Busking in Jerusalem


   There is a place to sing beautiful music on Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem's city center. This video clip was filmed by tourists visiting Israel from Turkey. We are now friends and maybe one day I'll be playing the streets of Turkey! It was a good day that day.

  The song I am singing in the video clip above is called "There is a Place". I enjoy performing this song because it is still not final. I improvise as I play it. It is a love song and I love Love songs! I also feel a deep connection with this song to the people I sing to who are living their last days in hospice. (I also am a Certified Clinical Musician - http://www.musicpractitioner.com). 

THERE IS A PLACE c 1996 by Rahel (aka Ann R. Silverman-LImor) 

There is a place
There is a place in my heart
There is a place
There is a place I find me
I find You
It's the place where our Love dwells
We can know no other
It's the place where our Love dwells
We have each other
We have each other


   Way back in 1976 I was one of the first buskers in Jerusalem. People would come, listen and also shout out that we should get a proper job.





   Even today, when buskers are abundant in certain parts of the world, music is still regarded as a hobby - sadly.



   I love busking! 
It's where you see life and meet the most interesting people.

Rahel MUSIC Event at the Janca - Dada Museum Ein Hod ISRAEL

I've always been curious about collaborating with visual artists. This "dream" came true at a Music/Art concert at the Marcel Janco-Dada museum. I played my collection of songs from my TIKKUN album while artists created their work. It was a good experience for the artists and the audience. I even received a few portraits from audience members! Enjoy a musical tour of Ein Hod Artist Village as you watch and listen!

Setting off to South Korea

Image
   Today marks the beginning of a new adventure into unknown and unfamiliar territory. The South Korean dream begins as I continue to wonder, “Why South Korea??” My daughter reminded me - - it’s THE big adventure. Yes, that it is!    I received many well wishes from my friends and family in Israel as I set off. I appreciated their/your kind words of support even though I know in their/your hearts they/you wish that I was finally back in Israel for good. Please bear with me. I'll be back! Truthfully it was a bit strange and unusual not hearing the long-time familiar chant encouraging me to stay put. I guess true friends really understand that we all have our paths to follow. G-D has a plan. Even though I had planned it differently from the start, I ended up selling my house and moving in the dead of the NH winter. Then Israel became the first stop on this 7 th decade adventure so that I could be there for my daughter's wedding. At least I know now where I belong even
