Acclaimed Israeli singer, actor, and storyteller Shuli Rand makes his long-awaited New York debut in Manhattan for an unforgettable night of music and storytelling. He is joined by musical sensation Shulem Lemmer and MC comedian Elon Gold. Together, they will present an uplifting and inspiring evening that you will never forget.
For decades, Shuli Rand has occupied a unique place in Israeli culture, bridging the worlds of cinema, theater, spirituality, and music. Born and raised in Bnei Brak, Israel, Rand grew up in a traditional religious environment before pursuing acting and eventually studying at the prestigious Nissan Nativ Acting Studio. His journey through secular Israeli theater and later return to a deeply observant religious life has shaped both his artistic voice and his deeply emotional songwriting.
Rand first rose to prominence through his celebrated acting career, earning widespread acclaim for his powerful stage performances and film roles. He is perhaps best known internationally for the award-winning film “Ushpizin,” which he wrote and starred in. The film became a cultural phenomenon, offering audiences an authentic and moving portrayal of faith, struggle, and redemption within Jerusalem’s religious community. Rand’s performances have long been praised for their emotional honesty and depth, qualities that also define his music.
Over the past two decades, Rand has become one of Israel’s most beloved musical artists. His songs blend folk, rock, traditional Jewish melodies, and deeply personal lyrics that speak about faith, longing, joy, and human vulnerability. Among his most beloved hits are “Bein Kodesh L’chol” and “Hamelech Basadeh,” songs that have resonated deeply with audiences across Israel and the Jewish world. His most recent single, “Lev Lavan,” has quickly climbed the charts, further cementing his status as one of the most influential voices in contemporary Jewish music.
Joining him on stage in New York will be his acclaimed band from Israel, bringing the full sound and spirit of his live performances to American audiences for the very first time.
Adding to the evening’s excitement is special guest artist Shulem Lemmer, whose remarkable rise in the international music world has helped redefine contemporary Jewish music. Lemmer made history as the first Orthodox Jewish artist to sign a recording deal with a major label when he partnered with Sony Music. His debut album introduced his rich tenor voice and crossover appeal to a global audience, earning praise from both Jewish and mainstream music listeners alike.
Known for his stirring vocal performances and elegant interpretations of both classical and contemporary songs, Lemmer has appeared on prestigious stages around the world. His collaboration with Sony marked a groundbreaking moment for religious Jewish artists in the broader entertainment industry, opening new doors for faith-based performers in mainstream music.
Together, Shuli Rand and Shulem Lemmer promise an unforgettable evening of music and storytelling in one of New York City’s most iconic concert venues. The performance represents not only Rand’s first-ever New York appearance, but also a rare opportunity for audiences to experience two extraordinary Jewish musical voices sharing one stage.
A group of wounded IDF soldiers, currently in New York for a week of respite, will join the event as well.
