When I ask myself
Who am I?
I’m a little Sephardi
a little Ashkenazi
a little Israeli
a tiny drop of galuti (exiled)
Maybe religious
maybe irreligious
but between myself and me
I am a Jew
and that’s special
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’m a Jew
and that’s special
not worse, not better
a little bit different
Simply a Jew!
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 and not be afraid
because I am a Jew
and that’s special
not better than the other, not worse
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.
Simply a Jew - like in other religions
we have; festivals, Shabbat, customs and mitzvot
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 love my land and I love my nation
I have been here and there and all over the world
I have two opinions on what you will ask
and I’ve also got a third opinion
Because I’m a Jew
and that’s special
not worse, not better, a little bit different
Simply a Jew
