(Scroll down for video) U.S. singing sensation Barbra Streisand will give her Israeli fans a special treat. The singer is planning to sing in Hebrew at her upcoming concerts in Tel Aviv.
A member of the Streisand team, who is involved in the touring plan of the legendary singer, confirmed that she is preparing to sing one or two songs in the local language.
Streisand, 71, will perform twice at two concerts in the Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv this week. This will be the first time that the Jewish star will perform in Israel. The singer, who suffered from stage fright, refused to perform at concerts around the world, despite her huge popularity.
The visit to Israel is particularly significant because Streisand is celebrating her 100th performance of her career in Tel Aviv.
The singer is very excited about her upcoming Israeli performances, one of her managers said.
Streisand is currently on a ten-day stay in Israel. She met with President Shimon Peres, received an honorary doctorate in philosophy from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and toured the country.
