ABOUT
JOURNEY FROM JOHANNESBURG
South African-born Toby Tobias shares his story of hope during a time of war and upheaval across three continents, from Johannesburg to Jerusalem... then here.
Toby shares the vivid tale of his life in South Africa under the rule of an apartheid government, then in an Israel on the brink of battle for it's own identity, before finding a home, and many stark parallels, in the United States of America.
JOURNEY FROM JOHANNESBURG performs at theaters, colleges, conferences, festivals, libraries, middle and high schools, and religious and community centers.
His inspiring story and his original songs will enlighten, entertain and touch your heart. Come along on the Journey. Contact Toby below.
