Jerusalem

This week we ventured to the city of Jerusalem by watching the award winning film Jerusalem, which focuses on the connection of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to the city. If you are interested, this documentary is available on Amazon Prime. 

Israeli Music

Given our lessons/discussions about Tel-Aviv, Israeli food, and the diversity of the Israeli culture, yesterday's lesson focused on the different genres of Israeli music. We sampled music from various artists, both modern and classic. Some songs were a little too "weird" for the students, but we enjoyed laughing at the videos together. Here are a few below:

Netta - "Bassa Sababa" (This artist was this year's Eurovision winner)

Static & Ben El with J Balvin - "Tudo Bom" (Portuguese, Hebrew, and English; Played on the radio here in the US)

Liora Isaac - "Mala mala" (Indian-Israeli Artist)

Idan Raichel Project - "Mi Ma'amakim" (Band sings songs in Hebrew, German, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, Amharic, and English)

Next week is our Saturday family program! We are looking forward to seeing you all then!
