The song was co-written by 1998 winner for Israel Dana International, returning as a songwriter ten years after her win in Birmingham. It was performed second in the first semi-final of 2008 - the first contest to have two semi-finals - where it was performed after Montenegro and preceding Estonia. Despite the ongoing belief that the second performing spot is cursed, it placed 5th in the semi-final with 104 points, therefore it qualified to the final, where it was performed seventh in the order, following Bosnia and Herzegovina and before Finland. After the conclusion of voting, the song placed inside the top ten, placing 9th with 124 points. The bridge is sung with a pronunciation used for liturgical texts by Yemenite Jews and can be compared with the first line of the song, which is in a more modern Hebrew pronunciation."@en . . . . . . . .
