Ozi in Madagascar (added 2023)

Growing up in Paramus NJ, I was sure that I was from someplace else… someplace more exotic for sure. So whenever anyone asked, I said I was from Madagascar or sometimes I said I was from an island off the coast of Madagascar. [Y]esterday … I got an email from a colleague, with the title, “They’re singing your song in Madagascar!”

Kulanu, Inc. has located and nurtured lost African Jewish tribes or emerging communities. This Yemenite-Maimondean community under the guidance of Rabbi Moshe and Rebbitzin Scharia recorded this d’var Torah.

2016 in Israel

A short video clip (45 seconds) from the Israeli news on the day that Anat Hoffman and Neshot ha Kotel had the agreement with the Israeli government about mixed gender prayers. You can see Neshot ha Kotel marching into the Kotel area chanting Shefa’s version of Ozi ve Zimrat Ya. (Because this isn’t a YouTube video, you may have to wait until the video file downloads before re-viewing it smoothly.)
