Album dedication
A Dedication to B'nos Chayil
Songs often linger with us and remind us of special moments. When we think of D'vory and Malky, we remember the songs they loved to sing. They sang for Neshei plays, for friends or anyone in need of some cheer. Now their voices are stilled, leaving us with memories...
And so we dedicate this record to these B'nos Chayil.
