Choosing Israel: Live Music & Lecture
Danny Weissfeld
19:30 Sunday 26 July
Danny Weissfeld, an acclaimed Israeli-American guitarist, has spent decades performing on the world’s most prestigious stages alongside global icons like Kelly Clarkson, James Blunt, and Anastacia. But behind the bright lights and the successful international career lay a profound personal dilemma.
In this moving live music and lecture presentation, Danny opens up about his decision to leave Israel after his military service to pursue the “American Dream.” He shares raw stories from his years in the US—from the heights of professional comfort and luxury to the jarring encounters with rising antisemitism that forced him to view his identity in a new light.
Danny dives deep into the internal tug-of-war: the struggle of choosing between a flourishing career abroad and the visceral pull toward his homeland. He discusses the challenges of reintegrating into Israeli society, the sacrifices made along the way, and the ultimate realization that despite the hardships, coming home was the most rewarding chord he ever struck.
Through live guitar performances and honest dialogue, Danny explores what it truly means to choose Israel every day, offering a unique perspective on Jewish identity, resilience, and the meaning of “home” in an ever-changing world.
