“As we approach the Yomim Noraim (High Holy Days), I would always feel a sense of connection to HaShem when saying the Avinu Malkeinu teffilah. We come before HaShem and we want to buy something very expensive. We want to buy life. But we cannot afford it. We don’t have enough money to pay for it. We don’t have the merits.” The artist of this hit song, Eitan Freilich, explains the meaning behind the title of this hit single “Paid In Full”.

Freilich who is known for his on-stage charisma and energy in the Chassidic music world continues to explain: “So we come to the Almighty and we empty out our pockets, giving him whatever merits we have plus promises for the future. I’ll pick up the phone and call someone who is lonely, I will learn an extra five minutes of Torah, I will be kind and I will be scrupulous about not speaking lashon hara (gossip) for one hour a day.

HaShem is listening and he says, “You don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve felt what love means.” He sees how much we love Him and how much we yearn to improve, and He says, “You know what? You have touched my heart. Here it is, Paid in Full.”
