Leha'Amin (Hebrew script: להאמין, English translation: "To Believe") was the Israeli entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, performed in Hebrew and English by David D'or.
The song is a ballad, with D'or singing about the need to maintain faith in the basic goodness of humanity, despite considerable evidence to the contrary.
As Israel had not finished in the top 10 at the 2003 Contest, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed fifth (following Latvia's Fomins & Kleins with Dziesma Par Laimi and preceding Andorra's Marta Roure with Jugarem A Estimar-Nos). At the close of voting, it had received 57 points, placing 11th in a field of 22 and missing out on qualification for the final by one position - thus requiring Israel to qualify from the semi-final at their next Contest appearance.
It was succeeded as Israeli representative at the 2005 Contest by Shiri Maimon with Hasheket Shenish'ar.
