Singer and pianist Rami Kleinstein, wearing a sweatshirt affiliated with the Tribe of Nova desert rave group, performs at the 24-hour Tel Aviv rally, and says he’s been performing his own form of reserve duty by playing music for the injured and the mourners and the soldiers.
“Everything we’re doing is important to hold the families and the fighters who are giving their lives, to strengthen the injured, to hear all the stories,” says Kleinstein. “But until I get to perform in front of the released hostages, who have not been with us for 100 days, my heart is broken.
“I’m an optimistic person at my core and I believe it will happen, but I want it to happen now. I want to sing for them, in person.”
Kleinstein performs his song “Right Now” with his daughter, Meshi Kleinstein.
