From the heartfelt psalms of King
David and the singing of the Levites
at the Temple, through the laments of
Babylon and poetic masterpieces of the
middle ages, and finally, to the revival
of Hebrew song and Jewish ingenuity
in music today, the spectacular
soundtrack of the Jewish people has
never ceased.
Ever-changing, ever-alive, the
phenomenal story of Jewish song is that
of faith, perseverance, and hope for a
greater future.

The Jewish Music Hall of Fame will be a spectacular meeting place with the Jewish spirit. A groundbreaking international center for Israeli and Jewish music, it will voice the untold glorious story of Jewish song throughout the ages.
The center’s mission is the digital preservation of lyrics, documents, and other forms of media, highlighting the richness of Jewish song throughout history. Activities and special events will be a focus of interest for diverse populations, both from Israel and abroad. Exhibitions and artistic creations in all matters relating to Israeli music will be on display, showcasing various items of historical and cultural significance.
Petah Tikva of the twenty first century is a leading industrial hub and a hi-tech power. It is a great honor for Petah Tikva, the fourth largest city in Israel, that the Jewish Muisc Hall of Fame will be constructed within it. I invite you to take part in the construction of the Jewish Music Hall of Fame, in which the eternal flame of Jewish creation will continue to spread light, joy and music for generations to come.
