Crammed into a taxi with the Director of the Nazareth Orchestra, Eli Grunfeld, our crew watched the Israeli landscape slowly change from flat grasslands around Tel Aviv, to the gently rolling hills of Galilee. The drive from Jerusalem was long, but any weariness our commute had imparted on us melted away as we were greeted by the orchestra member's smiling and hopeful faces.
