Music Challenge - Day Seven

Greetings Wonderers!!

I know it's been a while, but now that I have returned from the Promised Land (Israel, for those who are uninformed) with a bazillion pictures, some souvenirs, and a gaggle of new friends, I shall return to the blogosphere and continue to tell of my adventures in Wonderland.

Clearly this music challenge thing is going to take me exponentially longer than 30 days... but whatever, I'm doing it.

I would like you to know that I have been saving this particular challenge day for a reason.  I had a funny feeling that I'd come back from Israel with a song that reminded me of my Taglit-Birthright trip.  Congratulations to me, I get a gold star for being correct!

Day 07 - A Song That Reminds You of a Certain Event:

For those of you who don't read, speak, or understand Hebrew (and I'm assuming most of you don't, because, well... I don't) this song is called "Salaam" (or "Sallam" depending on where you find it) by a guy named Mosh Ben Ari (or Sheva, according to this video and iTunes.)  It's a song about peace.  And it's fun.

Basically, we listened to this song A LOT on this trip.  Enough, in fact, that by the end of the trip, we all knew the words (yeah, it's basically like three lines)  We even had a group sing-a-long (lead, on guitar, by one of our group members who we lovingly refer to as our Cruise Director) on our way to the airport to go home.

Other contenders included "Hallelujah" (By Leonard Cohen) which I was lucky enough to lead with Cruise Director during a jam session on our last night in Jerusalem, and a song called "Jessica" by a group called Ethnix.  Oh, and the entire soundtrack of The Lion King.  Which we also listened to (and sang along with) on the bus.  Our group is awesome like that.  Shout out to RT 24-125!!!
