#69 Hommage to Paris
Episode description
This week, we dedicate the show to Paris and France, as a tribute to our French friends who are going through a difficult time.
Many Israelis don’t even know that some of the famous songs they enjoy humming are actually French songs translated into Hebrew – so we sample some of those.
Guy Sharett also teaches us some new words like ga’agu’a – ‘longing.’ A tout de suite!
