Artists
and Musicians for Israel (A.M.I.),
is a performing arts organization that began as the inspiration
of Yehudah
Katz .
Katz, a seasoned Jewish educator, is also the driving
force behind the popular Jewish "rock-and-soul" band Reva
L'Sheva.
A.M.I. uses creative musical and artistic expression
to strengthen Jewish identity and affiliation and commitment with
Israel among Diaspora communities. The A.M.I. program operates in
a community-wide framework that unites diverse types of Jews together
in community-building events.
During the week-long program, A.M.I. artists descend
upon an entire community. Using a six-pronged approach, the team
engages as many and as broad a spectrum of community members as possible,
in terms of age, affiliation and interest.
