First of all, can someone please tell me the name of the song that Gaon sings at the concert that makes Rachel cry? I love that song but I don't know what it's called.
Also does anyone know where one can buy the soundtrack for this movie? I remember back when they were first advertising this movie, the official website had the whole soundtrack to download but I've since lost it & would love to buy it.
Thanks & toda raba!
I don't know the answer to your question, but I can add something else, for non-Israelis.
Yehuram Ga'on is identified in Israel for his Sepharadic (descendants of Jews expelled from Spain in 1492, though misused to refer to any "Eastern" Jew), so it's fun to see him singing Ashkenazi (European Jewish) cantoral music.
Another interesting casting decision is Assi (ben Moshe) Dayan, a well known leftist, playing the right wing settlers' leader.
The text is from the Ashkenazi weekday morning liturgy, imploring God to "Look from heaven and see us ridiculed by the nations, considered as sheep bound for slaughter..." Very fitting background for the mother's crying over her daughters' and her own suffering.
