#BDS: Bieber-mania storms Israel

Seven producers compete to see who can bring teen idol Justin Bieber to Israel next summer. For anyone wondering whether he does bar-mitzvahs – he does. For $1 million

The 16-year-old teen pop idol who has taken the charts in the US is slated to perform in Israel next summer, according to reports of talks being held between Bieber's agents and producers in Israel.

Bieber, born in Canada, shot into the music industry at the tender age of 12 after his mother uploaded a video of her son performing cover songs to YouTube. Last year, the young pop star came out with his first album, which has won worldwide acclaim.

Bieber's Jewish manager, Scooter Braun, recently gave an interview to Yedioth Ahronoth in which he promised that the young heartthrob will perform in Israel. Now it seems that the promise will indeed be upheld. No less than seven managers are vying for the privilege of bringing Bieber to perform before an audience of Israel fans next summer, or perhaps even earlier in April.

The cost of bringing Bieber to Israel is estimated at $1.5 million at least, of which between $600,000 and $800,000 will go to the star himself.
