Idan Raichel's Project - Mima'amakim
Tuesday morning I will fly to Holland, to work on a book project. I am not sure if I will have time to post anything in the next three weeks. In the meantime here are two of my favorite love songs by one of my favorite contemporary Israeli songwriters/bands.

J.S. Bach - Kommt, ihr Toechter...
The opening chorus of Bach's Matthaeus Passion, BWV 244, performed by the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, directed by Ton Koopman. About a year ago I put it on my MP3 player, which contains about 130 songs and musical pieces ( classical music, Enya, Loreena McKennitt, Einaudi, Joop Visser ) and which will accompany me next week on the plane on my way to Holland.
