We may not all look the same, live in the same place or engage in the same level of religious observance, but deep down inside, the Jewish nation shares a common bond that unites us, that transcends distance and breaks boundaries. WeR1 shatters the differences that divide us, focusing on the unshakeable connection shared by members of the Jewish nation all across the globe.
“So many choose to focus on what sets people apart, but the truth is that our commonalities are far greater than our differences,” observed director Daniel Finkelman.
WeR1 follows the story of two characters who could be every man or every woman.
Located in Israel and New York each leads a vastly different life, yet feels an inexorable pull that drives them ever higher, an unidentified longing for something indefinable but exalted. Set against a backdrop of music performed by Israeli superstar Gad Elbaz, Australian singer songwriter DeScribe, American rapper Nissim, French singer Israel Alliel, and British performer Refael Mirila, WeR1 is journey to the highest heights, attainable only through unity.
Bringing together a significant talent pool that includes video production by Daniel Finkelman and Elan Cohen, and music and lyrics by Los Angeles platinum songwriter and producer DK Benjamin, WeR1 is an inspiring musical triumph that takes viewers on a journey from London to Lyon to Tel Aviv and New York.
Filling the heart and warming the soul, WeR1, a project of Kesher Yehudi – an organization which bridges the gap between secular and religious Jews – is a reminder to us all that now, as always, we are truly one nation with one heart.

gad elbaz is amazing man and singer
What’s the point of all these songs if no one ever does anything about it? People will watch this, maybe sing it to themselves, but will they actually internalize it? Isn’t that the point? Before writing songs and putting out videos people should start really thinking about what it means.
really good job! amazing!
It’s so true!!! People always focus on those who are tznius and those aren’t!!! They tend to forget that Ahavas Yisrael is the foundation of the Torah!!! You want Moshiach to come? WORK TOGETHER AS BROTHER AND SISTER!!!! ONE NATION!!! GO AND REACH OUT TO THOSE WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE THAN YOU!!!
The Rebbe cared about every Jew, no matter what and no matter who!!!! He is our TRUE example!!! He is our leader, teacher and father!!! We are one nation, one family!!!
Soulful song I love it
