Thank You Hashem (often abbreviated as TYH) is a grassroots movement within the Jewish community that encourages the expression of gratitude toward God in everyday life. It emphasizes recognizing the blessings in all circumstances. [1] [2]

History

The origins of Thank You Hashem date back to 2018 in Tzfat, Israel, when a casual expression of gratitude was overheard and subsequently embraced by a group of friends. Inspired by the simplicity and authenticity of saying "Thank You Hashem", these individuals sought to spread this message of gratitude more widely. Later that same year, a significant milestone was reached when the movement's founders composed a song titled "Hapa'am Odeh Es Hashem" in celebration of a friend's fourth child. The song quickly resonated with many and was widely shared on social media, serving as a catalyst for the rapid growth of the movement. [3]

Philosophy and core beliefs

At the heart of Thank You Hashem is the philosophy that gratitude is a transformative practice. The movement encourages individuals to consciously acknowledge both everyday blessings and significant life events as gifts from God. This perspective is seen as a way to foster personal resilience, spiritual mindfulness, and a deeper connection to one's faith. Advocates assert that regular expressions of gratitude can lead to enhanced emotional wellbeing and a more positive outlook on life. [4]

Thank You Hashem has expanded well beyond its original geographic roots, evolving into a global phenomenon. It has been embraced by Jewish communities in the United States, Canada, Israel, Argentina, Mexico, the Netherlands, and beyond. [4] The movement's influence is evident in various forms of cultural expression, including art, literature, and music, where the simple act of saying "Thank You Hashem" serves as a reminder of divine benevolence and hope.

Media and collaborations

Media exposure has played a key role in amplifying the message of Thank You Hashem. In March 2025, the movement gained notable attention when renowned Jewish music star Avraham Fried collaborated on a Purim song titled "Layehudim". The collaboration included distinctive visual elements, such as unique costumes and energetic choreography, that underscored the movement's message while connecting it to contemporary Jewish musical traditions. [5] [6]

Digital presence

The movement has cultivated a robust digital presence through social media platforms. Its official music YouTube channel and other online media outlets serve as repositories for music videos, personal testimonials, and other forms of content that promote its message of gratitude. This online engagement has enabled TYH to build an international community and to disseminate its practices widely among younger generations. [4]
