The Israel Philharmonic with the IDF Orchestra - Naomi Shemer's "Al Kol Eleh"

 

"Please do not uproot the planted, Do not forget the hope. 

Bring me back and I shall return to the good land." 

Today is Chol Hamoed, the intermediate day of Passover, but it's still a struggle to say "Happy Holidays". We found words of encouragement and comfort in the song "Al Kol Eleh”, (For All These), the words of encouragement that Naomi Shemer wrote to her widowed sister. 

Join us in watching and listening to the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the musicians of the IDF Orchestra conducted by Major Rom Shamir in this timeless entreaty to God. We hope the line "Hashiveni v'ashuva" (Bring me back and I shall return) is heard and that our hostages return soon. 

Moadim L'simcha!
