Pat Boone, the Christian singer perhaps known best as the voice of “Speedy Gonzalez” and other fifties hits, is in Israel to perform in a special tribute show for Israel’s 70th on Sunday, Jerusalem Day.
The gala event, at the Jerusalem Theatre, will open with greetings from Barbra Streisand and include performances from Boone, Shiri Maimon, David Broza, Dino Kartsonakis and the Moran Choir, accompanied by the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.
Boone, 83, also brought a contingent of evangelical Christians to Israel during this current trip, and is leading them on an extended tour around Israel.
“I am very excited to be here in the Holy Land,” he said. “With every visit I feel that Israel is becoming my second home. This may be my last visit and I am determined to make it the best.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
