Each year, there is so much emotional Israeli music that emerges in commemoration of Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut. Between new original songs, musical tributes at state ceremonies, and performances at other events around the country, it can be difficult to keep up with it all. This year, however, was no ordinary year. Israel’s Memorial Day was more somber than ever, and Independence Day took on a very different significance. So it only makes sense that we take a second episode to explore the meaningful music that provided the soundtrack to this very important week. You’ll hear uplifting songs celebrating our homeland, gut-wrenching songs mourning our losses, and new takes on classic songs that remind us of what we are fighting for. You’ll also hear Eden Golan (finally) sing the original ‘October Rain’ – performing this year’s Israeli Eurovision entry as it was always meant to be heard. Fasten your seatbelts for yet another emotional roller coaster ride, this week on Israel Hour Radio. (Original Air Date: May 19, 2024)
