Miri Aloni performed in front of a half-empty auditorium on the eve of Independence Day in Haifa

On the eve of Independence Day, 5/5/22, among the multitude of performances, there was also a performance by the veteran singer and petitioner for rights, Miri Aloni. But Aloni found herself performing on the eve of Independence Day in front of a half-empty hall.


The debate surrounding the advertising budget of the municipality of Haifa

In response to a post on Facebook, in which it was claimed that the Haifa municipality almost did not publicize the event, the spokesperson of the municipality, Eliran Tal, replied that there are residents of the city, who only look for the bad and instead of congratulating tens of thousands of Haifaites, who came out to enjoy the municipal shows, they refer to the minority present at Aloni's show. Tal added that the show was scheduled only this week and therefore less publicized. In addition, he claimed that the opposition council cut the municipal advertising budget by 90% and these are the results.

Cliche: "The role of a municipality is not to entertain the residents"

It should be noted that in the last two years there were no Independence Day celebrations due to the corona virus (last year there were events within the restrictions of the corona virus) and therefore the happy year was bigger than usual. In addition, the mayor Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem announced immediately upon taking office that she believes that the role of the municipality is not to amuse the residents and therefore she stopped the outdoor events, which characterized the previous mayor Yona Yahav.

In the last year, the trend changed a little, and the holiday of the holidays was celebrated with a large municipal investment, as was Independence Day. First class artists performed on a large number of stages and the entire city came out to celebrate the 74th Independence Day of the State of Israel.

Sarit Golan: "The advertising budget for Independence Day is under a separate section and will not be cut"

In a post on Facebook, council member Sharit Golan Steinberg responded that it is wrong to blame the council for any budget change, since sometimes there is a budget, it is just under a different section and so in this case as well. The advertising budget for Independence Day is under a separate section and is not cut.

  1. I have no words for the shepherd and the cynicism of this mayor where did they find this trouble?

  2. I think a great artist is not measured by the audience he brings but by the audience that comes.
    Miri Aloni is one of the greatest artists who have ever come to the State of Israel, so she should not be measured by the audience she brings, but by the audience that comes.
    Miri is one of those great artists who doesn't need to make a living from her performances, the millions she earned in the past, today she needs the love of the audience and of course she gets that in abundance and that's what's important.
    Or as guards of dignity or honor and there is no denying that there is a lot of honor.

    • Let's not exaggerate, turn any lovable singer into the biggest artist of the country.
      Released several hits and acted in several films. About everyone who was in the Nahal band had the same career.

  3. More serious:
    A stadium that cost NIS 600 million - stands completely empty and desolate.
    No performances on Independence Day, no performances in the summer. Wasteland Stadium.
    A bit of garbage of disturbed fans stabbing each other, is that what they built it for??
    In any other city in the world the stadiums are constantly used for big shows, not just for basketball (that's the name of the sport according to its level here).
    All summer the stadium is completely empty.
    Who decided that??? A horrendous waste of public facilities that stand desolate for many months.
    Even on Independence Day, you can't enjoy this facility??

  4. is this serious I would come to see and hear Miri Aloni just to hear her sing "Under the Eucalyptus Tree", one of my favorite songs ever.

  5. Go home already. I don't understand anything about city management. This woman is not clear.. she lives in a parallel world

  6. Cliché and the show of wild pigs - a daily routine in Haifa.. A wretched mayor and skilled companies.

  7. We pay the highest property taxes in the country, why can't the municipality entertain its residents
    Klish, the residents are not interested in the neglected city since she is the mayor. She does not want to invest in any area

  8. Yes, Mrs. Klish, your job is to stop projects. You stopped the whole city. You brought a dietitian to the city.

  9. You wrote a demagogue. The hall was almost full, the bleachers less so. Why only photograph the rows of the bleachers, why give the wrong title "empty hall" ???
    True, there was a problem with advertising, it would have been better to advertise on billboards as well, also the performance was not only Miri Aloni's but it was preceded by singing in public, not everyone connects to singing in public and maybe that's why they didn't fill the hall. In any case, Miri Aloni was great and received a lot of warmth and hugs from the audience. And appreciated it too. Hope you come again next year. Chaya Arad was also a guest and sang several songs. All the songs are assets of the iron sheep of Israeli poetry. Whoever did not come lost.
