The Emotional Soundtrack of Israel

Two Years in 20 Songs — A Story of Heartbreak, Hope, and the Power of Music

Feel what Israelis felt — and still feel — through the music that healed us.

When I moved to Israel in August 2023 — just weeks before October 7 — I never imagined how deeply this country’s music would shape my new life.

As Israel faced its darkest days, music became our therapy — our cry, our comfort, our courage.
Each song carried a story… and I felt compelled to share them.

🎶 This is Israel’s story — told through 20 unforgettable songs that brought a nation from heartbreak to hope.

🎤 From Broadcaster to New Immigrant

I’ve spent years sharing Israeli music with English speakers.
But after making Aliyah, I lived these songs in real time — in bomb shelters, in concerts, in moments of mourning and unity.

Every note became personal.
This book is my attempt to help you feel what Israelis felt, and still feel, through the music that healed us.

❤️ Why Readers Love It

"Knowing Josh, hearing his voice for years, as I started to read, I had the shivers as I could hear Josh’s voice and feel his soul.  Josh's words on every page are raw, yet tender, embracing the scope of the hellish pain, yet also tempered with hope and resilience.  So much thought was put into this, as every page had new insights, new vocabulary.  The tears and feeling of pain through the songs are so cathartic as we all continue to process our relationship to Israel and to Israelis in the aftermath of October 7.  This ebook is an expression of an incredible amount of work and love."
