Photo Essay: Boombamela Festival Welcomes Torah Outreach

When Guy Arnon and his wife Galia started producing the Boombamela festival, he didn't expect it to result in a bar mitzvah, especially not his own. The husband and wife team have been coming to Nitzanim beach for the past seven years for one of Israeli's best known and longest running beach festivals.

This year it attracted about 15,000 - 20,000 people, mostly secular Israeli teenagers and twenty- somethings for three days of music, swimming and a new age vibe over Chol HaMoed Passover. But Galia and Guy aren't the only husband and wife team on the beach.
