“Acheinu was Bus B 2017’s nightly song!” – Ben Miller, Mizrach

“D’ror Yikra is so underrated! Not enough people know it, so not enough people can love it!” – Pnina Sasson, HaNegev

“I love the English part of Erev Shel Shoshanim – and my name is Shoshana and this is my song.” – Shoshana Scheinberg, Hagalil Alumni
