Rabbi Moshe Azman, the chief rabbi of Ukraine, has composed a song addressed to President Donald Trump, urging him to take action to help end the war between Russia and Ukraine. His message calls on Trump to become a champion of peace, encouraging him to “fight in the name of light.”
In a post on X published Monday, Rabbi Azman wrote, “My appeal to @POTUS Donald Trump President of the United States of America to help Ukraine achieve a just and lasting peace.” He paired the message with video footage showing Russian missile attacks on Kyiv on April 24, which reportedly resulted in the deaths of 12 people, according to RBC-Ukraine.
The chorus of Rabbi Azman’s composition delivers a pointed plea: “Donald Trump, it’s time to fight in the name of light.”

The lyrics continue with an emotional appeal: “You are the one; the world is watching you; with every step, with everything you do. Don’t let the lines of right and wrong grow thin. The light will always rise; the dark won’t win.
“All eyes on you, it’s time to stop this pain. We pray for peace here under missile rain. You hold the key; the page is yours to write. And God bless you for bringing peace and light.
“Donald Trump, it’s time to fight in the name of light. Donald Trump, it’s time to fight in the name of light.”
Another verse takes direct aim at Russia’s leadership and motivations: “They always lie, they always hide the blade. The throne of tsar is built on fear and hate. They don’t want peace, they want just blood and fire. It is time to crush the evil empire.”
Rabbi Azman serves as the head of the Brodsky Shul in Kyiv and leads the All-Ukrainian Congress of Jewish Chassidic Religious Communities, RBC-Ukraine noted.
