In celebration of Israel’s 70th anniversary last week, 12,000 Israelis (all strangers before this project!) joined together to sing “Al Kol Eleh” (“Over All of These”). This unique performance included the Jerusalem Street Orchestra, popular Israeli singer Shlomi Shabat, and Israeli President Reuven Rivlin. Enjoy!
