Background notes
Archive material and source history
Rivka Zohar grew up in Bat Yam, a coastal city where she absorbed traditional Jewish music from both Eastern European and Sephardic sources. She started performing with the folk band Nechalon in the late 1970s before going solo in 1982.
Her 1986 single "Ahavat Hag'varim" became a flashpoint in Israeli society. The song dealt with a romance between a Jewish woman and an Arab man, and its release sparked intense debate about love, tolerance, and national identity. Other songs like "Mah Avarech" and "Haderech El Hakfar" continued her exploration of personal and social themes.
Zohar recorded several albums through the 1980s and 1990s, including Mekholam, Shir Ha'shirim, and Erev Tov. Her work often put her at odds with record labels and religious authorities, partly because of her outspoken views on Israeli politics and Palestinian rights.
