Music has the power to capture the energy of its time. In this video I`ve chosen 11 songs that tell the history of Israel from the Yishuv to the Israeli version of `American Idol`.
I have added subtitles to the video. If you can’t see them, click the CC button in the bottom right-hand corner (or top right-hand corner) of the video.
