Contributed by: Howard Shatz. Michtav L’Achi (Letter to My Brother) by Kobi Aflalo and Ely Botner.
A few years ago I stumbled on the Israeli radio station Lev Hamedina, 91 FM (https://www.91fm.co.il/). It plays a wide range of Israeli rock and pop with a good selection of mizrahi music (although I haven’t heard A-WA, at least that I know of). Early on I was floored by a song by Kobi Aflalo and Ely Botner, michtav l’achi, or Letter to My Brother. It’s one of the happiest songs around and the perfect way to head into Shavuot.
The final two lines say it all:
יש חלום שלא נגמר
בסוף הדרך עוד תהיה מאושר
Or:
There is a dream that never ends
At the end of the road you will be happy
