovative project of Hebrew and Arabic love songs in an unprecedented venture in these unprecedented times.
Israeli iconic songs translated and performed in Arabic for the very first time, and Arab renowned and beloved songs - in Hebrew.
Brought by a mixed Arab-Jewish cast, it is a captivating celebration of music, love, language, and the people between them.
