"The arts has always been a place where people come together to celebrate and support each other, so it felt like a natural fit to bring Jewish members of our community together for this cause.” The concert raised over $15,000 and proceeds from the evening were donated to JNF-USA Israel Resilience Campaign, an organization that provides support and relief for the south of Israel.
Special thanks to the Moise Safra Center and its staff, all of the donors, friends and family that came out to support and come together as a community. We are excited for what the future holds for Songs For Shalom.
