Listen: The True Hope - What Would Our Holy Rebbe Say About the Song of Hope? Following the Persecution Journey Against the Righteous Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov writes that in order to subdue the power of a nation, one must sing its anthem. And it is unthinkable that to subdue the religious decrees of the government in Israel, the elders of Breslov would start singing the national anthem with the lyrics as composed by N.C. Imber, may his name be erased, just as it is unlikely that the elders of Breslov in the time of Rabbi Natan sang the Russian anthem with its Russian lyrics to try to annul the decree of the Cantonists.
So, two options remain to fulfill the words of Rebbe Nachman: to hum the tune of the anthem without words or to invent new words worthy of being sung to the same tune of the anthem. From a halachic perspective, humming is considered as saying in retrospect compared to explicitly saying, which is certainly preferable initially. Therefore, it seems that in order to simply and initially fulfill the great secret that Rebbe Nachman revealed to us, it is appropriate to compose holy words to the tune mistakenly called "The Hope," and it seems that by doing so, the power of the government can be subdued and its evil decrees against the Torah of Israel can be annulled.
With the advice of the great and important members of our community, simple and fundamental words were composed based on the teachings of Rebbe Nachman, and the beloved result is presented to you in a simple and original amateur performance called "The True Song of Hope."
