Singer Rita lit one of the 12 beacons this evening (Wednesday) at the state ceremony in honor of the 74th Independence Day on Mount Herzl, and dedicated it in honor of the music.

"I, Rita, daughter of Sharona and Shmuel Yahan Poros, lift this beacon in honor of music - which is my roots and flowers; that comforts, and embraces, and mediates between peoples and nations. In honor of this wonderful moment, where different and foreign people sing together, "In honor of my father's will: 'To think well. To speak well. To do good.' In honor of all the wonderful people in our country, who dedicate their lives to giving, compassion, hope. In honor of love. .
