An Intimate Evening of Music and Inspiration — Supporting the Future of Israeli Art

Join us on Thursday, November 6 at 8:00 PM at a private home in Westwood for a special and intimate evening featuring a gifted trio of young musicians from the Jerusalem Conservatory of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. These outstanding teenage artists represent the vibrant future of Israeli music, blending classical, contemporary, and Middle Eastern traditions in moving performances that capture Israel’s cultural richness and spirit.

This special performance offers a unique opportunity to meet the artists, learn about The Conservatory, and experience the energy and hope they bring to every note. The evening will also raise funds to support The Conservatory’s vital programs, which empower over 900 students each year—including initiatives that promote Jewish-Arab collaboration, early childhood music education, and opportunities for students with disabilities.

Join us for a night of extraordinary music and meaningful connection, celebrating and supporting Israel’s next generation of creative leaders.

Address provided upon RSVP. For more information or to RSVP please email Ben Vorspan at [email protected]

Amazing closing night of the Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival! Bravo Hilary Helstein and team! Matisyahu's new doc, SONG OF ASCENT, is a powerful representation of his sharing his spirituality, his soulwork, the impact the war has made on young Israelis and the impact on Jewish American lives. Seek it out. Talented team of producers including Shlomo Weprin, Jonathan Boyer, and more!

Powerful to have our LA Jewish community come together in solidarity. The arts give us a vehicle of creative expression and unify us through film+music+talent for good. Sharing messages of hope & love - we need that to combat the paradigm shift. Matisyahu, we thank you for this gift.

Elon Gold, as always we adore you for making us laugh and heal.

I've had the pleasure of meeting this talented filmmaker, Elyssa Nicole Trust, out in NYC who is in a successful raise of $50,000 to make an incredible indie about Observance. READ + Support:
https://seedandspark.com/fund/observance

Co partner is Leah Gottfried, creator of the hit web series Soon By You which centers on Orthodox Jews dating in NYC.

It is a favorable portrayal of Judaism in all forms, and illustrates the reasons why a woman would find meaning and joy in becoming more observant --- and a poignant story that also handles grief, love, growth, and friendship.

Logline:
A hard-partying secular Jew faces expulsion from her university after the loss of her sister. A new school offers a fresh start under the condition that she joins her Aunt's Orthodox cohort. Despite initial resistance, Gabby finds meaning and healing in Judaism, becoming a Ba'alat Teshuvah.
