On video: The musical "Piaf" from the Hebrew Theater premiered at FRIENDS Rishon Lezion (Editor: Gilad Man Mannheim)
We came to FRIENDS Rishon LeZion, a chain of cultural clubs from the Histadrut, to see the musical "Piaf" from the Hebrew Theater up close.
"FRIENDS was born from the vision of the chairman of the Histadrut, Arnon Bar David, who decided in an equally historic decision to take all the cultural assets of the Histadrut and breathe new life into them," said Yossi Wolff, CEO of the "FRIENDS" network.
The cooperation between the FRIENDS network and the Hebrew Theater is mainly based on the common goal of making quality cultural content accessible everywhere in Israel at subsidized prices that are affordable for everyone.
The main part of the collaboration enables the initialization that is given to the FRIENDS network in the various shows, before they are shown in other halls in Israel.
We started the collaboration with the plays "Inta Omari" and "Piaf", and you can already purchase tickets for the future productions, "Fiddler on the Roof", "I'm here because of my wife" and many other good ones.
"This network, FRIENDS, together with us and the Hebrew Theater, has chosen to reach every corner throughout Israel - Yeruhem, Dimona, Kiryat Shmona, and this is only the beginning of the list," noted Gadi Tsadaka, CEO of the Hebrew Theater. "Every corner throughout Israel will receive culture because Culture is something that is mandatory.
There is a mighty winter in the Hebrew theater and in the FRIENDS network: "Fiddler on the Roof" continues to star throughout culture, "I'm here because of my wife" is a devastating comedy, and an exciting and extremely intriguing musical - "Inita Omari" ("My Life"), about the life of the greatest of them all

"I did serious research to step into these huge shoes," said actress and singer Yonit Tobi.
"I even did a roots trip in Paris, I was in all the most significant places of her life in order to feel her as close as possible."
"After the corona virus, we especially discovered the lack, this need that exists mainly in the peripheral cities for culture, for quality culture," Wolff added.
"When you work on comedies, on a huge musical like "Fiddler on the Roof", on a historical drama like "Inta Omari" by Umm Kulthum, and finally finish with "Piaf" then your life is a celebration in some way," Tsadaka said.
"I always like to meet audiences outside of Tel Aviv. The most fun is to feel that this thing works everywhere and works a little differently everywhere, it's a different experience and we feel it in the field, and the response is crazy," Bizhvai concluded.
