ONE MUSIC FESTIVAL THAT WON’T BE
MUSIC TO THE EARS OF BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA
one event you do not want to miss-This Sat night –
Kfar Tapuach 10:00 PM
This coming Saturday night, join hundreds, if not thousands of hardline-supporters of the “settlement” movement who will camp out on a hilltop near “Kfar Tapuach” in the Shomron to take part in a unique, all-night music festival that features some of Israel’s top recording artists, such as Sinai Tor, Dov Shurin. Aaron Razel and Binny Landau.
But more important than being the first of its kind event in the region, perhaps, is the pointed message of defiance that organizers intend to transmit to American President Obama and an increasingly hostile international community through the festival.
Signs advertising the event shout: “Faith in G-d – not Obama! Yes to the hilltops and Temple Mount, No to Capitol Hill”, and appear replete with pictures of the Beth Hamikdash hovering over the White House. Organizers intend to close the event with prayers at dawn and a convoy to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, passing through several newly established hilltops along the way.
Tapuach’s Woodstock
Born out of Tapuach’s weekly Melaveh Malka concert series, this first, all-night “Mikdash Festival,” will be the tool that galvanizes the protest movement in the same way that Woodstock did for America’s hippie generation in the 1960’s, say organizers.
“During these days of intense pressure upon Israel to freeze all building and stifle all Jewish life in Judea, Samaria and parts of Jerusalem, it’s only fitting to respond with an event that brings tens of thousands of proud Jews together to gather strength and encouragement from one another and prepare for the struggle ahead,” says Moshe Kahn, one of the event’s organizers and an attendee of the original Woodstock event on Max Yazgur’s farm in 1969. “Music alone has the strength to accomplish that.”
The music starts this Saturday night at 10:00 PM, though organizers fully expect throngs to begin converging on the area with sleeping bags as early as Friday, and have made contingencies to assist those who wish to spend Shabbat at the site. To find out more about transportation and other matters related to the event, please call 0544876709.
It is unlikely that the 10 shekel cover charge will cover the costs of the event, so organizers are also seeking sponsors to help cover expenses – please email chanoisrael@gmail.com or call 0544876709
