Israeli/Jewish music

<<I don't consider Israeli Music to be "Jewish Music" as such>>

Are you familiar with the lyrics of any current Israeli music, e.g., Ilana
Avital's song about Russian Aliyah, Yehuda Poliker's stuff about the Holocaust,
Chava Albershtein's song about the Intefada? Israeli artists, like artists of
all countries, address a variety of topics. Many of the topics of modern
Israeli songs relate to Judaism & Zionism. Other topics include Israeli
politics (which many people view as a legitimate Jewish arena), relationships,
Israeli society, etc.~ If you know what you're looking for, there's a
considerable amount of "Jewish" content in Israeli music.
