Yom HaAtzmaut is Israel’s Independence Day and begins directly after Yom HaZikaron, thus emphasizing the fact that we remember Israeli fallen soldiers because we directly owe Israel’s independence to their commitments and actions to Israel and its people. Yom HaAtzmaut is a huge deal in Israel as Israelis have off from school and party into the night, only coming home at 7 in the morning! Most of our Israeli friends in Rishon went to a concert that lasted all night long with all their favorite bands sharing the stage and giving special performances. However, here in the U.S., Diller celebrated a little differently.
On Thursday, Diller came together again to celebrate and attend a David Broza concert! David Broza is an amazing Israeli music artist. Although many of us Americans hadn’t heard of him, many of our friends in Rishon had and seemed extremely excited for us to see him.
We all met up and piled into a very pact temple to see David Broza’s highly anticipated performance. First of all, David Broza is possibly the best guitarist I have ever seen live. His fingers simply glide into a gorgeous harmony that wraps around his voice which causes the entire crowd to sing and clap along with him.
Of course, as you all probably know, “shy” is probably not an accurate decision of the MetroWest Diller teens. Once Noga started dancing and singing, (and yelling out directly to David Broza himself,) we immediately began to join in. Not knowing the words, but dancing around like no one was watching caused one of the members of the temple to invite us closer to the stage. Following Max’s lead, we all grabbed onto each other and started a gigantic conga line that extended far beyond just Diller. Before our second trip around the room, nearly everyone was grabbing onto one another in order to join the line! In fact, I’m pretty sure David Broza added in a few more chorus’ in order to let us keep dancing to his music.
Ultimately, Yom HaAtzmaut was an awesome night filled with music, Diller, and Israel. We truly celebrated Israel by participating in this event and had so much fun being with each other, dancing, and singing along with David Broza.
But again, this night wouldn’t have been possible without Leah and the extreme enthusiasm and outgoing energy exhibited by Noga, Aliza, and Max.We’d like to thank Leah for organizing and inviting us to this awesome night because we had so much fun and loved every minute. In addition, we’d really like to thank Noga, Aliza, and Max for all their enthusiasm. The conga line and dancing definitely wouldn’t have started without you guys, and that was what made the night so special.
The following is a link to one of the songs we heard last Thursday night. The video definitely demonstrates his amazing talent, however seeing him live was an absolutely amazing experience. Enjoy!! (I know us Dillers did!)
