Both Ani Ma'amin and a poetic version, Yigdal, form part of the prayers of Jews and have inspired varied settings to music.
The recitation consists of thirteen lines, each beginning with the phrase "Ani ma'am be-Emunah Shelema" ("I believe with full faith").
Fastag announced that he would give half of his share of the World to Come to whoever would bring the tune to the Modzitzer Rebbe, who had escaped Europe in 1940.
[citation needed] Another tune to the words of Ani Ma'amin is used as a positive song included at happy events, mainly weddings.
Ani Ma'amin was sung by the choir during Pope John Paul II's historic visit to the Synagogue of Rome on April 13, 1986.
