"A particularly moving photography, we are in line at the recruiting office in the late 50s, among us also standing in the center of the photo is Esther Ofarim, who would later become the soundtrack of those times. Esther finished her apprenticeship and flew to her professional path (how did we earn it...) At night in the big hut where we all slept, she sang to us "The Red Rock" ("HaSela HaAdom") - a song that was forbidden to be played at the time because it contained a kind of invitation to travel in Jordan, which was an enemy country."

Info about this song, taken from wikipedia:
""HaSela haAdom" (Hebrew: הסלע האדום, lit. 'The Red Rock') is an Israeli song written by Haim Hefer, with music by Yochanan Zarai, recorded by Arik Lavie in 1958. The song tells the story of a young Israeli soldier who illegally crossed the Israeli-Jordanian border to visit Petra, and ends with the death of its hero. Hefer was inspired by a popular tradition of Israeli youth of hiking to Petra, many of them killed by Jordanian soldiers. The song became so popular among the youth that the government banned it for many years. Hefer's song was familiar to all Israelis, and many authors incorporate it into their books and songs."
