	Story Behind the Song The band are associated with Beit Ham in Jerusalem. Located in a converted bomb shelter in the city center of Jerusalem, Beit Ham offers a free music intervention program to teenagers and is now in its 10th year. Over 60 youth adolescent boys and girls meet in small groups for weekly practice sessions, accompanied by youth workers and music educators. The bomb shelter is divided into two sections: The club room has games and a ping pong table for the youth - rather than spend time hanging out on the streets. The studio has musical instruments, amplifiers and a PA for bands to rehearse in the various styles - blues, rock, jazz, punk Latin and Oriental (local pop music). In addition to band practices, coached by music educators, a few of the teens receive private lessons. Weekly "jam sessions" and percussion workshops are open to new participants. The organization holds concerts for the band to perform and Beit Ham groups have performed in France and Switzerland.
