    Teach your Children is a song that has always moved me with its special message.  The V’ahavta echoes inside my head as I hear the music play and the words reach out, sharing the message: we are in this together, to share our wisdom and make meaning of our life journey.

    This is the Playing for Change Band onstage in Tel Aviv with the timeless song of Crosby Stills and Nash.
