Three Israeli artists had a goal: Harness the power of music to bring together fractured communities. The result—Koolulam—is a social-musical initiative that has brought tens of thousands of people around the world together in song.

Listen as Dan and guest co-host Matty Burns from israel360 chat with Koolulam founders Or Taicher, Michal Shahaf and Ben Yaffet about this innovative project centered around mass singing events.

Want to experience the magic yourself? To celebrate Israel’s 71st birthday, you are invited to join Koolulam in Boston on June 2 for a one-of-a kind, immersive musical experience. This special event, which will unite hundreds of people from Greater Boston, is brought to you by CJP, Israeli American Council and JewishBoston.com, in partnership with the Consulate General of Israel to New England.
