During a powerful performance, singer Chanan Ben Ari shared a moving encounter with IDF soldiers recently freed from captivity, revealing that they had kept a notebook in which they rewrote lyrics to famous songs to lift their spirits.
Among them was Ben Ari’s own hit ‘Our Life is Strawberries’, which they adapted to reflect their harrowing reality—turning its joyful refrain into a poignant reminder: ‘You’re not in captivity, so don’t pity yourself, because our lives are strawberries!’
