Ariel Zilber (אריאל זילבר) (born September 23, 1943) is an Israeli singer-songwriter and composer. He is considered[citation needed] one of the most prominent musicians and singer-songwriters in Israeli music, known for his highly literate lyrics and for his simple yet profound style.

Zilber became a Baal Tshuva following the 2005 disengagment from Gaza and Zilber's exposure to religious Jews during the fight against the hitnatkut.

Zilber wrote and performed the song "Yesh Din ViYesh Dayan", a Jewish phrase meaning there is a judge and there is judgement, the song is about how Hashem has begun punishing all those involved in the disengagement.[1]

In October 2007 he said that he would support Yigal Amir's release from jail.
