​

Released in 2010, If You Believe, a catchy dance song with Hasidic and Middle-Eastern influences, is part of almost every "simcha’s" (a Jewish celebration) playlist. Its words are a praise to God, carrying an optimistic motto that "If you believe - you shouldn't be afraid of losing your faith." It also quotes Hasidic sage Rabbi Nachman of Breslov's famous statement, "It is a big mitzvah to always be happy," sung in unison by the band members in the middle of the arrangement, which adds an element of surprise to the performance (the melody with a transliterated version of the phrase for non-Hebrew speakers appears on each part).
