Liron Daniel participates in annual International Women’s Day celebration

Liron Daniel, Youngstown Area Jewish Federation Israel Engagement/Program Coordinator, participated in the YWCA Mahoning Valley’s annual International Women’s Day celebration, held this year at Penguin City Brewing Company.

Daniel, originally from Israel, performed the song “Chaya Li MiYom LeYom,” which can be translated into English as “Live My Life Day by Day.”

The song speaks about the struggles women sometimes face with themselves and with the search for love. It reminds listeners that every woman deserves to be loved, appreciated, and to feel that someone truly sees her.

The song was originally performed by Rita Kleinstein, a Jewish singer born in Iran. In recent years, the song has also become a symbol of hope and strength for Iranian women in their fight for freedom and rights against the regime in Iran.

“For me,” Daniel said. “it was a great honor to sing it at an event dedicated to celebrating and empowering women.”

International Women’s Day showcases the dancing, music, dress, and food of cultures represented in the Mahoning Valley. The event follows the international theme of Give to Gain.
