'FIND NO ENEMY'
OUT NOW!
'Just Like The Waves' is the second release from the latest EP written, composed, and produced by Elinor Sitrish & producer Adam Chavez.
'Just Like The Waves' is the perfect pop tune for the end of winter and the beginning of spring...:)
It talks about the search for that one special love we’re all hoping to find during our lifetime, and about the ups and downs, we are facing during that search. It seems like no matter how many times we try and fail, how many times we love and break, and how many storms we face, we eventually pull ourselves back together, and with a scarred heart, we keep on searching for that love, because at the end of the day, love is fundamental to our existence, and we all wish to arrive to our safe shore, just like the waves...
The song has been released on March 24, 2023, and is now available on all streaming platforms. Enjoy!

ELINOR SITRISH - 1ST CHILDREN'S BOOK RELEASE
WELCOME HOME, MUFFIN!
August 26, 2021 - Happy International dog day.
"My precious Lady came into my life a few years ago when I met my dear husband. She was a dirty neglected puppy when she was first found on the streets, from there moved to a shelter, then to a home that had to give her away at some point due to personal reasons… Luckily, my husband was in the right place at the right time and decided he will take care of her and provide her a good, happy, and stable home for good! Since then, she has been nothing but a huge blessing to us both! A year after I met my husband, we decided to get Lady a friend, and then came Charlie…! and the love and joy we’ve received from Lady just doubled! Words cannot express our love and gratitude for these two little Patzos! They have completely changed our lives and expanded our hearts Now, here is a cool connection:
I decided to write my first children’s book a few years back (before I met my husband) and there was born “Welcome home Muffin”!
A book about compassion, love, and friendship. It took me some time to finish the execution part …but I finally did it!
🥁🥁🥁I’m happy to announce that my first children's book is out and available on Amazon! I hope my book will inspire you and your loved ones to adopt and to give a new chance in life to someone else! Remember, there’s always something good we can do for others and the reward is something that money cannot buy, and words cannot explain! Always chose to be the light."
Much love, Elinor ♥️

"Imagine" was written and composed by the legendary musician John Lennon in 1971 yet is still so relevant nowadays.
Let’s awake as many hearts as possible and do our best to create a better world by teaching and learning
unity, peace, love, and kindness, and by celebrating life every day!
MAY WE ALL LIVE AS ONE!
Elinor.
IMAGINE...
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Written & composed by: John Winston Lennon

SUNSET CONCERTS AT THE
SKIRBALL CULTURAL CENTER
Thursday, August 20, 8:00 p.m.
Performing the concert program “My Heart Is in the East: Mystical Music and Dance of the Hebrew Tribes,” Israeli Angeleno Yuval Ron and an ensemble featuring Moroccan-Israeli vocalist Elinor Sitrish and sacred dance artist Mayaya take the stage with their intensely moving and adventurous pan–Middle Eastern music.
Formed in 1999, the Yuval Ron Ensemble includes Jewish and Christian artists who strive to create musical bridges between people of diverse faiths and ethnic backgrounds. As they pay homage to diverse Jewish cultures of Morocco, Yemen, Iraq, and Israel—from euphoric Kabbalistic Hebrew dances to fiery Sephardic-Andalusi songs—the ensemble creates a synthesis of styles that is both deeply traditional and boldly innovative.

The Hollywood Bowl celebrates its 48th year of presenting SummerSounds, one of the most popular children's festivals in Southern California!
"I'm so honored to be taking a part in this beautiful and so important series!
In times like this of enormous chaos around the world and endless battles over lands, cultures, and religions, it is very important to educate our younger (and older) generation and to plant seeds of love, peace, friendship, and equality.
As the guardians of this planet, we are obligated to do so!
And I cannot think of a better and more effective way to show someone a light than by speaking in the language of the world, the language of colors and sounds!
I believe that we all artists are messengers in a way. We have the power to kindly bring people closer or, on the other hand, to break them apart... and so we all should use our gifts wisely.
As humans, we all have a way to speak to others' hearts.
I truly feel blessed for the gifts I've been given and for being able to lead a way to a change through the sounds.
Find your way and set an example.
Do it with much kindness and love.
After all, we have only ONE home - Planet Earth, we are all ONE, and life is too short and beautiful to live on a battlefield.
Peace, Love & Harmony :)
Elinor"
