Israeli singer Shuli Rand appeared on his daughter Odelia Rand's TikTok account on Friday, discussing the difficult week following the October 7th attacks and the concept of divine concealment. "After October 7th, difficult memories, very difficult questions, and truly regarding faith... you know, after October 7th, I came to comfort people, and they thought because I have a beard, that I am God's representative, that I have answers for where the Holy One, Blessed be He, was, and I had no answer," Rand stated. He admitted he believed no one had answers, referencing a verse from Deuteronomy, "And I will surely hide My face on that day." Rand explained that October 7th involved "concealment of the face," where God allowed the events to occur. His daughter asked why, to which Rand responded by differentiating between two types of concealment: "concealment of the face," where a person knows God is with them but in a hidden state, and "concealment within concealment," a deeper state where a person is unaware of their difficult situation or that a higher power is watching over them. The two then began singing a song about this theme.
