Real People.
Real Stories.
Real Israel.
Founded in 2001, Israel at Heart connects global audiences with the real Israel—through personal stories, face-to-face dialogue, and authentic human connection.
At Israel at Heart, we believe that the most powerful way to understand Israel is through the voices of its people. Since 2002, we've connected giobal communities with diverse young Israelis -students, soldiers, musicians, and emerging leaders-who share their stories face-tace, far beyond the headlines.
We don't send spokespeople. We send people.
Our Programs
Student Delegation
Since 2002 Israel at Heart has sent hundreds of Israeli University students across the world share their lives, stories, and the everyday realities of living in Israel. These delegations foster human connections that extend far beyond the headlines.
"Our students don't just tell Israel's story-they embody it."
Music and Culture
Why Music?
Music Moves People Before Politics Can
In a world full of debate and division, music offers a shared space. Our artists perform on university campuses, in concert halls, and at intimate community gatherings, opening minds and hearts to the deeper layers of Israeli life. They don't just sing about Israel; they embody it.
Following the October 7th Hamas massacre, Joey Low—founder of Israel at Heart and executive producer of the documentary Screams Before Silence—was driven by both outrage and urgency. Deeply disturbed by the global media’s silence around Hamas’s use of sexual violence, he saw the film as a critical vehicle for truth and justice. “It felt like we were all violated,” Joey said, “and where was the world?” In partnership with Sheryl Sandberg, Joey helped bring the independently funded documentary to life, ensuring it reached millions across the globe in over a dozen languages. His goal: to expose the brutality of Hamas, counter international indifference, and remind the world that silence is complicity. “This film is our voice,” he said, “and we must remember who stood with us—and who didn’t.”
