WhatsappThe world calls them the TikTok generation. But Israeli youth have shown the world what courage really is.
The TikTok Generation in Israel
This song is about the TikTok generation being something different than the world thought. In Israel, they turned out to be a generation of brave, courageous heroes. These youth went to the frontlines to fight for their people and their land at a young age. Some in their late teens, and some in their early twenties. Too many of them were killed in action. But they chose to fight with a bravery and dedication not seen before. The song talks about how this generation is thought of as the generation constantly watching videos and taking selfies. But then, what this generation ended up really being is incredible beyond words. They fought in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Judea and Samaria, and more. They are literally children. But they put on their uniforms and fought with all their hearts. The way this songs describes this phenomenon is remarkable.
The song mentions what this generation actually is. It is the “dor ha’geulah” or the “generation of redemption.” How powerful! What a big change from being called the TikTok generation to really being the generation of redemption. The Israeli youth proved themselves to be the most exceptional generation. The lyrics address the fact that these children lost their friends, but they still never gave up. Not only that, but their faith and dedication to G-d grew.
It really is incredible how many have been craving a connection with G-d and have chosen to take on His commandments. If that’s what this “TikTok” generation is doing, maybe we should all be a little more like them…
