Shahar Tavoch and Eden Ben Zaken Join Festigal 2026 Lineup
The production team of Festigal 2026 has announced that Shahar Tavoch will join the list of performers for the upcoming Hanukkah event. Eden Ben Zaken is set to appear as a guest artist in the second part of the show, continuing the tradition of featuring prominent guest performers like Sarit Hadad and Tzvika Pick in previous years.
In addition to the main performers, the Festigal production has opened auditions for the "Festigal Kids," targeting boys and girls aged 9 to 13 who have talents in acting, singing, dancing, or acrobatics. Candidates must be available for filming days in August and rehearsals in November, leading up to the performances scheduled for December. Priority will be given to those who have not previously appeared on the Festigal stage.
Registrations for the auditions are now open on the Festigal website, and suitable candidates will be invited to subsequent selection rounds. The announcement marks the beginning of preparations for the annual cultural event, which is a staple of the Israeli Hanukkah celebrations.
