Founded in the aftermath of tragedy, Carey Smolensky wrote this song, representing a profound reverence and love for Israel, to ignite Jewish pride globally and emphasize THIS IS A SONG FOR PEACE, NOT A CALL TO WAR.

On October 7th, 2023 terrorists invaded Israel and brutally tortured, beheaded, raped, murdered, and kidnapped innocent civilians, including women and children of all ages leading to the largest massacre against the Jewish community since the Holocaust. Having been to Israel many times and being raised in a family that emphasized the importance of giving back and making a difference in people's lives, Carey watched the news unfold, seeing the devastation and the impact on displaced families, farmers, and communities, and knew he could no longer sit by and watch from afar.

"My mother escaped from Nazi Germany as a young girl, along with my grandparents, eventually moving to Chicago, IL where I was born. As a descendant of holocaust survivors, I am called to help in any way possible."

In December 2023, Carey channeled grief into unity and traveled to Israel for two weeks, not as a tourist, but as a force for change and hope. Supporting existing local volunteer groups throughout Israel, Carey helped displaced Israeli families that were victims of the recent atrocities, supported the Tribe of NOVA, and worked directly with local community organizations in Israel to provide food, supplies, and money to support and supplement these families in their time of immense struggle. While in Israel, Carey recorded and produced this impactful song and music video.

The recent tragedy has left an indelible mark on the lives of so many, with the displacement of thousands of families. Their homes have been destroyed, their families dead, taken hostage, or missing, their possessions gone and their livelihoods decimated. This is a song for peace, hope and strength!
