Singer David D’ Or Paints and Sings for
ALEH
03
Singer and artist David D’ Or has turned his talents towards ALEH. Famous in Israel as a singer, D’ Or recently took up painting, and is quickly gaining a reputation in that field as well. At the beginning of August, D’ or invited children from ALEH Jerusalem to his studio in Tel Aviv, to paint together with him. In this video, you can see the very moving event and D’ Or’ s interaction with the children. In the film, Shlomit Grayevsky, Director General of ALEH Jerusalem, says:“ This is one of ALEH’ s many projects that express the ability and the right of every child here to be significant, to be creative, to be an equal part of society.” D’ Or states:“ Our world will be much better, much more correct, much more whole, if we learn not to exclude them. On the contrary, let’ s integrate, make them part of our society because, as there are many colors and many shades, and there are endless thoughts and possibilities, so there are endless types of people and, in my opinion, this is a wonderful thing.” The collective painting was displayed at a dinner at the Carlton Hotel in Tel Aviv in early September, held to honor Major General Doron Almog’ s Israel Prize. D’ Or adapted his beautiful song“ Don’ t be Afraid to Fly” to be the theme song for the evening, and performed it at the dinner. We thank him from the heart for all he has done for our children.
