My dear son Ephraim

Back in the 1960s, in the height of the psychedelic era, even the house band of the Israeli army’s infantry division “Nahal” started dabbling in psychedelics. Taking this well known traditional hymn “My dear son Ephraim” (Ha-Ben Yakir Li Ephraim), mixing it with some psychedelic sounds and images as well as some shtetel style, the band created this unique and quite extraordinary clip. Enjoy.
