I'm a second-generation Russian immigrant, and in my mother tongue a Jew is called a Евреи (Yevrei), which is honestly one of the most beautiful words I've ever heard. Solidarity from Canada!
Oh absolutely, one thing I think we have in common is that the experience of dispossession and oppression can push us in one of two directions: either a burning sense of solidarity with others or deep into our silo. Some of the fiercest anti-racists and some of the vilest racists I know have been Irish, many of them in my own family!@@mischlingbeerandcigarman
Daniel Kahn, you are deep, intense, and genuinely funny. Shpiel, Yiddele, shpiel.... Your Yiddish version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" led me here.b i hope Uri Zer Aviv gets this message to you....
Welcome to the kabal of secret inner jews! The Jobless Corps! Join us on the barricades and fight so the Butcher gets his Sher! Gather under an appreciation for a poet and the impact of his words. Welcome to a world that's just a little brighter. A world where there are words to describe the absurdity and duality of our reality.
Personally this song makes a lot of sense to me. I was born with multiple psychiatric disabilities, and I carry that like shackles every day. There's no culture, no unified history, no language, no identity, no nations, nothing. Disabled people are not seen as a people, even if we are a product of circumstances of birth in a lot of situations. I honestly don't understand why. People like me have been persecuted for as long as there has been capitalism, people like me have been euthanised, burned at the stake, sterilised, mutilated, imprisoned, hanged and certainly put into concentration camps. And right now I live on fixed income poverty created by a rigged social security system intended to make me stay poor and living an unhealthy and sometimes dangerous life in a bad part of town. Certainly sounds like ghetto economics to me. Only people who live here are the disabled, the old, and the war refugees, from both Balkans and Syria. While the villas and houses around us are filled with the upper and middle classes. None of them, as far as I've seen, are disabled, or refugees. Their foundations are not crumbling, they do not have to scrub black mold off the walls every month. They certainly don't seem to work very hard either, and life seems generally easy for these people compared to our lives. Yet in spite of this shared history and circumstance no matter where we go, they're people like me, rather than my people. And I think that's kind of what this song is about.
@Pisca Gherila you look like the bullying one, tbh. Really looks like you are intentionally trying to cause embarrassment to this person. That person isn't saying "oh, I'm disabled and therefore Jewish." This person says that the song speaks to them because of the hand in life their were dealt.
lovely. thank you! Although: I am missing a line (or two ;-) ) - about how the learning to be a Jew also taught us to fight against perpetrators who ...
Maybe we start with getting a few historical facts straight... Probably just misunderstandings based on the sloppy use of certain words like "#German" or "#Nazi". So, let me know if you wanna do the proposed historical review - I am German.
@Adam Zahavi Well, to answer this, let´s have a look at what the Jew makes a Jew. One of God´s Chosen, special, clever, intelligent, creative, artistic but also arrogant, ruthless, destructive and fanatic, hence permenantly persecuted... First and foremost, however, I guess everyone just gets the feel at times that one is more than the Avergae Joe, or somehow guided by whatever divine power running this place. Last but not least, a passion for self determination and freedom (in any sense) without investing too much time working. What you think?
You only believe in the "glorious Diaspora" because you don't believe G-d's promise for a Final Redemption and a Messianic Era. You think exile will return anew like de ja vu. How very, very sad. You are incredibly poetic and talented. The above is only a comment on your belief system not on your tremendous G-d given talents. It is a shame that you cannot take Him on His Word. Maybe that will change soon.
The whole point of the song is that the diaspora allowed the Jews to exist outside of the usual paradigms of race and tongue, and leaves them with a responsibility to recognize and sympathize with fellow exiles regardless of their ethnic or cultural origins. The Jews may have found their homeland in the State of Israel but that has just paved the way for a new diaspora of Palestinians, Syrians, and Kurds.

This is one of the cleverest songs I've seen in a very long time.
omg! Daniel Kahn whose video i did view, what a brilliant wordsmith and a Jew, inside and out i am one too.
"The Irish and the Jews don't share an ethnicity but we do share a pathology" Brendan Behan.
As an Irish American this is pretty accurate. Slainte and L’chaim comrade
Jewish secular askwnazy and scots. This resonates with me.

Afrolatines too believe me
Gorgeous thoughts wrapped in funny words. Thank You
Danial Kahn has cheered me up
Great, really impressive Daniel. Dziekuje za chwile wzruszenia.
Daniel Kahn, you are deep, intense, and genuinely funny. Shpiel, Yiddele, shpiel.... Your Yiddish version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" led me here.b i hope Uri Zer Aviv gets this message to you....
Just discovered Daniel kahn and can't get enough.
So did I. Wow. I'm flabbergasted.

I ain’t a Jew, but Chinese, but I feel like a part of it lol.
Daniel Kahn, one of a kind. Inspiring.
brilliant! I am wainting for this song to be part of one of your CDs!!! I need this song!
I am from Brazil. I have some some small Jewish heritage, but this does not matter. This song make want to be free and learn from every culture
You put in brilliant words what I have been feeling for years - cheers and admiration for your work.
ah uh, i love you, daniel
Mm. Huh. Should that have made me cry? Because it sort of almost... did.
That was... really cool.
InvaderJes11 I think that's an appropriate reaction.
a usevalue Cool. Thanks for the vindication. ^^;

@Pisca Gherila what?
@Pisca Gherila I´m sorry, did you even listen to the song? or did you come here do bully the disabled?
@Pisca Gherila you!
@Pisca Gherila you look like the bullying one, tbh. Really looks like you are intentionally trying to cause embarrassment to this person.
That person isn't saying "oh, I'm disabled and therefore Jewish." This person says that the song speaks to them because of the hand in life their were dealt.
@Pisca Gherila "you people" being... What?
Those that dislike rudeness and causing pain and embarrassment to others?
Brilliant!
Thank you. I really enjoyed it! I hope others will. I saved it.
love it - thanks Daniel
Awesome! Baruch HaShem!
Love.
2:18 was that a reference to Lenin there?
Lukas Sure :)
Any1 knows if there's a studio version of this song since the first phrase is cut off and improofed audio quality would make it even more beautiful 🙂
Well I found the same recording with the first phrase included
it's on soundcloud:

There is now! He and Psoy released it on their 4th unternationale album
Awesome. I’ll translate it to Russian and then send it to all my friends
lovely!

Brilliant ;)
The testament of me: all relevant. And it stays a question. More than half my life captured in Israel: by choice.
You could say this is Subterranean Homesick Jews :)

wheeeere can i get the lyrics!

It's on Genius
Bring out your Jew is easier to rhyme with than "bring out your Eritrean". Maybe we needed this.
Melody has me thinking of Universal Soldier
I'd like for you to read the book about me, coming soon , and soon you will see ;)
Libra ❤
we dont need the bottle of water though
Agreed... Sometimes I feel the Jew within.
But somehow I cannot stand him :D
So, what to do?
Maybe we start with getting a few historical facts straight...
Probably just misunderstandings based on the sloppy use of certain words like "#German" or "#Nazi".
So, let me know if you wanna do the proposed historical review - I am German.

@Adam Zahavi Some... Exceptions to the rule. Fair enough.

Maybe you are just dumb?
the auto-detect is not doing a good job with the yiddish.
No subtitles were added to the video. The subtitles that you can look at are automatically generated by UA-cam, that is why they are not good.

Is the Messiah really worth it if he says we must engage in ethnic cleansing?
For once, I agree with Neturei Karta.
The whole point of the song is that the diaspora allowed the Jews to exist outside of the usual paradigms of race and tongue, and leaves them with a responsibility to recognize and sympathize with fellow exiles regardless of their ethnic or cultural origins.

It's that Faith thing. The least reliable guide to truth imaginable!
@@goldenhorde6944 Sounds like what Arendt said.

>Learn to be a jew among the jews
You helped too elect Donald Trump, and maybe more eternal wanderer
American Jews are the second most liberal-voting minority, behind only African Americans, go look at data. Sit the fuck down and wipe your ass.
Awesome. I’ll translate it to Russian and then send it to all my friends
Слушайте, если у Вас получился хороший перевод - опубликуйте на каком-нибудь сайте. Песня и в самом деле отличная
@@АзарянГарри песня и правда крышесносная. Но только вот замучишься объяснять все отсылки. Но я вам сюда напишу 😉
@@easternforeigners Да не, сам-то я перевёл в общем и целом)
Хотя, может, ещё кто-то прочтёт.
