Mission Participants Gathered for a Historic and Surprise Event with Koolulam

The Israel at 70 Miami Mission was full of wonder and ruach, but the last day provided a sense of community that will always be remembered. On Sunday, April 22, participants gathered in the Jerusalem Theatre for a historic — and surprise — event with Koolulam, the Israeli social action singing sensation. In less than 2 hours, our group of more than 800 was divided into three parts, taught the lyrics and harmony to Matisyahu’s “One Day,” and then performed together, creating the first-ever international version of Koolulam’s singing initiative. And it was all caught on video! Click here to watch the video they created.
