A series of 8 meetings in Russian.
The first “Good Old Eretz Israel” album, followed by five additional albums by the same name, was released by Arik Einstein in 1973. Now in 2025, Zeev Volk and Zhenya Treiberman explore what songs characterize each decade in Israel’s history in their new project: 49 songs that reflect their era, with seven songs per decade.
The project will immerse you in history, introduce you to the intricacies of Israeli language, culture, and musical tastes, and of course, help you expand your playlists. Each lecture is a musical album, a history lesson, and linguistic discoveries.
