אנקדוטה בקשר לתחרות האירווזיון שנערכה בשנת 1983 במינכן שבגרמניה. אהור מנור ז"ל כתב את השיר חי בו הופיעו המילים עם ישראל חי. הוא הציע את השיר לעפרה חזה והיא השתתפה בקדם האירווזיון שנערך באותה שנה ואף זכתה בו. בגדי ההופעה לתחרות עוצבו על ידי מעצבת האופנה דורין פרנקפורט. דורין בירה להלביש את עופרהבשמלה לבנה ואת מלוויה  בבגדים צהובים  מתוך מטרה  להנציח את הטלאי הצהוב  שענדו היהודים על אדמת גרמניה.
 

An ancedote about the ESC 1983 held in Munich Germany. When the late Ehud Manor heard that the Eurovision 1983 will be in Munich  he decided to write a song  with the words "Am Yisrael Chai"  He came to Ofra Haza and ask her if she would like to sing the song . She said yes. She had participated in the Israeli Kdam-Eurvizyyon and won the Kdam itself. Dorin Franfurt desigened the costumes of Ofra Haza and her singers. Ofra  was wearing  white suit and her singers were wearing yellow clothes. The costumes  resemble the Yellow Badge that the Jewish peiople had to wear  during the Holocaust era in the forties of  the 20th century.
