Should your afternoon need some livening up, it’s Israeli singer (and embarrassing Scroll crush) Sarit Hadad’s birthday.

Hadad represented Israel at Eurovision in 2002 (and got robbed), doesn’t perform on Jewish holidays including Shabbat, and sings in French, English, Arabic, Georgian, Circassian, Kavkazi, Bulgarian, Turkish, Greek and Hebrew.

She also plays classical piano, organ, guitar, accordion, and the drum. Enjoy this jam.
