Let me introduce you to Sackboy from the video game Little Big Planet. This used to be Sony's prized possession. Not anymore! Read more here and watch the videos below.
Is Little big planet officially dead?
Here is a video how Sony Destroyed their own legacy:
Here is another user's thought about Little Big Planet:
Here is my friend Rick Recht singing all about rainbows. Sackboy would have loved to sing along. I'm sure Rick might have played this game.
Here are some Jewish Artists in prayer:
While we are talking about video games, I think showing this next music video is very appropriate. Here is Ella Li singing This is ME. She must love video games. (Great K-Pop Song!) Read more here.
Every time I see a crane / claw / suction cup machine, I keep remembering how i actually won a David Broza CD from a suction cup type crane machine. (The only time I ever won something from one of these!) Below is a picture of what I won!
Here is David Broza singing Things Will Get Better:
I would like to introduce you to an interesting performer. אלי משה Eli Moshe.
Click the Live Pic to listen to a past episode.
I met him on Facebook. He sings weekly "LIVE". He doesn't sing for 5 minutes. He sings for 2- 3 hours. I don't know anyone that can do that. Eli is so amazing. This guy has created songs for Israeli celebrities and is so incredible. In my eyes he is the King of Israeli Music. You can purchase his album on Apple Music.
Our long-distance friendship is interesting. Each week I can't wait until he jumps online and starts performing. I never leave my seat and I have a front row ticket.
One of the reasons I feel close to Eli is that he has the same values I have and it is "Always doing nice things and making people feel awesome!" My dad always told me to be helpful and do my best to make the world a better place.
Stay tuned to my blog for a go fund me to invite Eli to come to Arizona and if possible other states to sing for all of us. He is a big blessing, and he should be shared with the world!
Eli used to end his show singing this beautiful song. The translation is "I loved Everyone." Very True! It's great to have a cool friend like Eli Moshe that uplifts your spirits and heals the world with his beautiful singing one song at a time..
From Israeli Radio to YouTube, I have been hearing this song. I have probably heard this song over 10 - 20 times the last four days. It is following me everywhere.
I find it so fascinating that the singers and entertainers in Israel have come together to help with the morale of the public. This is one this that is such an awesome amazing thing that they are doing.
This clip is from a contestant on Hakochav Haba La' Erovizion (A Star is Born)

Noa Kirel's represented Israel in 2023 with this song. Here are 2 versions the original and the remastered version after October 7th:
Official Eurovision Video:
Remastered Unicorn song after October 7, 2023:
Israeli music star Noa Kirel was enlisted to reserve duty and recorded a theme song for Israel's special forces along with the IDF Choir:
The song "Out of Depression" was performed in a unique production by the Northern Command Band and singer Yagel Oshri:
The song expresses optimism and hope for better days. The choice to make the video emphasizes the power of culture and music to lift spirits, and their great impact on the morale and unity of our soldiers.
The lyrics in the last chorus emphasize the strength and support of the people of Israel in the security bodies, IDF commanders and soldiers:
"The north winds are blowing all the way to you
In your heart there will always be one melody.
Hear the voice that will enlighten you
The entire nation of Israel stands with you."
Together Always:
(Static & Agam (Lake) Bohbot - Together Always - The Official Video of the IDF (Iron Swords) This song has been repurposed. It started out in 2020 as Katan Aleinu and has morphed into something necessary after October 7, 2023.
