An Historic Story for an Historic Song

The very popular "Goodbye Gan Yisroel" which is sung in all CGI's, was first used in CGI Montral 1992's Color War. When they sang the song at the grand sing, a boy by the name of Yoni Geladi had a solo. The Boy came from a nonreligious home, (if i remember correctly his father was not Jewish and served as a priest), and during his performance the boy broke down crying.

At the banquet of that summer he once more sang his part. Here is a video of that event.
