When you think about what brings people together — across borders, languages, and beliefs — few forces are as powerful as music. And in a country as complex as Israel, the need for connection, empathy, and unity has never been greater.
That’s where Koolulam comes in. Founded on the simple but radical idea that strangers singing together can shift hearts and build bridges, Koolulam has become a global phenomenon. In parks, stadiums, and public squares, thousands of people — Jewish, Muslim, Christian, secular, religious, Israeli, and Palestinian — have gathered to create massive, breathtaking moments of harmony.
In this episode, I’m thrilled to be joined by Michal Shahaf, the co-founder and CEO of Koolulam, to talk about how a single song can change the atmosphere in a room — and maybe even change the world. We’ll explore the vision behind Koolulam, what it’s like to lead these incredible events, and why music might just be the most powerful peace-building tool we have.
