She sings mainly in Hebrew. She was born in Be'er Sheva, in southern Israel. By the end of 2005, she had recorded twelve albums and had been performing for nearly 20 years, and had also produced numerous albums for other musicians.

Her music is influenced by a variety of styles, among them the most distinctive is Spanish-Latin music, which can be attributed to the fact that one side of her family is Sephardic in origin, and Ladino speakers.

Ravitz excels at reinventing her image and music in accordance with current trends, without losing her usual fan base. When she served in the entertainment department of the Israel Defense Force's Battle Engineering Corps, along with fellow musician Korin Alal, renowned singer Arik Einstein discovered their talents and asked them to sing on his upcoming album. Over the years she has performed alongside various Israeli musicians including Gidi Gov, Yoni Rechter, Matti Caspi and Sarit Hadad.

ימים טובים
יהודית רביץ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

מילא, שיהיו ימים כאלה,
יש רעים יותר מאלה,
וזה לא כל כך נורא.
מילא, שיהיו ימים כאלה,
יש טובים יותר מאלה
הם יבואו חזרה.

אף על פי שבינינו מפעם לפעם,

נדמה שאיבדנו כל טעם
ואין לזה סוף.
בכל זאת, מזל שהשמש זורחת,
וטוב שאנחנו ביחד.

מילא, שיהיו ימים כאלה...

אף על פי שלרוב המצב פה מתוח,
ומה כבר לגמרי בטוח,
כשאין לזה סוף.
בכל זאת, בינתיים הדרך נמשכת,
ולנו נשאר עוד ללכת.

אף על פי שהגשר נטוי ורעוע,
הקשר לקוי וגרוע,
יהיה לזה סוף.
בכל זאת כל מה שיכלנו לשמוע
ככל שעלינו גבוה.

מילא, שיהיו ימים כאלה...
