a festival that celebrates the people of Israel

It is the beautiful moments we must arrange ourselves

On October 7th, 2023, true acts of destruction happened in Israel.

We want to use acts of creation to bring about what we need most in the world — connection.

Our partners and supporters

We founded the Spirit of Israel festival to inspire connectivity through creativity.

Our festival showcases the diverse, beautiful, and often complex voices that Israel embodies. We give space to share authentic moments that connect us as humans in a divided world. We focus on people, not politics.

The Spirit of Israel is an immersive experience. Our program includes a mix of musical genres, thought-provoking performances, interactive workshops, and stunning visual art installations designed to inspire and connect our audience to Israel. For over three days in September, the festival is set against the stunning backdrop of Metzoke Dragot, where the Dead Sea meets the desert.

This is our response to the disconnect between reality and the perception of Israelis.

This event is not just about entertainment; it's about countering dangerous portrayals of a group of people who have integrity and respect for human life. We want to continue choosing light over darkness, love over hate, and celebrating life even though some want us to cease existing.
