A Musical Evening in Tel Aviv this Passover: An Extraordinary Concert Benefiting Soroka Medical Center

World renowned cantors Netanel Hershtik and Shai Abramson join forces with Ra’anana Symphonette and Ofir Sobol for an spectacular evening.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, March 22, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Soroka Medical Center is hosting an extraordinary musical evening in Tel Aviv this Passover, on Monday April 10th at Heichal HaTarbut, Tel Aviv’s premier music venue. World-renowned cantors Netanel Hershtik and Shai Abramson, conductor Ofir Sobol and the Ra’anana Symphonette will perform. A special VIP reception will be held prior to the concert. The evening benefits Soroka Medical Center, Israel's leading healthcare institution. Located in Be'er Sheva, it is the sole medical center in the entire southern region of Israel, one of the country's most diverse and fastest-growing areas. Soroka serves over 1.2 million people, including over 400,000 children, in a region that comprises 60% of Israel's land.

Netanel Hershtik, a fourteenth-generation chazzan, has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious venues, including the Sydney Opera House and the United Nations. He feels deeply connected to Soroka given his service in the IDF as a medic in the Negev. Hershtik states: “Chazzanut is the most authentic expression of the heart via music. Chazzanut at its core was made to express our deepest spiritual yearnings in language that is higher than words: that is, music. Together we will make a positive impact for the people of the Negev with Soroka’s healing mission.”

Shai Abramson, the Representative Cantor for the State of Israel, is known for his remarkable vocal range, effortlessly hitting both high and low notes with precision and control. By virtue of his warm voice, impressive personality, and his command of Hebrew, English, and Yiddish music, Shai, a lyric tenor, succeeds in emotionally connecting a variety of different communities to the world of Jewish tradition and music.

Ofir Sobol, known for his dynamic and engaging presence on stage, will lead the Ra'anana Symphonette Orchestra, a premier 10-piece musical ensemble. The music will be a mix of cantorial, classical Israeli and contemporary pieces, with soaring melodies and intricate harmonies that will fill the concert hall, delivering a truly unforgettable musical experience.

There is a palpable sense of energy and excitement in the air as people gather in Israel from all over the world to celebrate Passover.
