Israel has always been effective at generating headlines but on January 31st, with the help of new, innovative non-profit organization ISRAMERICA, New York residents will get to sample a refreshing and entertaining side of Israeli culture in the form of up and coming, hot, Israeli talent.

Integrating the works of a group of fiercely talented young artists, ISRAMERICA brings you an all star line-up, of Israeli and Jewish-American performers, many of which have been featured on Broadway, and Off, various TV shows on Comedy Central, MTV and HBO, as well as premiere music, and comedy venues all over New York. This promises to be, an outstanding night of music, and comedy that will have you ‘shvitizing' in your seat!

Featuring the comedic stylings of Ophira Eisenberg (Comedy Central's Premium Blend, VH-1's Oxygen), Vanessa Hidary- "The Hebrew Mamita" (Def Poetry on HBO, Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad), Harrison Greenbaum (Spike TV, Stand Up NY) , Michelle Slonim ( Sex and the Holy Land, Jewtopia) and the music of Asia Mei, (who recently performed with Andrea Bocelli at Carnegie Hall), Noah Aaronson , Shira Kobren, Jeff Jacobs and more!

ISRAMERICA was founded by Sivan Hadari, a self proclaimed Isramerican, and is co-produced by Sharon Ben-Tovim and Jamie Rosler.
