American pop star Bruno Mars will make his way to Israel this fall for the first time and will perform at Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park during the Sukkot holiday on October 4.
The Grammy Award-winning — 15 so far — artist’ well-known hits include “That’s What I Like,” “Treasure,” “Uptown Funk,” and “Just the Way You Are.”
Mars, born in Hawaii, also has Jewish lineage. Mars is one of six kids, with a Filipino mother and half Puerto Rican-half Jewish father originally from Brooklyn, New York. One grandparent, of Hungarian and Ukrainian descent, was reportedly a Hebrew teacher.
Mars’s parents were both entertainers and met onstage, with Mars joining them when he was just four years old.
He’s known for his stage performances and showman style, and for singing and producing pop, R&B, funk, soul, reggae, disco and rock songs.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
