Rabbi Yigal Cohen and Singer Idan Raichel Release New Song 'Be in Joy'

Rabbi Yigal Cohen is set to release a new song titled "Be in Joy" in collaboration with singer Idan Raichel. The song, scheduled for release this coming week, was written in response to recent events in Israel and was co-written by creators Avi Ohayon and Ron Beaton, along with the Rabbi himself. The lyrics include the line, "Don't try to go against life, there are things we won't understand, won't know."

This is not the first collaboration between Rabbi Cohen and Raichel; they previously released the song "Come Meet Father, Child" in 2020. That song, which focused on faith and closeness to God, garnered over a million views on YouTube and aimed to strengthen listeners and bring a sense of security in the Creator.

The article notes that collaborations between rabbis and artists in music are not uncommon. It highlights a recent instance where Rabbi Shlomo Yehuda Barry, known as "The Yanuka," participated in a song with singer Aviad. In that song, "The Yanuka" delivered a message of faith and hope, stating, "We need to know that the great God in heaven is all-powerful, ruling over all of creation."
