<p>“I was inspired to be part of this,” Peretz said in an interview from Israel, “and honored to be invited.” </p>
<p>“Iyeh kef gadol,” he added, promising a really fun show, and hinting that perhaps he and co-headliner Matisyahu will prepare something special for the concert. </p>
<p>Matisyahu brings a different flavor altogether. His spiritual, cerebral mash-up of reggae, hip-hop and beat-boxing will make for an intriguing contrast. The ILC hopes that together the entertainers will attract a wide and varied audience that ranges from young children to the elderly, from Israelis to Americans, from city dwellers to residents of the Valley and beyond. </p>
<p>“This is an incredibly unique and ambitious undertaking,” said David Siegel, consul general of Israel in Los Angeles, who arrived in August and has already had several meetings with the ILC and was briefed on the project even before taking office. He will speak at the event and enjoy the concert with his family.</p>
<p>“Paving the way for thousands of people to be involved and give back is fascinating,” philanthropist Haim Saban, a major funder of the ILC’s projects, wrote in an e-mail. “I don’t know about any other event of this magnitude that allows people to come and enjoy such an evening in such a venue in exchange for giving back community volunteering hours — a brilliant idea to get people involved.” </p>
