If Ofra was still with us – she would have celebrated her 54th birthday today

Ofra was born on November 19th, 1957, but in 1987, after a plane crash, she celebrated two birthdays every year: the actual birthday, and another birthday on February, to celebrate the fact that God gave her her life back.

Ofra’s birthday was mentioned today on Izik Yosha’s radio show. Izik is a reporter in Israel’s greatest daily newspaper and was a huge Ofra Haza fan. He joined Ofra and Bezalel on a tour in Europe and reported about it in the newspaper. Yesterday, he played some of Ofra’s songs, mostly from Kirya, which is his favorite album of hers. Izik was the only one who mentioned Ofra today.
