- God, people, land and,
of course, food... These are the things that make a country what
it is. Israel, unique amongst the nations of the world, is also
the most diverse religiously, ethnically, geographically, and
culinarily due to its historic role as "the belly button
of the universe" (as Israelis like to call it). "Israel
in Song" takes you on a visual adventure of this land of
extremes, traveling through the wooded green mountains and hills
of the north to the desert springs of the south, from the urban
landscapes of Israel's four major cities to the coasts of the
Mediterranean, the Dead Sea, and the Red Sea at Eilat, stopping,
of course, to appreciate all the wildlife in between.
- Christians, Jews, Moslems,
and Druze come together in a collage of city and village life
that features the traditional dress, festivals, religious rituals,
and most famous houses of worship of them all. Whether at work
in the olive groves or fishing in the fields, playing together
at skateboarding or surfing, or shopping side-by-side in the
outdoor market, as the camera sweeps from one location to another,
the true proximity in which they live becomes strikingly clear.
- Sprinkled with historical
footage, the viewer witnesses first-hand the most important stages
and moments of the state's founding and development. Military
victory and loss, early immigrant life on the "kibbutzim",
and crucial political figures and events give depth and meaning
to the modern panorama of life in Israel.
- This land is, however,
first and foremost the Jewish Homeland, a land of redemption
for God's Chosen People. 35 folk, religious, and even modern
songs from every corner of their exile and Israel itself, lamenting
and celebrating every aspect of the Jewish experience, invest
your visual journey with an emotional intensity that... well,
it's o.k. if you cry. But they're all in Hebrew, right? Yes,
indeed. But we suspected you might like to sing along, so we've
phonetically transliterated (written the Hebrew words spelled
out in English letters) every song on the screen as they're sung,
and included a booklet of all the songs, their English transliterations,
and translations and summaries. B'kayf! (Have fun!)
