The chassidic singers Yoeli Klein and Shaya Gross revealed in an interview on the radio station “Kol Chai” where the words for their huge hit came from — “And Even in Concealment.”

Yoeli Klein recounts: “In short, Shaya (Gross, his partner in the creation) finishes the song ‘And Even in Concealment’..., and the song stops there — so what do we do now?”

“We have a friend named Yechezkel Glick, a good friend shared by both of us. He told us he had seen the words: ‘Even behind the hard things you are going through, I am standing,’ he saw it in some leaflet.”

Shaya jumps into the conversation and asks: A leaflet of whom?

Yoeli Klein responds with a question: Of the Berland Rebbetzin (Rebbetzin Tehila Berland shlit"a)? Really?

Shaya answers: “Yes!”

Yoeli: “To this day he (Yechezkel Glick) never told me.”

Shaya: “Yes! A leaflet of the Berland Rebbetzin! The words are from the leaflet of the Rebbetzin of Rav Berland!”

Yoeli Klein returns to the creative process that ultimately led to the wonderful words of “And Even in Concealment”: “Yes. And then Shaya put the words together and it came out: ‘Even behind the hard things you are going through, I am standing.’ And I say to myself, what’s happening here? There’s a stew here! There’s cooking here! There’s something good here!”

Shaya: “We didn’t understand how much!”

The interviewer asks: “You didn’t understand?”

Yoeli: “Not at all.”

The interviewer: “I think it’s impossible to understand how much — even now — there isn’t a secular person, there isn’t a religious person, there isn’t a person the song hasn’t touched and strengthened somewhere in life.”
