BFAMI is proud to partner with The Houmous Foundation and Tzemach Productions on this unique event in support of Israel.
——
BFAMI’s mission is to support the emergency relief projects run by the art museums of Israel.
Since the outbreak of war one month ago, the fourteen art museums of Israel supported by BFAMI have created trauma relief art programmes to families in the south, mobile museums giving people a sense of purpose and regained community, art day camps for enlisted soldiers and medics children and much more.

The Houmous Foundation has been inaugurated following the beginning of the war, with the intention of promoting Israeli culture in the UK through engaging events.

RITA known to the world simply as Rita, Rita Jahan-Foruz emigrated from Iran to Israel In 1970, aged just eight, and fifteen years later became the best known, most successful singer in the country. Today Rita continues to pack venues and stadiums to capacity, her multi- platinum albums reinforcing her position as Israel’s biggest singing sensation.In recent years Rita felt the need to reconnect with the Persian music of her childhood. The album “My Joys” was released in 2011. The album achieved gold status in less than a month of its release. Rita embarked on this project with the purpose of introducing the music that has driven her personally and artistically, to a wider audience, sharing a message of tolerance and gap bridging through music. In March 2013 Rita marked one of her most outstanding achievements when she was the first artist ever to give a full concert at the UN General Assembly Hall in New York. The concert, attended by then secretary general Ban Ki Moon and the Israeli ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor, featured Rita singing in 3 languages: Hebrew, English and Farsi. Following these international events, Rita was named a culture ambassador of good will to Israel by the world press. Throughout her career Rita has sold over a million copies of her albums, won dozen of prizes and has been celebrated as the top performer and singer in Israel. A true performer, she continues to explore new and exciting musical territories, trying out new sounds and testing her vocals to the limit. Even after all those years, she still manages to captivate audiences with her sensational performances.
We are here to support the creatives of Israel in these most challenging of times.
