How a religious pop song CONQUERED the hearts of Israelis
The more they try to kill us, the more we will sing, pray and dance.
If you'd told me four months ago that Israel's most viral hit would be a song repeatedly declaring God's love and mercy, I'd have questioned your grasp of our nation's cultural landscape. Yet here we are, with an unabashedly religious pop song dominating playlists from Herzliya to Haifa.
The song's appeal lies somewhere between paradox and prophecy. Its lyrics could have been lifted straight from a siddur (prayer book) – speaking of divine providence, prayer, and spiritual renewal. The kind of content that typically stays within the boundaries of religious radio stations and yeshiva hallways.
