FIGHTING THE WILDFIRES: The ongoing wildfires in Australia horrified people worldwide, and groups in Israel with ties to Australia have put together a musical fundraising event in Tel Avivs Hangar 11 this Monday to help restore the damaged wildlife and nature. Everyone is performing free of charge, Israel-Australia Chamber of Commerce head Paul Israel told Haaretz. He added that the venues Australian-born owner, Zev Eizik, donated his space for the event. Guest performances include Koolulam. Israel, who hails from Melbourne, said Koolulam was in Australia two months ago, and he got their number through a woman they befriended there. I just rang them, and they said yes on the spot. Hagit Yaso, the 2011 Star is Born winner who was a guest of the Australian community a year ago, will also perform, along with Australian-Israeli singer-songwriter Savannah Zwi and trumpeter Arik Davidov.
