Lavi (Hebrew: לָבִיא, lit. Lion) is a kibbutz in the Lower Galilee area of Israel. It is a member of the Religious Kibbutz Movement.
Located 310 meters above sea level and 10 minutes from Tiberias, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lower Galilee Regional Council.
The kibbutz was founded in 1949 by the British branch of Bnei Akiva, a religious youth organization —part of them were amongst the 10,000 Jewish children of the refugees whom were brought to the United Kingdom from Germany as part of the Kindertransports of 1930s. It was the only kibbutz where the children lived at home as opposed to a children's quarters where the children of other kibbutzim were housed, fed and put to bed .
The kibbutz was founded on land of the Arab village of Lubya, depopulated during 1948 by the Hagana forces. The source of the name "Lavi" and "Lubia" is from the ancient Lavi village which existed in the days of the Mishnah and Talmud, in which there was an inn called "Lavi", on the way from Tiberias to Tzippori.
Daliah Lavi (born Daliah Lewinbukh; October 12, 1942) is an Israeli actress, singer and model.
Lavi was born in Shavei Zion, British Mandate of Palestine, to Jewish parents from Germany and Russia. She studied ballet in Stockholm, Sweden, where she appeared in her first film Hemsöborna (1955). Returning to Israel, her career took off in 1960, when she started appearing in a large number of European and American productions. Fluent in several languages, she has also been in German-, French-, Italian-, Spanish- and English-language films.
Lavi's film appearances include Vincente Minnelli's Two Weeks in Another Town (1962), Mario Bava's gothic classic La Frusta e il corpo, aka The Whip and the Body (1963), the role of The Girl in Lord Jim and the first Matt Helm film, The Silencers (1966), opposite Dean Martin. However, her most famous role is probably as 'The Detainer/007' in Casino Royale (1967).
With the decline of her film career, Lavi began a successful schlager singing career in Germany, with hits such as "Oh, wann kommst du?", "Willst du mit mir gehn?" and "C'est ça, la vie (So ist das Leben)". She recorded a German-language cover of Melanie Safka's Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma.
Meine Art Liebe zu zeigen
das ist ganz einfach Schweigen.
Worte zerstören
wo sie nicht hingehören.
Sieh den Tag am Himmel stehn
noch nicht müde
muß er gehn.
Doch die Nacht
die Anlauf nimmt
tröstet ihn bestimmt.
Nimm den Schatten von der Wand
schweig mir leise aus der hand
laß die Zeiger stille stehn
und du wirst schon sehn.
Schwöre keinen lauten Schwur
stell mir keine Fragen
träum die Sternenpartitur
ohne was zu sagen.
Halt mich fest
doch halt mich nicht.
Schreib mir alles ins Gesicht.
Laß den Tag vorübergehn
und du wirst schon sehn.
Spürst du
wie die Zeit entflieht
wie die Sehnsucht Kreise zieht?
Lösch noch ein paar Lichter aus
über unserm Haus.
Schließ mich in die Stille ein
laß mich einfach bei dir sein
und das Rad der Nacht sich drehn
dann wirst du schon sehn.
h gratulieren kann!
Ich sang Hey
hey
hey
