At first, I was just going to buy a ticket in order to make a donation, but I was not planning to attend the concert. Then, the animal rescue woman encouraged me to attend. She and a friend picked me up in a car and we drove to the Old City in Beer Sheva to attend the concert.
All of the music and announcements and comedy were in Hebrew, except for one song. But, I was still able to enjoy the music and the sounds of the Hebrew and especially the reactions of the audience. Most of the board members came up and greeted me warmly in English. They made me feel very welcome.
Most of the people attending were on the board for Beer Sheva loves animals or were foster volunteers for the organization. It was wonderful to see them relaxing and having fun because I know how hard they work for animal advocacy the rest of the time.
I had been concerned about feeling out of place due to my age as well, but the first performer was a woman my age. She sang and played acoustic guitar beautifully.
