How much we missed the hymns of encouragement: With the end of this year's summer vacation, which was unlike any other, Benny Friedman releases a new and sweeping hit: "Visible Miracles.".

At the end of a difficult, challenging year filled with pain and, on the other hand, miracles, Benny Friedman releases a new song that expresses everything we need at this time.

The lyrics to the anthem were written by Eli Klein and Itzi Berry, who also arranged and produced it, and the lyrics were written sometime during the first month of the war. Their expectation was, apparently, that by the time the song was released, the war would be over, a hope that was not quite fulfilled.

My son, who came to Israel several times to make the fighters and wounded happy, was looking for words and music with an encouraging vibe that could lift the mood in the Land of Israel, and also among the millions of Jews who are worried abroad.

During one of his visits to Israel, while he was recording the song in the studio, the major attack from Iran occurred. Friedman felt what many Israelis, his brothers in fate, feel, stopped the recordings and went down to the shelter.

""I wasn't afraid of the missiles, I was in the battalion like the rest of my Israeli brothers, but in the morning, only after I saw videos of the attack, did I realize how close it was...""

My son remembers his tweet on Twitter, nine days after the Simchat Torah massacre: "The People of Israel and the whole world are about to witness tremendous miracles!",

And in Hebrew: "The people of Israel and the entire world are about to witness tremendous miracles!".

""That's how this song actually started. Ever since then, I've been looking for a song that would faithfully express the great miracles that have happened and will happen to the people of Israel. The duo Eli Klein and Itzi Berry managed to write in one day the song I was looking for all along, a song about great miracles.".

Lyrics, composition, arrangement and musical production: Eli Klein & Itzi Berry | Production: Yonatan Yechiel
