Once in a Lifetime HD invited major Instagram users on an extraordinary journey across Israel. They were introduced to our small country’s tremendous variety of landscapes, cuisine and nightlife, as well as its multicultural society and culture.
The project is run by Tel Aviv University students who take part in the StandWithUs Fellowship, a public diplomacy program. StandWithUs is an international non-profit organization dedicated to informing the public about Israel (www.StandWithUs.com).
Agadir – Israel Andalusian Orchestra with Mark Eliyahu
Over the past 15 years the musicians and soloists of the orchestra have been performing in concert halls both in Israel and abroad.
Their work has brought to life the music and heritage of a culture that had almost disappeared forever.
The Andalusian music and culture have evolved into a unique aspect of Israeli culture, enticing various audiences from all over Israel and around the world.
Most of the musicians play from sheet music on classical western instruments- Violin, Viola, Cello, Contrabass and Oboe. These are accompanied by a traditional ensemble of classic eastern instruments- oud, Kamanja (knee violin), Kanoun, Ney, Darbuka and tar all of whom play without sheet music, through the knowledge that has been passed on to them from hundreds of generations.
Beyond Falafel – Food Culture in Israel
Produced by Write On For Israel Teen Participants
“We chose food as the topic for our group for two main reasons. One, it is not a highly controversial topic and two it would be a fun, clever, and accurate way to represent the pluralistic side of Israel that is so
commonly omitted from the conversation. Some highlights of our filming process consisted of tasting different types of food, seeing traditional kosher dishes to seeing Chinese Kosher dishes, and hearing what Israelis had to say about the wide array of food within their country. We hope you enjoy our documentary, and next time you are in Israel, while falafel is still very tasty, see what other scrumptious dishes you
can find.”
