On Wednesday, December 18, 2013, the Jerusalem kehilla had the unique opportunity to hear Laura Bellon. The German singer (accompanied by Roella Dissels) came to the Holy Land with a series of concerts. Thanks to contacts with her manager (Michael Wielath) from “Set Free Entertainment”, we were able to convince the artists to participate in a small, house concert in the chapel of the Jerusalem kehilla.

Universally known Christmas carols in and worship “classics” sung by the beautiful voice of Laura created a beautiful and warm atmosphere. An unexpected free-style Hip Hop performance by Danny Fresh (who is also on tour with Laura and Roella) was a nice gesture towards the German-speaking part of the audience. The parishioners and guests (volunteers from the French Hospital, students from Ratisbonne and the Beit Yosef and others) could also taste a local specialty – “Halva Cookies”. These were made by Yossi from the Jaffa kehilla, who sacrificed his time and money to offer to everybody a “sweet piece of joy”. After the concert, we invited the artists for hot soup made by Michal (with the help of Claudia and Tali). In the opinion of a few participants at the Wednesday night event, this might be a nice tradition: to organize a Christmas concert every year.
