Shavua tov and chodesh tov to all!
In honor of Rosh Chodesh Adar II, we interrupt this blog to bring you yet another one of our family’s favorite obscure songs from the late 1970’s/early 1980’s.
“Shoshi B’Agaf Sheva” (“שושי באגף שבע” – literally, “Shoshi in Ward 7”) was the name of an album recorded inside a Be’er Sheva prison by a group of inmates, including soloist David Shoshi (hence the album’s name).
“Fasuliah” (literally, “beans” or “bean stew” in Arabic) comes from that album:
Lyrics by Dudu Alharar; music by Chanan Yuval.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled Our Shiputzim fare of lizards, Chodesh Irgun, citrus fruit, and Heblish*…
!שבוע טוב וחודש טוב

*And speaking of Heblish, watch this space for a special Purim edition…
All the other songs about bean stew can't hold a candle to this one. ( :
