Leora Rivlin is accompanied by musicians in a musical performance. Songs of Rivlin, along with surprising versions of well-known hits, document moments of observation in pictures of life.

Melody, adaptation, and keyboard: Shaul Besser: Artistic director and electric guitar: Yemi Visler; Drums: Gadi Peter; production: Orna Gretz.
