Singer Sinai Tor Revives 'Mimkomcha' in Memory of Yedidya Eliyahu

Israeli singer Sinai Tor has released a new version of the song "Mimkomcha (Cry)," in memory of Yedidya Eliyahu, who was killed in action. The song is based on the words of the Shabbat prayer set to music by Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, with musical arrangement and production by Tzlil Tor and project management by Ariel Eliyahu. The Eliyahu family shared that the song represents a heartfelt prayer for redemption, born from pain, longing, and a plea for the divine presence and the salvation of the people of Israel.

The family recounted that the song was performed at Yedidya and Meitar's wedding just before the breaking of the glass, symbolizing a call to heaven to hasten the coming of God’s kingdom in Jerusalem. They emphasized that Yedidya lived his life with faith, confidence, and constant hope for redemption. Even when he went to war, he did so with the belief that "everything is part of the path to redemption," and that "there is no pain without purpose, no unnecessary suffering."
