If you don't know Hebrew be sure the close caption button is on or see the text below. The words to this song are vitally important when we fight together in the war against sexual violence within our community.
Ani Yehudi (I am a Jew)
I am a Jew (Ani Yehudi)
I am a Jew
When I ask myself
Who am I
I'm a little Sephardi (Jews originally from the mediterranean)
a little Ashkenazi (Jews originally from the europe)
a little Israeli
a tiny drop of galuti (exiled)
Maybe religious
maybe irreligious
but between myself and I
I am a Jew
and that special
not better than the other, not worse
not better than the other, not worse
Simply a Jew.
Sometimes a soldier
sometimes a student
I have a lot of past
and I also see the future
sometimes a mitnaged (non-chasid)
and sometimes a chasid
Maybe materialistic and maybe spiritual but always always
I am a Jew
and that special
not better than the other, not worse
a little bit different
Simply a Jew
Suddenly I returned from afar
Suddenly I returned from afar
so we will be able to be here together
that I will be secure that I'll return to laugh
that I can live comfortably not to be afraid,
because I am a Jew
and that's special
not better than the other, not worst
Simply a Jew . . . Nothing will succeed to break me my brother
my soul, is a part of a high external light
to fix the world that is my motto
I was born like this, I am a Jew.
I was born like this, I am a Jew.
Simply a Jew - like in other religions
we have; festivals, Shabbat, customs and mitzvot (blessings)
Mazel tov
To say that everyone is sure that he is right
at the end were all Jewish, before the chair of his holiness
I am very afraid of baseless hatred
I am very afraid of baseless hatred
I love my land and I love my nation
I have been here and there and all over the world
I have two options on what you will ask
and I'e also got a third option
Because I'm a Jew
and that's special
not worse, not better, a little bit different
Simply a Jew
