Three years after the October 7th attacks and the outbreak of war, Israeli singer Shlomo Artzi will perform a special concert in the Gaza Envelope region. The show is scheduled for October 22, 2026, at Park Ashkol, and aims to strengthen communities in the south, encourage a return to routine, and foster hope for renewed growth.
This event is a collaboration between the toMix group and the Rashi Foundation, seeking to connect the cultural world with social action for the residents of southern Israel. As part of this initiative, residents of the Gaza Envelope and other southern communities will receive a discounted ticket price of 119 shekels, significantly lower than the regular price of 279 shekels, while supplies last.
Eligible communities include Sderot, Ofakim, Netivot, Ashkelon, Be'er Sheva, kibbutzim in the Gaza Envelope, and other towns in the Negev. Organizers view the concert as a musically significant event for residents still dealing with the war's aftermath, aiming to bolster community spirit and belonging.
Assaf Mor, VP of Marketing and Business Development at TomiX Group, stated that music and culture can be more than entertainment, serving as a way to connect, strengthen, offer hope, and remind people of their unity. He emphasized the collaboration with the Rashi Foundation stems from a desire to do something meaningful for residents of the south and Gaza Envelope who have experienced and continue to experience immense hardship. Mor added that they want to provide an evening of music and joy, a moment of respite, and believe Shlomo Artzi is the ideal artist for this special occasion, expressing pride in participating and working with communities rebuilding their lives.
The Rashi Foundation, active since 1984 in promoting equal opportunities and strengthening peripheral communities, expanded its southern operations following the October 7th attacks. The partnership with toMix aims to integrate the foundation's social work with the group's production and cultural capabilities to support community resilience and the return of normal life to the region.
