Summary

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!
