After that Marianne Faithfull and Paul McCartney where there lately, I guess you have a chance to see Lenny there, mate!

Most concerts will be in the South and West, especially Southwest!

I wonder when is a concert in Israel going to take place. I dont know if Leonard Cohen himself or his agents see these comments, but I think it is only natural for LC to give us a visit to Israel, dont you think?

As Leonard Cohen is jewish he ought to come to Isreael, the jewish country!

I was just wondering, if we could/should start a petition for a concert in Isreal, when all the other concerts are so far away from you...

Actually,
Thank you for your support.
Any initiative is very welcome. There is already one running here in Israel, calling devotees to sign
http://www.leonard.co.il/index.asp and there are over 7,000 people already, with over 10,000 tickets they wish to acquire.
I opened this thread in hope to bring Leonard and the management's attention to us one more time.
So, anything which can support this noble cause, is deeply appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Inna.

Hm although I couldn't come down there, I would at least sign your petition, but unfortunately I'm not able to read it.

Leonard should perform in Israel because he has a very large loyal fan base here , that are working in every possible way to create the chance of seeing him performing here.

I too would like to sign your petition but do not understand Hebrew. Is a translation possible? Or if I could give you the information you need, perhaps you could enter the information for me. If that is possible please send me a pm and I will forward you my name, address or whatever. My hope is that your hopes will be realized soon!
All the best,
Diana

Dear Diana and Actually
Thank you very very much for your support. It means so much!
As for this particular petition, I mentioned it as an example of what is going on in Israel these days - it is meant for Israeli residents (hence it's in Hebrew) who, when signing up, need also to enter the number of tickets they wish to acquire for a potential concert in Israel. That is to show both Leonard's and our local managers a realistic picture of not only how many people, but also how many actual tickets will be acquired if a concert is to take place here.
Therefore, there is no need for you to sign up, but a big big than you for your support. It warms my heart and gives me hope.
Sincerely,
Inna.

Hi Inna,
Ah, now I understand. Thanks so much for letting us know. Not that I would mind coming to Israel for one of Leonard's concerts but I doubt my finances would be up to it! At any rate, I wish you all the best and that your dream will be fulfilled!

I would fly from Ireland to Israel for an LC concert if the dateswere suitable. Hope you are successful.
