#imthatjew

Eitan Chitayat put together this spoken word presentation that spans the width and breadth of pretty much every kind of Jew there is, interspersed with inspirational commentary. These are tough times for the Jews and this inspirational video has come at the right time. Eitan wrote:

Lest any Jew forgets – because of all the violence directed at us, the hatred, the incitement to kill, the vile words, the missiles, the rockets, the knives, the rocks, the deafening silence of the world that we all feel right now – we should be proud of our heritage, accomplishments and spirit. Just like anyone else on this planet. And we shouldn’t be shy about it.

Rise up, speak up and keep your chins up. We’ll get through this because we love life and we’re strong and smart and funny and beautiful and talented and resilient and educated and hard-working and positive and so much more.

We’re okay. In fact, we’re more than okay.
We rock. Here’s a little reminder.

Love and peace to all,
