The song ends with the contribution of the president of Israel, who recites the refrain that closes the song.The text is a love song for Israel (this is home, this is heart, and I’m not leaving you) as the first line of the refrain goes. The song opens with a number: שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה (seventy years), referring to the age of the state of Israel, but emphasizes the historical connection to the land with many references to the bible and other Hebrew texts.The title of the song itself references a well-known verse from the bible: שֶׁבֶת אַחִים גַּם יָחַד (brethren to dwell together in unity) [Book of Psalms chapter 133 verse 1].Each singer took a selfie video in a place with special personal meaning. Together they created a collage of more than 30 places around Israel.The song’s success was immediate. It became very popular in schools and even among kindergarten kids. house בית heart לב roots שורשים flowers פרחים tunes מנגינות tribe שבט brothers אחים sisters אחיות An English version of the song was produced by Birthright Israel.
