Hate to Faith | Jewish Music A raw and unflinching journey from indoctrinated hatred to awakened truth, this song tells the story of a soul raised on antisemitism who dares to question everything. From chants of destruction to whispers of doubt, from fear and exile to faith and return, it traces a miraculous transformation guided by Hashem’s hidden hand. A testimony of courage, survival, and spiritual rebirth, this is a powerful anthem of teshuvah — proof that even the deepest darkness can be turned into blazing light.
SONG: Hate to Faith
LYRICS:
I was an Antisemitic, a die-hard Jew hater.
You'll see how Hashem turns the tables later.
Muslim Palestinian is what I said all proud.
Twenty-something years I said it out loud.
They showed me violence beginning age three.
As a toddler to strive to be,
A suicide bomber, die for the sake of Allah.
Go to heaven-- In-Shaa-Allah!
My tongue learned a language of anger and hate,
For the religion of peace, the gate for hate.
Hamas, Muslim brotherhood our models, that's right.
So deep in my then blood, it was my source of light.
The narrative told that the Jews are cruel,
stealing and killing, breaking every rule.
Every Friday prayer, the Jews were cursed.
Esav too, but the Jews were always first.
Even though some don't even keep a thing,
Don't pray, don't fast, unfaithful with a ring.
But come to Am Yisrael, suddenly they believe.
Their poor Muslim brothers, now they grieve.
Out in the streets, a protest we felt,
Every other month, the cards were dealt.
From the river to the sea, the chant we'd roar,
Demanding freedom and an end to the war.
"Death to Israel, get them out of our land."
They asked, "where should we go?", "we don't care, kick sand!"
Many years later, a change came to be.
I started to question Islam and its key decrees.
It was then the blindfold came off, I could see
it was never political, but bigotry.
Its baseless hate, recycled from old,
God breaks no promise, to that we hold,
Stealing from our Torah, as the Quran they sold,
Day by day more lies unfold.
I had seen death a few dozen times,
By the hands of a man, they were red flashing signs.
But everyone denied, said it was OK.
Validate and praise.
Stay as a prey.
Observant Muslim men abusing their wives.
Four is the max, giving them miserable lives.
As they teach some Quran, they'll violate their own.
Kids are dismissed and they'll believe the grown.
An imperative decision had to be made,
If I wanted to research, I couldn't leave a shade.
I was very careful in the way I behaved,
tip toe on eggshells, on a sharpened blade.
Gotta get away, I cannot stay.
If I stay any longer, with fire I'll play.
My soul’s confused, it's tangled in chains.
Creator please help me, I'm completely estranged.
Run, run, run, from humans we can hide,
But Hashem Almighty orchestrates our ride.
Looking at my reflection, no more to deny,
Been living in the shadow, no more I can lie.
If they knew they would make me disappear.
So I packed a bag, booked a flight, never to reappear.
Flew across earth, found my safe haven.
Distracted from my search, I was too shaken.
Always looking over my shoulder, my back,
I cannot be found, I cannot be tracked.
Nightmares for years of them finding me.
In my dreams it was always the end of life in me.
I would wake up afraid not knowing if it was real.
I needed a medicine to have my heart heal.
It was missing the connection to Hashem,
I had grown apart from HIM instead of THEM.
Years pass by and still no changes.
Hashem gave us Covid, we were trapped in cages.
Sorrow, anger, reflection of many stages,
Our souls trying to find a way out of these mazes.
My Beloved, 3 kids, restless and perplexed,
Streaming one shtuyot video to the next.
Landing on one that screamed to my soul,
What sign are you waiting for? Get out of that hole!
I wanted them to leave idol-worship. It was wrong.
But my lack of decency, I could no longer prolong.
I took it upon myself to fix myself first.
3 weeks later my beloved comes to me and bursts,
"I don't believe in Yeshu, may he be cursed.
The Torah truth, Judaism, is what I thirst.”
Many miracles happened along the way.
People turned, and said what they really wanna say.
Our parents alive but we're orphans today.
Hashem accepted for that which we pray,
"Those who wish us well, hold them fast,
Let all the evil ones simply be outcast."
Let them be long gone, let them be in the past.
I need peace of mind, I don't need no blast.
Rabbi Reuven and Rabbanit, a key in our turn around.
It was the Rabbi’s mussar lecture that had me really bound.
They created our souls, never looking to be crowned.
Blood thicker than water in my life I haven’t found.
Water may be thin but its pure and clear,
Close to my heart I hold them dear.
Years pass by, and now we're all Jews.
Keeping all the mitzvot, there's nothing we can lose.
Family all think we have a shorted fuse,
But if Hashem is with us, that's the path we choose!
