‘Toy’ homage by people with special needs seeks to raise awareness for integration
Ahead of this evening’s Eurovision festivities, Chimes Israel showcases a special version of Netta Barzilai’s hit “Toy” with dozens of Israelis with special needs.
Participants aged 10-70 sing along with the song in a bid to raise awareness for stronger integration with the community.
The organization says the clip is “inspired by the social message of the song that talks about accepting the different and the other” and hopes to “empower those people, to inspire artistic endeavor and to call for the right of people with disabilities, to participate equally and actively in the community — in all spheres of life.”
