It is a song full of energy, in these days of Jewish connection and joy as we make Hashem our King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meir composed most of the melody on Rosh Hashanah 5765, while studying at the &#8220;<strong>Or Etzion<\/strong>&#8221; Yeshiva, in powerful moments of shared dancing with <strong>Rabbi Chaim Druckman<\/strong> zt&#8221;l and the students of the yeshiva. He completed the third part of the song, which became the central part, a few years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, he kept the melody close to his heart, and only now, 21 years later, has he chosen to publish it, in tribute to <strong>Rabbi Druckman<\/strong> zt&#8221;l, who passed away on Meir&#8217;s birthday, on Chanukah 5783. &#8220;Beyond the personal commemoration, I hope the song will lift the spirit, instill joy and renewal, and connect us all to our Father in Heaven as we begin the new year,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside the song, a unique animated clip is also being released, visually illustrating the words of the prayer &#8211; the reign of HaShem over the entire world. Meir himself appears in the clip as a cartoon character, which adds a creative and original layer to the experience of the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The musical production is by Ami Cohen, who gave the song a contemporary, immersive, and energetic Chassidic arrangement that combines rich tradition with a modern, refreshing sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KjA1Op_ntlE?si=0kvrJ28zFqzSFPzd\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meir Ben Dror In A New Single \u2013 &#8220;Meloch&#8220; Ahead of the Yamim Noraim and the chagim, singer and songwriter Meir Ben Dror is launching a new and exciting single<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62150,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[66,68,8744],"tags":[15535,22137],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62148"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62148"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62148\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62149,"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62148\/revisions\/62149"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thejewishinsights.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
