Batzal Yarok

Batzal Yarok (Hebrew: בצל ירוק; (lit. Green Onion) was an Israeli musical theatre and entertainment troupe founded in 1957 by ex-members of the IDF military ensemble Lehakat HaNahal.

The troupe was among the best-known entertainment groups in Israel during the late 1950s and early 1960s. One of its founding members was Uri Zohar. Naomi Shemer wrote the texts for Batzal Yarok's first performance in 1957, and her song Zamar Noded ("Wandering Troubadour") was also written for the troupe. Chaim Topol performed with the group from 1960 to 1964. Ephraim Kishon wrote several satirical sketches for Batzal Yarok, and among the composers who wrote songs for the group was Sasha Argov.
