ShalomLife interview on Israel Beat

"There is more to Israel than the political situation. I want to show another side of Israel. I want to show the rich world of music that exists here. I try and ask each musician 'what is Jewish music' or 'what is Israeli music?' I want my interviews to be in-depth and meaningful but also fun."
