In ‘Selfie Music Video,’ Singers Proclaim ‘Je Suis Juif!’

Exactly one year has passed, yet the victims killed during the terrorist attack at the Hyper Cacher supermarket in Paris have not been forgotten. Veteran Israeli musician Shai Barak produced this music video – in collaboration with several Jewish music stars – using the slogan: ‘Je Suis Juif’ – I am a Jew – which became a symbol of defiance following the attack around the world and especially in France.

Barak approached popular Jewish singers from across the globe, and together they recorded a pop song that they hope will send out a message of Jewish unity. The song was written and sung in 3 languages: Hebrew, English and – of course – French.

All the singers from around the world filmed themselves using smart-phones in “selfie” format. The clip hopes to be the first Jewish Selfie music video, and unite Jews from all denominations around the world.

Singers: 

Mendy Jeruffi, Benny Friedman, Lipa Schmeltzer & Matt Dub, Yishay Lapidot, Gad Elbaz. Aharon Razel, Eli Gerstner, Shlomi Gertner, Berry Webber, Avraham David, Nemouel Harosh, JEW2 – Nati Shayish & Aviram Shoukrun, BUBA MYSES – Yoav Koplowitz, Yitzchak Meir, Dou Reim, Amiran Dvir, Arik Dvir, Ely Katz, Udi Ullmann, Zvika Klein, Simcha Friedman, Elyasaf Chefetz, Cantor Shay Avramson and the IDF Rabbinical choir, Avraham Moyal, Yishay Ktaz, Nati Hadad & Shai Barak

Lyrics:

Je suis Juif
אני יהודי
I am a Jew and I am proud you can see
Je suis Juif
אני יהודי
One heart one love my brother come sing with me

אלפיים שנות גלות
שנאה ופשע
כשהאויבים מכים
בכח רשע
יש עם חזק עם אמונה
שעוד תבוא הגאולה

בלי מורא ופחד
ראש נרימה
עם ישראל חי
וצועד קדימה
לעד פועמת התקווה
נצעק בקול בגאווה
Nous sommes un peuple nous sommes unis
New York Tokyo Londres ou Paris
Main dans la main plus jamais peur
Hachem est là dans tous nos coeurs
A chaque instant le jour la nuit
La même foie nous réunie
Aime ton prochain et n’oublies pas
Ta meilleure arme est la Torah

I am a Jew and I am proud
To be one
When we shout loud with pride
We’ll never give up
This is the answer to them all
Let’s raise our heads and let’s stand tall.
They’ll be no tears
and no more sorrow
we’ll stop the fear
so we can face tomorrow
Stepping outside this darkend phase
We fill our hearts with hope and faith.

Bref! Trop de blabla! On va tout mettre à plat ,Au nom d’Allah? Haram! Tout ça c’est pas
halal!
On veut la paix.. à jamais..
Mon histoire j’veux y croire
Salam shalom ahi ça c’est la victoire, le son de la victoire
L’amour dans nos cœurs a tous nos frères et sœurs..One Love Hai
