This year my beloved city, Malmö, was the annual host of the Eurovision song contest.
The municipality was looking for volunteers to take part in this extraordinary experience. I was lucky enough to be one of the many volunteers who has been chosen for this project.Along with two more woman I helped host the Israeli delegation and leading singer, Moran Mazor with the song "Rak Bishvilo" (only for him)I was lucky to be backstage with them, meeting interesting people from all over the world, seeing how the magic is born and making some unforgettable memories.I offered to take photos of the delegation (backstage photos) for my photography course, and they agreed. Here are a few of the many photos that for me, summarize the experience.

Same day, back home to Malmö, meeting with the jewish community members and the amazing Bnei Akiva youth.

Police escort was always around |
The stylist room at the hotel was probably the busiest - people coming and going, asking for his opinion and approval for theirs outfits.
The first rehearsal
The next rehearsal Gilli, the stylist, had a minor nerves breakdown because of the dress. He wasn't pleased from the dress appearance in the monitor. He asked me to help and fined a seamstress and I recommended on my best friend, Dilek.
