The website funinjerusalem.com describes Israeli group singing sensation Koolulam this way: “‘Come and sing with strangers’ — that’s part of Koolulam’s mission of spreading joy through music and bringing together diverse groups within Israel.” The following is from the introduction to the video linked below, performed on the occasion of Israel’s 70th anniversary as a nation (August 15, 2018): “To celebrate Israel’s 70th Independence Day, Koolulam invited 12,000 people who hadn’t met before to sing together in a special event with the artist Shlomi Shabat, accompanied by the Jerusalem Street Orchestra, in collaboration with the Office of the President, the Ministry for Social Equality and the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality.” Be sure to read the English subtitles for the beautiful and moving song “Over All These.”
