The Beatles are coming to Jerusalem, well, with a little help from their friends. A Spring music festival is taking place Thursday, May 30th of Beatles tribute bands. This concert is being hosted at an interesting venue, the Kfar Shaul Mental Health Center in Givat Shaul. It’s the first time that the mental health center, which is housed on beautiful grounds, has agreed to open its gates to a music festival. Organizer Tracey Shipley, a creative therapist working with youth mostly through music and who ran the Woodstock Festivals in Jerusalem, spoke with reporter Arieh O’Sullivan on not only the physical, but psychological importance of the concert and music now.

This according to Cliff Sobin, an author of three books on Hizbullah and Israel. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that messaging needs to grab attention, be emotional and be informative. So far, Israel isn’t delivering this, even to its own people. (photo: Alma)
