Discover two musical culture heroes in episodes from the 2010 Israeli television series of the same name.
 
Zubin Mehta and I
This engaging, quirky and intimate film explores the power of music and Mehta—the man whose name is synonymous with classical music in Israel—as well as the filmmaker’s own grandmother, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra’s first harpist. Director: Ori Sivan

Chava Alberstein, Singer
Often thought of as the voice of Israel itself, Alberstein has been performing, writing and recording for almost 50 years. Her popular songs reflect on both her deep Jewish roots and her profound connection to Israel. Director: Sivan Arbel
