February 23rd marked 20 years since the untimely passing of Ofra Haza, who left us in 2000 at age 41. Simply put, Ofra meant EVERYTHING to her fans. She represented the very best that Israel had to offer…a true ‘rags to riches’ story, pride in her Yemenite heritage, a lover of the Land of Israel, a voice like no other, a gorgeous person inside and out, and a genuinely nice and humble individual. This week, we celebrate Ofra’s musical career with her most popular songs, covers of her songs sung by others, our own interview with Ofra from 1996, and a fascinating look into her role in ‘The Prince of Egypt’…which she recorded (flawlessly) in 18 languages! (Original air date: 2/23/20)
