[AUDIO BELOW] [Submitted by Ron Benvenisti] The following song was written and composed in honor of the release of IDF Soldier Gilad Shalit, who was released Tuesday after 5 years of Hamas captivity in a historic prisoner swap deal.
The song, in Hebrew, was written and sung by Alon Rand, and the arrangement is produced, recorded and played with live samples on the keyboards by Ron Benvenisti.
The original engineering and flute was done by Avi Piamenta.
See video of Gilad arriving at the IAF Base in Tel Nof, Israel.
So happy to see Galid returned safe!
A Mitzvah for all
daddy u did an amazing job on this song! so glad to see galid safe at last!
Thats a really strong young man right there. he withstood what many would have mentally broke down from a long time ago.
In my book.. this is one of the strongest men in this world. you can hurt him physically, isolate him, take away what he knew as life, put him in a hole 40feet under ground…. and he still will survive. A TRUE HERO.
god bless soldier.
I am happy to see him returned safe and sound, but to release 1000 terrorists back into the arms of fellow terrorists is very sad indeed. This is a situation that is happy today, but not happy tomorrow.
G-D bless Gilad….wonderfull news.
indeed a real hero.
no jew will be left behind
A thousand dollar bill is worth more than a thousand shekels.
Just a beautiful site to see Gilad back at home.
