Sometimes the most powerful songs come from the least expected places.

This is exactly what happened to musician Rabbi Itzi Ackerman, who came to play at the Be'er Yitzhak yeshiva and during the intermission heard the boys singing together a text that feels like a personal letter from the Creator.

These simple and touching words captured him deeply, and today they are released to the world as his new single "You Are Special.".

Shimi Zilber wrote the song from a place of daily coping that is familiar to every person. In a world where the evil inclination tries to put down, blame, and create a sense of lack of self-esteem, this song comes to remind us of the simple truth: with all the ups and downs, the Holy One, blessed be He, is proud of us.

""This message of 'I have tens of thousands of angels, like you I only have one' is a message that can strengthen every Jew," says Rabbi Itzi. "The production of the song took nearly six months, during Operation 'Harry's Roar,' with quite a few delays and disappointments along the way. But with the simple belief that everything will be blessed by Him, it's finally out there. A huge thank you to everyone who helped along the way.".
