This year marks the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem's reunification, yet Jews are still under global pressure to give it up, to forget, to leave... even disappear. Angry protesters spread ignorance and resentful neighbors won’t leave us alone.
Life in Israel is beautiful...like nowhere else. To survive, the first step is remembering our connection.

LYRICS:
Let Me Be
I’ve been waiting since forever, let me be.
For my family and my people, set me free.
Let me live life as I am
Sharing peace with every man.
It’s my children, it’s my land, so let me be.
There’s a story in the past, it tolls for me.
It is written in the book… my destiny.
I bring history to you
And I know you’ve seen it too,
So the gun won’t ever change a thing for me.
So many people try to live their lives for free.
And that’s never really made much sense to me.
Tell me, how much would you pay?
It costs something every day, but it costs
more to let it go, as you can see.
Now my enemy is pounding on my door
And it’s only gotten louder than before.
I will tell him eye-to-eye,
No more trading reasons why
And I ain’t got time to take it anymore.
You’re the city of my dreams, you call to me,
Saying “This is your true home, I wait for thee.”
As I answered way back when,
I am answering again…
If I forget you, may my right hand fail its need.
