For the first time in Israel - with the participation of cellular phone companies, the clip of a cellular ring tone was donated towards children living in residential group care.
"Yeladim – the Council for the Child in Placement", together with Music Channel 24, thirty six Hip Hop artists, Galia Maor, CEO of Leumi Bank, Yaakov Gelbard, CEO of Pelephone, Amikam Cohen, CEO of Orange Cellular, and Yitzhak Peterburg, CEO of CellCom, have launched a clip of the single recording of "Together" as a donation to the thousands of children in Israel living in residential group care. On Wednesday August 31, 2005 at 11:00 in the morning in the Zaza Studio, 13 Haganim St. Kiryat Shaul.
The unique cooperation between the Music Channel 24 and "Yeladim – the Council for the Child in Placement", gave rise to the song "Together" that Roy Edri, the Hip Hop artist, wrote.
Roy enlisted the help of 36 well known Hip Hop artists in Israel, including Sevli Michael Vahzel, the Tact family, Muki and Filoni, and others. Together they recorded the song with the goal of helping the 10,000 children that live in residential group care throughout Israel.
At "Yeladim – the Council for the Child in Placement" we hope that the single "Together" will help to unite the music lovers within the Israeli public towards the goal of enabling children in residential care to have the opportunity for a better life.

Chorus: It took lots of time,
But we finally got here,
Together
For Roy the way is more important than the goal,
Something real, not some gimmick for a photo,
To come out of love, together.
I knew inside me that the effort was worthwhile, and I didn't stop,
I went on towards the truth.
Every day, every hour, every minute – with a belief in giving, not taking.
All together here we go hand in hand, forever, one for all and all for one.
These children need a warm, loving home, so come,
Instead of opening your pockets, open your heart.
Let's offer them love, say a good word,
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you – that is the mitzvah.
To draw out what there is, yes, and keep on striving forward,
There is always more to give if you look inwards.
One for all and all on stage,
Now the camera is closing in and changes are in full swing,
Together we will take everything to its end, and any ending is possible
We won't stop creating, we will leave the reaping for later, so we can take - everything
We won't be just satisfied with what is available, though that is good as it is.
We were always cell 6, together until we meet again.
Chorus
Only together – we are all God's children
We want satisfaction, to get out of life's difficulties
Without cutting off ties, hardship, just with a hug, love
For you – because I am you.
My brother, say this portion fast because we don't have time, it's urgent,
A musician's mission is not war, but crowded speech
A good spirit calls me, come let's lend a hand to an Israeli child.
Now is the time to go quickly out of the darkness into the light
Listen to me, this is important, look, stop.
We must go on, nothing will break us
Don't despair, we are here to help
So it looks like we are really all together,
The Middle East rappers say "come, come, come, come!!!"
Chorus
Some people have it hard, and it's cold on the street,
Let's use Hip Hop to do good.
I ran, fell, got up, and continued. I did not despair.
I fulfilled the dream.
I got strength. Why waste yourself? Why run away?
You yourself can stretch your limits.
Like the biography of DAM, like the demography of my people here.
There are troubled children who are hungry,
So I feed them with a song full of love, hope and pride.
With whispers to Allah, to my God and to Jesus,
Through one messenger, called ONE MIC
This is a way-station, or we have already arrived,
This is like a war, but it is not ours
And we did not take more than we could,
But who will change the world if we don't.
Chorus
Today's children are the children of tomorrow
You, man, also, try and fix everything before it's too late.
It's so moving, it warms like a fire
We will make sure that we are together, child, don't despair
There are some who have many dreams when they sleep,
and some who stay awake and fulfill them.
Don't think about it, life is short,
Two deeds are better than a hundred thousand words.
Zigi, Zigi, zam. Berly, Berly bam
One plus one and we will change the world.
The scorpion is not a driven leaf, I am a spiritual leader,
I did not choose to present, but I am proud to present myself,
They call this nowadays a scene, lower your head and mind your grammar,
Don't breathe in order to spray big words into the landscape.
Don't stop, my brothers, always keep going forward.
Keep on striving upwards, wow – (Ya alah)
So listen children, because if you are violent,
we will throw you to the bears in the forest.
Chorus
It took lots of time,
But we finally got here,
Together
