got HaDag Nachash to play. It was pretty awesome. We got there a little early and had some time to walk around Jerusalem, well, not really Jerusalem, just the central bus station. So I grabbed some pizza with Elana and Lena and then we headed over the the concert. Right next door there was a hasidic wedding and we were looking over the fence to try and watch.
Left: Me and Kayla looking really enthused as we wait for the concert to start.
At the last concert, Idan Raichel played and Natan Sharansky spoke. This time, Sharansky spoke again, but after Bibi Netanyahu warmed up the crowd for him. I'm not his biggest fan but it still was pretty cool seeing him in person. And it would have been even better if there was a really loud group of Uruguayan teenagers sitting behind us whistling and shouting the whole time. At least I got to practice my Spanish even if it was just "Shut up! Do people not know how to be quiet in Uruguay? He's the Prime Minister!"
Bibi didn't say anything so groundbreaking, just praised us for coming to Israel, praised Israel for being amazing and made not so veiled hints at making Aliyah.
HaDag Nachash was pretty cool. They're one of the biggest bands in Israel right now and they play a fusion of hip hop and funk. They played lots of their new songs at the beginning that I hadn't really heard, but then they brought out some old classics and I got to dance and sing along much to everyone's dismay (see photo on the left). Good night.
