      Arutz Sheva TV joined musician and singer Amit Travolsi at a unique, very exclusively Israeli, event – a cross between a recruitment party and a celebration in honor of his new album. Amit has put out his second album "The Way of Roots" and he will be joining a combat unit in the IDF very soon.

      In the following video, Amit explains the connection he feels between his accomplishments in the musical-creative field and the next stage of his life, as a soldier in the IDF: "It's all strongly connected – there were thoughts about having four years of non-stop performances come to an end…. But in an interview I was asked, 'Why don't you simply join a military band?' I told them, 'No, I'll go to a combat unit, take a guitar out to the field and bring happiness to all the guys with all the different styles of music.'"
