It's been more than 80 days since the horrors of October 7th, and the healing process still has a very long way to go. There are more than 100 hostages hidden somewhere (presumably) beneath Gaza, we learn daily of more fallen Israeli soldiers, and yes, we still are a very pained nation. Can music help us heal? You tell us. This week, many of the songs are as depressing as can be...but maybe that's exactly what we need to help us move forward. We continue to look at the music of Operation Swords of Iron, as Israel Hour Radio helps you connect to the complicated mess of emotions deep inside every Israeli citizen.
