The song spread on social media that talk about the rain and the purchase of a warm winter coat, on social networking sites. An Israeli Channel hosted Amror, who sang her song, what made the TV anchor interacting with the song and its simple rhythm.

The teacher added that she seeks, since she started teaching Hebrew for children 17 years ago, to discover new ways in children's learning.
 
Little more than a week after a crudely made video filmed by one of her young students was uploaded to YouTube, the Hebrew teacher of 17 years has become something of a social media sensation.

Her tune "Geshem Geshem Mitaftef"(translated as “rain, rain, dripping”), which repeats itself allowing the children to sing along, is now the third most popular clip in Israel on the video sharing site. It has nearly a million views.
