“I didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier” – recorded by Shirana,  the Arab-Jewish Community Center’s interfaith women’s choir in Jaffa.  The song was originally written and recorded during World War I, which makes it one of the earliest protest songs to be recorded. 100 years later the song’s lyrics continues to resonate. Shirana sings the lyrics in Hebrew, Arabic and English to a new melody by Mike Danny to create a powerful new adaptation. Please click on the link or video below to watch. We hope you enjoy listening!  New Choral Recording
