together in a show of unity through music. He has the distinction of being the first religious Jewish singer to ever perform there. In addition, Gad invited famous secular Israeli singers to sing with him at this historic performance. This concert was recorded by channel 24 of Israel and has been broadcasted on that channel frequently.

In 2009, he began a multi-city world tour to promote his music and message.
