Ratziti Sheteda


Ratziti Sheteda is an Israeli song written and composed by Uzi Hitman. The song is also widely known as "Elohim Sheli" or "My God". It is of the prominent children's songs in Hebrew literature.
The song was written in 1979 and was included in Hitman's second album I was born for Peace, album dedicated to his son for hopes of peace at the time.
The song describes a boy's appeal to God, to tell about two dreams he had. In one of the dreams he saw an angel from heaven and in the other he saw a sailor, who rose from the depths of the sea. Both come to bless the children of the whole world with peace. At the end of the song, the boy discovers that there is still no peace in the world.
In 2004, the song was chosen as the most popular song from children's festivals in the Children's Festivals Parade organized by the website Ynet. In 2011, it was chosen as the favorite children's song in a parade organized by the Israel Hayom newspaper and the Channel 2 franchise Keshet.
In 2003, the hip-hop group Hadag Nahash made their own version of the song with additional lyrics.
