Dedication


Gil Argavani, 17-year-old Israeli grandson of our theatre critic Carol Davis, anticipated the impending death of his grandfather, Avraham, on June 22 in Israel, and wrote and sang this song, "Far Away" to memorialize him.

We dedicate this issue of San Diego Jewish World in memory of Avraham Argavani. To hear Gil perform the song, click here. There is a pause and a hum before it begins.


Far Away

There's a gap between the stars,
There the moon cries in the dark.
Until the sun rises up from the sea,
And the moon stares at it happily.
But when the moonlight fades away,
Time to move on
Far away...

There's a space behind the clouds,
Where the sun shins for long hours.
Alone in the sky till the end of the day,
Screaming "there must be an easier way",
As the sun sets painfully.
It's time to move on,
Far away...
