JI and JMR Jewish Singers From Across The Globe Unite & Declare “Je Suis Juif Ani Yehudi”


Exactly a year has passed, yet the memories of the victims killed during the terrorist attack at “Hyper Cacher” (Kosher supermarket) in Paris, have not been forgotten. Veteran Israeli musician Shai Barak decided to produce a music video using the slogan: Je Suis Juif – that became the symbol of 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. Among the singers, from Israel: Gad Elbaz, Yishay Lapidot, Aaron Razel, Mendy Jerufi, Shai Barak, JEW2, Dou Reim, Udi Ulman, Amiran & Arik Dvir, The chief IDF cantor Shai Abramson,The Buba Myses Puppet rock band and more. From the US and the UK: Lipa Schmeltzer & Matt Dub, Benny Freidman, Beri Weber, Eli Gerstner, Shloime Gertner, Ely Katz and more. From France: Nemouel Harroch, Avraham David, Rap sensation Avraham Moyal and more. 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. Barak: “Like all Jews around the world, I was touched to see thousands of French people holding signs with the words ‘I’m a Jew’, at Republic Square. I was looking to produce a song that would express this feeling of Jewish unity, around the world. I hope that this song will become an anthem among all the Jews, everywhere, especially during this difficult time for Jews in Israel and in the Diaspora”.
