I missed the chance to go to this performance last year, but sadly as I am back in the UK again for a break I didn’t get to see once more. A real shame but I got to see a brief video of this sent via friend.
The famous classical piece, Handel’s Messiah was performed in Hebrew at King Of Kings congregation at the Clal shopping mall between Agrippas and Jaffa Street in Jerusalem.
Interesting enough, the 90 year old lady mentioned who dreamt up the idea to rework it in Hebrew was in tears after the performance, Handel was found in tears by his assistant after reporting being touched by God some 250 years ago. See the video here:
Some musical friends I know got to play in this, thanks Teddy for the link 🙂
