Hasidic Singer Moti Steinmetz at Omer Adam's Wedding

Israeli pop singer Omer Adam's upcoming wedding to partner Sasha Israelovich in Italy continues to generate public interest, with the latest detail proving particularly unexpected: Hasidic singer Moti Steinmetz will perform at the ceremony. According to initial reports in Israeli media, Adam personally selected Steinmetz to appear at one of the most significant moments of his life due to his deep appreciation for the singer's work.

The wedding is scheduled for this Thursday at a 14th-century former Christian monastery that has been converted into one of the most prestigious event venues in the Portofino region of Italy. Steinmetz's performance will be part of a diverse lineup of live entertainment planned throughout the evening. Other scheduled performers include an ethnic band chosen by Adam, what appears to be a major international DJ, and a special concert featuring Israeli DJ Amit Agami and conductor Meir Briskman alongside a classical orchestra that incorporates electronic music elements.

The couple's guests are expected to board a private flight Tuesday morning to Milan, from where they will continue to Portofino and arrive that evening for a welcome reception. The wedding itself will take place on Wednesday in a two-part event with a strict dress code requiring formal gowns and suits.

According to reports from Israeli television, venue rental costs approximately 30,000 euros per evening, with each additional hour costing another 3,000 euros. The property contains only 11 rooms and suites, and booking them requires a minimum three-night stay at a cost of approximately 150,000 shekels (roughly $40,000).

The couple faced an unexpected challenge regarding the traditional Shabbat Chatan celebration. Portofino, where the wedding festivities are taking place, has no local Jewish community. The solution involves traveling to nearby Genoa, which has an active Jewish community, where the couple is expected to hold the Shabbat Chatan at one of the city's synagogues.

Wedding celebrations are scheduled to begin Sunday, August 23, and continue throughout the week. According to reports, the couple has chosen to hold a relatively small and intimate event, with family members and close friends in attendance, while attempting to maintain as much privacy as possible for the celebrations.

Adam recently decided to take an extended break from performances and has not been booking new shows in the near future. The primary reason is preparation for his wedding to Israelovich. Apart from previously committed engagements, including the NEXT Festival and already scheduled performances, Adam is not expected to participate this year in the Tamar Festival tour circuit either.
