One Little Goat

Chad Gadya:  As sung by Yehoram Gaon, in beautiful, clear Ladino, with views of old time Jewish life in Morocco.  Yehoram Gaon is one of the major proponents of Israeli culture and entertainment, and Israel's all time most popular singer.


In the early 1960's, Gaon studied acting under the famous Utta Hagen at the Herbert Berghof Studio in New York, and graduated with honors from the RCA Institute for TV Production. He returned to Israel to play the starring role in the musical Kazablan, which became an immediate hit. After more than 600 performances, Gaon also starred in the movie version of the musical, which became one of the classics of the Israeli movie industry.

In 2004, Yehoram Gaon was awarded the prestigious Israel Prize for his contribution to Culture and Hebrew Song.  You can learn more about Yehoram Gaon here.
