Music that moves the Israeli soul during the Gaza war
War changes us in ways both big and small. Suddenly the favorite Spotify playlist you put on automatically in the car or on the treadmill no longer feels relevant.
What feels right for the times and in tune with the psyche of the nation are Israeli music stations with their “together we will win” jingle, soothing words and music of our best-loved artists.
