Ani Ma'amin

I came across a video of a Purim celebration in Tel Aviv on Mar 14 2025. The party looks like any generic non-religious party you would expect.

To my surprise, however, the crowd was singing something messiach (messiah) around 0:32.

After a bit of searching, it turns out the crowd is most likely singing the Ani Ma'amin (1915) song by Simeon Singer.

The lyrics that the crowd sing between 0:37 and 0:49 are

Ani ma'amin
b'e munah sh'leimah
b'viat ha mashiach,
Ani ma'amin.
mashiach, mashiach, mashiach

where the first three lines mean:

I believe with perfect faith in the coming of the Messiah, and, though he tarry, I will wait daily for his coming.
