Notes Songs of Israel/Hit Songs of Israel/Effie Netzer

Effie Netzer, like a number of his peers, got his musical training while serving in the Israeli armed forces. He became a popular singer, composer and accordionist in the services and continued his career after his tour of duty. One of his accomplishments was the organization of the Rothschild Center Singers on Mount Carmen in Haifa. This is a youth group that sings because the group enjoys to sing.
