Omer Adam sells out Brooklyn arena, adds a second New York show
Israeli pop star Omer Adam performed at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Sunday night for a sold-out crowd of 19,000.
He mixed popular Israeli songs with religious hymns and a prayer and tribute for Israeli soldiers.
The audience included many young and Orthodox Jewish attendees, and people waved Israeli flags during the show.
The concert offered a celebratory gathering for Jewish New Yorkers at a time when anti-Israel politics have affected other cultural events in the city.
Adam is one of Israel’s most popular performers, and his New York concert followed a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden last year.
