Jewish Agency Music Video for Israel's 75th Features Artist Celebrating that she lives in New York

Jewish Agency Music Video for Israel's 75th Features Artist Celebrating that
she lives in New York
Dr. Aaron Lerner 23 April 2023

"Swiss Jewish Girl in New York. I feel at home in this place. Where people
fully dedicated themselves. They're not ashamed to chase after their
dreams."
Oops.

"To celebrate Israel's 75th birthday, The Jewish Agency for Israel and Z3
Project partnered with Shaanan Streett, the frontman of HaDag Nahash, one of
Israel's most popular and influential hip-hop bands, to create a song that
brings together the unique voices and diverse faces of the Jewish people in
Israel and overseas. The project, which originated as part of our
Partnership2Gether network which connects Jewish communities around the
world, invited Jews globally to submit lyrics that expressed what Israel at
75 meant to them. Many of these messages were then incorporated into the
lyrics of the song, performed by Shaanan and seven artists from all over the
world who work in different languages. Artist and music producer Michael
Cohen, known as Cohen, joined the production of the accompanying music
video, which was also made accessible in sign language thanks to Israel's
Sign Now organization."

Lea Kalisch who was born and raised in Switzerland and moved to New York
City at age 20 sings the following on a New York subway train in the video:
"everyone on the train looks exhausted. The poet comes to reality to be
present, Looks into your eyes. And give you something to believe in. Swiss
Jewish Girl in New York. I feel at home in this place. Where people fully
dedicated themselves. They're not ashamed to chase after their dreams."
