For some reason this country always goes crazy over the Eurovision competition.  We’ve won a few times, come close some other times. and bombed a few times.  For some reason we love the camp.

But this year is different – the singer, Yuval Raphael, was a captive in Gaza and sings of hope for the future in the song, “New Day Will Rise.”  I don’t know how she can possibly win, because all Europe is against Israel, but I’m staying awake to see what they decided.

She was so winning, so honest, and so full of promise – she won my heart.
