I'm A Jew
Filmed by Doug Passon
Lyrics by Ari Lesser

My name is Ari you know I’m a party Jew
Ashkenazi but still love a Sephardi Jew
A fast rapping Jew, that toe tapping Jew
I’m a get the whole crowd to start clapping Jew
A free thinking Jew, l’chayim drinking Jew
With a beard and hat like Abe Lincoln Jew
Wearing a suit Jew, keeping Kashrut Jew
HASHEM’s the only ONE Who I salute Jew

I’m a singing Jew, CD slinging Jew
One of the last few at the Farbrengen Jew
That Chabad Jew, that loving God Jew
And some people might say I’m a odd Jew
Spin that dreidel Jew, I’m a prenatal Jew
But my ima never wore no Sheitel Jew
A Semitic Jew, purebred genetic Jew
If I wronged you I’m an apologetic Jew
A Baal Teshuvah Jew, that kind of newer Jew,
Still trying to learn just how to do a Jew
An old soul Jew, with self-control Jew
On Shabbos you know I don’t roll Jew
I’m a true Jew, not a voodoo Jew
I’m that never going to get a tattoo Jew
Verifiable Jew, member of the tribal Jew
I don’t read part two of the Bible Jew
A straight Torah Jew, down to my core a Jew
Soul shining light bright as a menorah Jew
A Maccabee Jew, totally free Jew
Dancing like Miriam at the Red Sea Jew

My name is Ari you know I’m a party Jew
Ashkenazi but still love a Sephardi Jew
A fast rapping Jew, that toe tapping Jew
I’m a get the whole crowd to start clapping Jew
A free thinking Jew, l’chayim drinking Jew
With a beard and hat like Abe Lincoln Jew
Wearing a suit Jew, keeping Kashrut Jew
HASHEM’s the only ONE Who I salute Jew

A rhyme saying Jew mitzvah obeying Jew
Three times a day every day praying Jew
Wearing a kippa Jew, a thinking deeper Jew
Saying Shema when I wake and go to sleep a Jew
I’m that wise Jew, that circumcised Jew
Tefilin on my arm and in between my eyes Jew
I’m that Talit Jew, a Tzit tzit Jew
On Yom Kippur I never eat Jew
I’m that Sukkot Jew, that Shavuot Jew
On Passover only Matzot Jew
That Shabbat Jew, living in Tzfat Jew
Got that Cholent that’s hot out the pot Jew
A holy land Jew, with clean hands Jew
Always trying to do HASHEM’s command Jew
Overachiever Jew, I’m that Yeshiva Jew
Spitting flows that’ll make you a believer Jew

My name is Ari you know I’m a party Jew
Ashkenazi but still love a Sephardi Jew
A fast rapping Jew, that toe tapping Jew
I’m a get the whole crowd to start clapping Jew
A free thinking Jew, l’chayim drinking Jew
With a beard and hat like Abe Lincoln Jew
Wearing a suit Jew, keeping Kashrut Jew
HASHEM’s the only ONE Who I salute Jew

Orthodox Jew, outside the box Jew
Take a bagel with no cream cheese or lox Jew
I’m a vegan Jew, not a meat eating Jew
Trying get back to the Garden of Eden Jew
That long hair Jew, I’m Nazir Jew
With a full beard when I look in the mirror Jew
One of a kind Jew, no drinking wine Jew
The only funeral I’ll go to is mine Jew
I’m a hippie Jew, I’m that gypsy Jew
And if it’s Purim I’m a pretty tipsy Jew
I’m a mystic Jew, that Kabalistic Jew
That strictly monotheistic Jew
Not a pagan Jew, not a Ronald Reagan Jew
Not a far right wing Menachem Begin Jew
A loving peace Jew, in the middle east Jew
A just praying for the violence to cease Jew
I’m a kind Jew, higher state of mind Jew
Don’t want no stumbling block before the blind Jew
I’m a forgiving Jew, a still living Jew
Everyday celebrating thanksgiving Jew

My name is Ari you know I’m a party Jew
Ashkenazi but still love a Sephardi Jew
A fast rapping Jew, that toe tapping Jew
I’m a get the whole crowd to start clapping Jew
A free thinking Jew, l’chayim drinking Jew
With a beard and hat like Abe Lincoln Jew
Wearing a suit Jew, keeping Kashrut Jew
HASHEM’s the only ONE Who I salute Jew
