In it, he states (roughly translated), “A generation of thirsty souls / Reverence for God without labels / Not making public statements / Torah study and then lights / Modesty is 6 from within / That’s what the girls say / Skirt one day a week / Trying to make an effort.” Judaism for many teens in Israel today means having your cake and eating it too. This over-the- top anthem, celebrating HaShem’s unconditional love, was written by ElaytZur, who held a career as a teenager in Israel’s hip-hop scene before becoming a Breslov Hasid, in collaboration with his 73-year-old rabbi, Shalom Arush, at Arush’s request. Its lyrics—roughly translated—state, “And things will get even better for me / Even better, Even better, Even better, Even better, Even better / And I’ll always have only good.” The repetition in the chorus is like a mantra, the kind you might find in any Breslov-inspired music, reflecting the gam zu l’tova (this too is for the good) philosophy. In the video, Shaulov in a white kippah prays at the Wailing Wall and performs kippah-less in a giant multiple-location party with Breslov Hasidim dancing on vans, elderly ladies in wheelchairs, female soldiers with guns, a raven-haired alternative chick with a lip piercing, a kid with a kippah and long side-curls, Ethiopians, religious folks, a girl in a Tupac T-shirt, beer-clutching dudes, and an assortment of average run-of-the- mill Israelis, all going crazy and dancing in an ecstatic frenzy as if each had personally won the lottery that very morning, though in reality the song was released while war was raging and multiple hostages were still in captivity. In addition to the gut- wrenchi
