The song "Prayer of the Mothers", was born as a result of an alliance made between singer-songwriter Yael Deckelbaum, and a group of courageous women, leading the movement of “Women Wage Peace”.
The movement arose on summer 2014 during the escalation of violence between Israel and the Palestinians, and the military operation “Tzuk Eitan”.
On October 4, 2016, Jewish and Arab women began with the joint "March of Hope" project.
Thousands of women marched from the north of Israel to Jerusalem in a call for peace. A call that reached it’s peak on October 19th, in a march of at least 4,000 women half of them Palestinian, and Half Israeli, in Qasr el Yahud (on the northern Dead Sea).
The very same evening 15,000 women protested in front of the priministors house in Jerusalem.
In mezzo al caos e alla discordia del nuovo conflitto israelo-palestinese, si riscopre la speranza attraverso la potente canzone Prayer of the Mothers, interpretata dall’artista israeliana Yael Deckelbaum nel 2016. Questo brano ha nel tempo assunto un significato particolare all’interno del contesto complesso e disperato del Medio Oriente.

Questo brano, perciò, rappresenta le madri provenienti da entrambi i lati del conflitto, unite dal comune desiderio di pace e riconciliazione.
Prayer of the Mothers cattura l’essenza di un desiderio condiviso, quello di vedere... (Continues)

Music & Lyrics by Yael Deckelbaum
This song was inspired by a prophecy from the book of Isaiah, about a time of unity when all wars will end, and the world will live in peace
I have seen this awakening with my own two eyes while marching with women around the world, and I believe in it.
I can see this happening when we restore our connections to our own hearts and bodies.
Supporting each other in our way to self healing.
Remembering our connection to an ancient voice of wisdom, to the beating drum of our ancestral mothers and fathers, in the times before the story of separation took over, long before the Bible was ever written,
Long before the world was ruled by man.
When women and men had a respectful and loving relationship with our Mother Earth and with each other.
We each hold a key and I believe it starts with remembering
self love.
Thank you Joss... (Continues)
