Merchandise
Shemspeed's website, Shemspeed.com, focuses on Jewish music and music videos, events listings, features and reviews, and a music and apparel store. To promote the website’s launch, Safar booked four concerts in four nights at venues in Jerusalem, London, New York and Los Angeles with over 40 live acts in total.
In early 2010, Shemspeed began selling a blue and white "Israeli keffiyeh" with Stars of David and the Hebrew slogan "Am Yisrael Chai" ("The people of Israel live"). Manufactured by Baruch Chertok’s company, Dveykus, the scarves caused some minor controversy by putting a Jewish spin on the Middle Eastern garb most prominently associated with the former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Safar defended the sale of the keffiyehs, noting that Jews indigenous to the Middle East have worn some variation of the keffiyeh for thousands of years.
Sephardic Music Festival
Shemspeed organizes an annual Sephardic Music Festival, which is held at various venues in New York City around Hanukkah.
Shemspeed released the 2010 compilation album Sephardic Music Festival, Vol. 1, featuring Middle Eastern-influenced tracks from several Jewish artists, including Matisyahu, Pharaoh's Daughter, DeScribe, Moshav and Sarah Aroeste. A second volume was released in 2012.
Hip Hop Sulha
Shemspeed also organizes Hip Hop Sulha, a concert series promoting interfaith tolerance. The concerts have featured Jewish acts such as the Americans Yuri Lane and Y-Love and the Israeli Sagol 59 alongside Arabic artists like Saz and the N.O.M.A.D.S..
