A musical journey with Israel Portnoy
What does it mean to carry the name Israel?
Since relocating from Israel shortly before October 7th, singer-songwriter Israel Portnoy (The Portnoy Brothers) has been sharing the power of Jewish music with communities across the U.S. Through soulful melodies, ancient prayers, and timeless songs, he takes audiences on a moving journey through heritage, faith, and identity. Blending beloved classics with his own original music, Israel creates an experience that transcends denominations and generations.
Binding our souls
Singing in Hebrew, English, and even a sprinkle of Yiddish, he weaves together music that is both deeply personal and profoundly universal. From the echoes of tradition to the sounds of today, join ‘Songs of My Namesake’ and rediscover the music that binds our souls together - wherever we call home.
