If you heard there was an artist in Israel whose grandparents were all Russian and whose first instrument was the accordion, Idan Raichel is probably not the first person who would pop into your head. On February 28, I had the incredible pleasure of meeting Idan (I think we’re on a first-name basis at this point…after all, I did introduce myself to him as Ben) when the Idan Raichel Project performed for over 2,500 MASA participants in Jerusalem.
