feeling the pride South Africa
July 22, 2015 5:08 pm

I love Israe,l a part of my heart stayed behind when I visited in 2012! Love this song and I feel the pride of the chosen ones. May Hashem bless the Jewish people and keep them always. Israel are in my prayers.

Thank you for your explanations. After the video and some of the comments last week I was feeling like all religions are guilty of treating others with the same exclusivity.

It makes sense now.

always proud when we use our creativity in a positive way – purim morning – snow is falling – and then saw this video – how proud I am – you made me cry – and you made me happy.
keep it rolling… fabulous!!

A heartfull Thank You!

See Deuteronomy 10:15 where it states explicitly:

“ONLY your [Jews’] Forefathers the Lord desired, to love them, and ‘He chose’ their seed after them, in you [Jews], out of all peoples, as it is this day [still].”

This is sufficient for one who understands.

Lyrics by Mendel Blesofsky and Levy Druin according to credits in this very article! What’s the question?

to no. 70
March 1, 2015 8:17 am

it doesn’t mean chosen full stop. it means chosen to keep the Torah 100%. Ask any non Jew who has considered converting to Judaism what he was faced with. Many backed down and said ‘you can keep your chosen.’

love u levi and beso

To the Christian with an objection
February 28, 2015 7:17 pm

I don’t think the Torah says CHOSEN. It says AM SEGULA – which has been translated as chosen – but it is not the best translation. Being the AM – the nation – of SEGULA – a representation – implies a mission. Through doing Mitzvos, the Jews bring G-dliness into the world. So being chosen to do so is an implication from the term AM SEGULA. In this video, the use of the word and concept of being chosen is a big part of the message. Most Jews will shy away from saying they are chosen. For reasons you address.… Read more »

I LOVED this video ... except
February 27, 2015 2:15 pm

I’m Christian … though probably different from most Christians.
We all typically choose the religion we were born into. The thing that causes hatred and conflict in the world among ALL of God’s children is when we say things like “we are the chosen ones”. I feel the same way when Christians do this and the other religions who are doing the same to you.

In any case, I think the video is awesome. Just wish they’d left that one phrase out so other people can really appreciate the pride demonstrated in this creative video.

great job!
February 27, 2015 1:43 pm

Fantastic job on the talent and artistic side of things! However, let us not kid ourselves, the only way that we are ever going to have so much as a chance of eradicating anti-Semitism is when we finally begin to stand up for ourselves and stop playing the “poor victim” to the point that the nations of the world have a level of reverence and fear whenever word “Jew” is mentioned that they would tremble at the the mere thought of saying or doing anything with the slightest hint of anti- Semitism.

just love it!
February 27, 2015 10:28 am

hope this goes viral, well done and very needed at this time, especially liked the ” love you HASHEM'” banner, please make sure it gets out there in a big way, maybe done in hebrew for Israel…….. thanks for your efforts and pride

beautiful awesom
February 27, 2015 10:15 am

Go Australia!!

Can you make another version
February 27, 2015 10:04 am

Great song. Would you be interested in tweaking it a bit so that it can be used in Chabad House Hebrew Schools. Those children and their families don’t quite look like most of the pics in this clip.

Loved the refrain and the images of ppl who express their pride publicly.
Pics of those who died al kiddush Hashem brought tears. But your song continued and showed that regardless of our pain, we still love Hashem and are proud.

February 26, 2015 10:11 pm

but, I’m going to disagree with the lyrics, anti-semetism hasn’t become the norm, yes there are anti-Semites, but there is racism to all minorities. Most Anti Semitic Attucks are from Muslims, when you have 1.6B muslims that’s bound to happen. Roaming around websites such as cnn or the like (which is left wing), anti-semetic comments are flagged and often met with a reply Calling them ignorant or the like garnering far more likes than the anti-semetic comment. The vast majority of Americans have absolutely no problem with Jews, in fact almost every time I go out on mivtziom a non-Jew… Read more »
