Naomi Shemer



Naomi Shemer (Hebrew: נעמי שמר) (July 13, 1930 – June 26, 2004) was one of Israel's most important and prolific song writers, considered by some "the First Lady of Israeli Song". Shemer wrote both words and lyrics to her own songs, composed music to words by others (such as the poet Rachel), and set Hebrew words to internationally known tunes (such as "Hey Jude" by the Beatles); she has probably made more lasting contributions to Israeli song than any other single songwriter.
