Itai Levi in advanced talks to join the 2026 Festigal

Singer Itai Levi is in advanced talks with the Festigal production team about the upcoming Hanukkah show, according to a report by mako. There is still no final agreement, but the production is seriously considering adding him to the large Hanukkah 2026 production.

Levi has appeared in Festigal before, and his name has now resurfaced as one of the possible stars for the next show. Despite the progress in negotiations, no official announcement has been made.

The report says it is still unclear what role Levi would play if he joins. One option is a full part in the show’s plot, while another is a guest appearance only, similar to Shiri Maimon’s appearance last year.

The news comes shortly after it was revealed that Omer Nudelman is also in talks to take part in the upcoming Festigal, adding to the interest around the show’s lineup.
