About Sulam Yaakov
Sulam Yaakov is a digital home for living Jewish culture — a platform connecting artists, cantors, paytanim, lecturers and creators with communities, institutions and event organizers across Israel.
We built Sulam Yaakov out of a belief that Jewish culture, in all its forms, deserves a respectable, accessible and professional stage — one place where anyone looking for an artist for an event, a community Shabbat, a piyut evening or a lecture, can find them easily and with full confidence.

How it works — and why you can trust us
The money moves directly between you and the artist. Coordination and payment happen directly between you and the artist — they never pass through us. We charge the artist a fixed, transparent success fee on every booking closed through the site (full details on the "How it works" page) — at no cost to the coordinator or organizer.
Your details are kept safe. We follow a strict privacy policy and never share information with external parties.
Real people behind the platform. Have a question? Email us and we'll get back to you personally.
Launch period
During our founding period, all artist registration services — including a fully built personal page — are provided free of charge. We're building this community together with you.
