Medical workers, entertainers light torches at Independence Day ceremony

After Gantz, Israeli musician Idan Raichel lights the next torch for independence day.

“I light this torch in honor of the Israeli musical giants of the past, and the wonderful artists of our days,” he says.

Raichel is followed by Professor Galia Rahav, the head of the infectious disease department at Sheba Medical Center, one of numerous medical workers lighting a torch this year in honor of their contributions amid the coronavirus pandemic.
