Yakov Shwekey - Keli Keli - Music Video

A few days after the terrible disaster on Mount Meron, Yaakov Shwekey presents a new melody to the words “Keli Keli Lomo Azavtoni”, along with a video clip dedicated to the memory of the 45 victims of the Meron disaster.

Shwekey has a personal acquaintance with one of the fallen, the young man Yossi Kahn, from Cleveland, Ohio.

“There are no words to describe the magnitude of the terrible disaster,” says Shwekey. “He affected me as he did all the people of Israel. The least I can do is express my feelings through song, and I wanted to do something so that we would not forget the memories of those saints.”

Shwekey adds: “On the days of the shiva, the mother of the late Yossi Kahn told me that she was afraid that the world would move on and forget the Meron saints in time. So we tried to do something small, so that we would not forget and always remember them.”
