Ben Adam was the Israeli entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1988 by Yardena Arazi, who previously represented her country as a member of the girl group Chocolate Menta Mastik in 1976. The song deals with the ordinariness of humanity, as Arazi sings that "no man is perfect in all virtues" and tells her listeners "don't always judge him for the worse". With this in mind, she exhorts her listeners to "let him dream and give him breath", that is, to treat everyone with dignity. Musically, the song is perhaps best known for its final chorus. Beginning at a slow tempo, the song builds to a fast-paced conclusion.

  • Ben Adam was the Israeli entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1988 by Yardena Arazi, who previously represented her country as a member of the girl group Chocolate Menta Mastik in 1976. The song deals with the ordinariness of humanity, as Arazi sings that "no man is perfect in all virtues" and tells her listeners "don't always judge him for the worse". With this in mind, she exhorts her listeners to "let him dream and give him breath", that is, to treat everyone with dignity. Musically, the song is perhaps best known for its final chorus. Beginning at a slow tempo, the song builds to a fast-paced conclusion. The song was performed eighth on the night, following the Netherlands and preceding Switzerland. At the close of voting, it finished in 7th place with 85 points. Yardena was joined on stage by Reuven Gvritz and Yehuda Tamir, two of the members of Milk and Honey which won in 1979 on home ground in Jerusalem alongside Gali Atari. Coincidentally, Yardena was the co-presenter of that contest with Daniel Pe'er.
