My goal on Impacting Israel is to expose you -- my listeners -- to influential voices impacting Israel in so many different ways. You see, when I'm leading my delegations, I find that the most valuable element for me are the friendships I develop with incredible people. So, I started asking myself, how can I share these voices with others? Maybe I had never heard of these incredible individuals because they usually write or speak in Hebrew. But why not find a platform to introduce other English speakers to these leaders from across the spectrum of Israeli society who are really making an impact.

(22) Daddy, is that a siren? No, sweetie, it's just a cat with a runny nose.
<p class="s4"><span class="s2">A Cat</span> <span class= "s2">With</span> <span class="s2">a Runny Nose</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Lyrics & Music: Omer Herman</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">Dad, tell me, is there a siren? You ask again.</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class= "s3">It's nothing, sweetheart — just a cat with a runny nose at the window.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">And Dad, if there is one, will we go down to the shelter?</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">We'll all go down together,</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">And we'll take a bag of snacks with us.</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">And we'll probably meet the</span> <span class="s3">neighbors</span> <span class="s3">again —</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Boaz and Alma —</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">And they have lots of toys.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">And you don't need to worry, remember?</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">The Iron Dome protects us too,</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">And all the children.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">Dad, maybe you'll tell me some stories again?</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class= "s3">I'm a little scared because yesterday</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">I heard some explosions too.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">That's true — but remember, it's a little like fireworks.</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">You just have to be careful of the pieces when they fall.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">And don't forget that up in the sky</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">There are pilots</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class= "s3">Watching over us.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">It's true that right now it's a little scary.</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class= "s3">Everything is strange and not normal.</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">At the end of the day it's always hard to fall asleep again.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">And honestly, there's no real logic to any of this —</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class= "s3">But I'm not going anywhere.</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Because Dad is watching over you</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">All night long.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">So</span> <span class="s3">let's close our eyes and laugh.</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">We can imagine something —</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Something you love most, like a game,</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Or a toy,</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Or maybe we'll just read</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">A short story that once happened.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">Maybe the story about</span> <span class="s5">Ayelet Traveling</span><span class= "s3">,</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Or we can invent a new story</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">About a cat with a runny nose.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">Dad,</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Tell me, were you a soldier too?</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">I was — in the tanks, actually.</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">But that was quite a long time ago.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">Tell me, aren't you afraid at all?</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">I think maybe you got a little scared.</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Stay with me a bit longer and we'll talk.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">Here,</span> <span class= "s3">take</span> <span class="s3">the doll.</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Yesterday when I was a little scared</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">She helped me calm down very quickly.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">Now I'm really very tired</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">From all the shouting,</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class= "s3">And I don't have the strength</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">To go down again</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Four flights of stairs.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">I'm tired of being afraid of the sirens,</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Even though you always say it's nothing.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">I understand everything</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">And I'm trying to be strong now.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">Because Dad is here</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">Watching over me</span><span class="s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">All night long.</span></p> <p class="s4"><span class="s3">So</span> <span class="s3">let's close our eyes and laugh.</span><span class= "s3"><br /></span><span class="s3">We can imagine something —</span><span class="s3"><br
