About This Song
About "Ikh Shtey Unter A Bokserboym - I Stand Beneath a Carob Tree" by Chava Alberstein
Chava Alberstein stands beneath the carob tree of 'Ikh Shtey Unter A Bokserboym' as if waiting for shade that never comes. Her voice is close and unadorned, the melody winding like roots, and the song’s quiet tension lies between rootedness and the urge to walk away.
