The political party United Torah Judaism has released an official song intended to accompany its supporters through the upcoming election campaign. Titled "Mi La'Hashem Elai" (Who is for God, to me?), the production is described as a monumental and moving piece designed to resonate with the public.
The song aims to capture the current difficult situation faced by the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) public, particularly in light of what the party describes as an unprecedented attack on Torah scholars and their way of life. The lyrics express a struggle for the basic right to live as Haredim, with singers Shmily Ungar and Naftali Kempe, along with the Malchut choir, contributing to the performance.
The track begins with an "authentic, painful, and heart-piercing cry" about the perceived humiliation of Torah and attempts to harm yeshiva students. It then transitions to a message of optimism, pride, and hope, emphasizing the Haredi public's unity and strength in the face of persecution and incitement. The core message is one of resilience and a commitment to preserving their community and way of life, promising victory with divine help.
The party believes the song will significantly boost morale and energy among its supporters. The production credits include strategy by Kofain, musical production, concept, lyrics, and vocal arrangement by Pinchas Bichler, musical arrangement by Chaim Hershtik for the Malchut choir, content consultation by Motty Orlansky, and direction, editing, and color by Hershy Segal. Mix engineering was done by Chaim Moses, with studio work by Michael Weinberger, Eli Klein, and Yossi Glick. Photography was by Yedidya Meir.
