Who We Are
Kolamba is a digital platform that connects Israeli and Jewish creators, artists, and speakers with Jewish communities around the world.
The Problem We Are Solving
In today’s Jewish cultural landscape, there is a significant gap.
Many Israeli artists, lecturers, and creators wish to perform for Jewish communities abroad but lack the knowledge, connections, or access to reach them.
At the same time, Jewish communities worldwide are eager to experience and engage with authentic Jewish and Israeli culture – but often have no easy way to discover or contact relevant artists.
As a result, only a small number of well-known and well-connected artists manage to secure tours or book appearances – and always in the same established communities — while the vast majority of artists and communities remain out of the loop.
Kolamba bridges this gap by creating a simple, efficient, and inspiring connection between creators and communities.

Future Vision
Following the initial phase connecting Israeli creators with Jewish communities in the US, Kolamba will expand to include artists and communities across the global Jewish world.
Every creator who travels abroad returns home enriched by the diversity of Jewish life, becoming a bridge builder and agent of change within Israeli society itself.
In the future, Kolamba aims to become the “Google-meets-Airbnb” of Jewish culture — featuring an online culture magazine, culinary guide, and annual festival.
It will transform the Jewish world into a vibrant, global village strengthening Jewish identity and shaping the next generation of Jewish connection.
