Barbra Streisand Sings Hatikvah in Tel Aviv Concert
Last week we posted a video of Barbra Streisand singing Avinu Malkeinu in Jerusalem to honor Israeli Preisident Shimon Peres on his 90th birthday. That post had the second highest number of page views since we started Jewish Humor Central in October 2009.
From Jerusalem she went to Tel Aviv to give a concert that included some of her greatest hit songs from her long singing career. We thought that we just had to follow up the Avinu Malkeinu video with Barbra's rendition of Hatikva at the Tel Aviv concert. Let's see if this one rivals or beats the Avinu Malkeinu video in views.
And thanks to Barry Shaw, who posted it on YouTube for all of us to see.
Enjoy!

How beautiful and heartfelt.
ReplyDeleteLousy camera work.
ReplyDeleteSorry I have no control over the camera work. Just be glad someone in the crowd had a smartphone and gave us a chance to be at the concert.
DeleteI guess I was spoiled by a week of jokes. Ms Streisand did a beautiful job of a beautiful song but I still prefer humor.
ReplyDeleteThis is our history/heritage in harmony.
ReplyDeleteDon't care about the camera or anything else. Grateful for the footage.
Eretz Yisroel is our world! I find this highly emotional!
We can all be proud of Israel and our Jewish heritage.
