NEW VIDEO RELEASED!!
The poem tells the story of the train picking up different passengers (big and small, young and old) on its way to Birobidzhan, where they will help build the Jewish Land in the USSR.
The night accompanies the train with its moon shadows and wonders, and the growth of joy accompanies the shades of light of the sunrise. But it won't be easy! You will hear some people cursing and saying OY! But the train comes with its lights and songs, come and join the train... we also added subtitles!!
