Since October 7, a significant shift in the religious and emotional landscape of Israelis has been observed. Reports indicate that over 400,000 Israelis are experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder, leading to a deepened connection to Judaism and faith in God. A poll suggests that more Israelis feel religious and connected to the Jewish people, with a majority feeling a greater connection to the State of Israel and the diverse Israeli society. This shift has prompted individuals, including Matisyahu, to deepen their connection to their Jewish roots and stand up for their people. The Jerusalem Post's Editor-in-Chief notes a profound transformation in lifestyle, indicating a newfound closeness to God and Judaism among many Israelis.
