Watch Greater Miami Jewish Federation Sing with Koolulam
Posted by Liat Stilman on 05/23/2018 @ 01:27 PM
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 a little less than two 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!
