Lee Diamond – To my American Jewish brothers and Sisters
Have you ever considered the miracle that has happened in our time?
על הניסים
For 2000 years we had no choice.
We were scattered among the nations
על הניסים
We were always at the edge of every society.
We experienced pogroms
We experienced the inquisition
We experienced the Shoah
But על הניסים
We returned to our soil
And it grew with us
We built one of the strongest armies
In this world to defend ourselves!
Jews defending themselves!
Unheard of for two millennia!
על הניסים
We rebuilt our language
Hebrew is an old new language
It’s spoken by EVERYONE על הנסים
We built old new cities
Tel Aviv: Haifa ; Jerusalem
Kibbutzim and democracy
Finest educational system
Universities and colleges
And a Jewish calendar
And Shabbat for all
על הניסים
Music, literature, science
Hi Tech
Nobel prizes
And a total
Jewish Culture
All in our time
על. הניסים
We’re not perfect yet
We need some more time
But “what a time we are living in”
על הניסים ועל הנפלאות
Join the miracle
The sea is wide open
בזמן הזה
