Naomi Shemer, one of the most famous voices and songwriters in Israeli folk music began her journey to the next world. She was 74.
Her most famous song was Yerushalayim Shel Zahav -- Jersusalem of Gold - about Jersusalem before the start of the Six Day War in 1967, and is forever associated with that war.
I loved many of her other songs, including Kinnert which used the lyrics of Rachel.
All the news stories gathered by google.
In the words of Education and Culture Minister Limor Livnat: "The kingdom of Hebrew singers has lost its queen."
I'll bet she will teach those angels a thing or two about song.
