Israeli Songs of the Summer of Camp Shelanu
Ms. Roccah was asked to share with Voice4Israel readers five of her favorite Israeli songs that she has been using with the campers at Camp Shelanu.Â
Shelly: âZahavâ- by Static and Ben El – preformed by Israelâs most famous duo. The name of the song means gold.
Editor’s note: The Times of Israel reports that Pop duo Static & Ben El sign with major US record label.
Shelly: “Todu Nom” is another hit by Static and Ben El. This song became specially famous in Brazil, since the name of it is in Brazilian. Tudo Bom means- everything is all right.
Editor’s note: My children love this song and the Mor David Remix of it we found.Â
Shelly: âTel Avivâ by Omer Adam- preformed by Israelâs most famous singer, who won the âbest singer of 2018 â award.
Editor’s note: If you see a car on 15-501 rocking up and down with happy children in the back seat, this song is likely to be playing.
Shelly: âGolden Boyâ- by Nadav Gedj – this song represented Israel in the 2015 Eurovision contest.
Editor’s note: At a recent sleepover of Camp Shelanu campers, this song was on repeat with the children working together to get their choreographed dance moves just right.Â
Shelly: âTazizoâ by Eden Ben Zaken. Eden Ben Zaken was a contestant in Israelâs X Factor.
Editor’s note: This song is listed last, but is certainly not least. This song has been on repeat all summer long in the car. Â
