    "3,000 years with no place to be. They want us to give up our milk and honey. Don't you see? It's not about the land, or the sea. It's about the dwelling of His Majesty." --- A perfect synopsis of the struggle of the Jewish people throughout history.
    EDIT: While I think his "cutting off the roots of my family tree" line can definitely be applied to immigration and assimilation, he's specifically referring to the Holocaust. It's a rather forgiving way to describe what happened, too. "That's not the way to be." This is reinforced when he says "gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me".

    The thing about Matis is his live versions of songs are always superior to the Album ones

    The song is a reference to the 137th Psalm in the Hebrew Bible. For context, the Hebrew people find themselves in exile in Babylon after the destruction of the temple. The speaker asks, "How can we sing the songs of the Lord / while in a foreign land? / If I forget you, Jerusalem, / may my right hand forget its skill. / May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth / if I do not remember you, / if I do not consider Jerusalem / my highest joy." I think that's where he's pulling the "fire not gonna come from me tongue" and "let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do" lines from. The song explores anti-Jewish persecutions [gas, ovens refer to Nazi Germany] and likens Jewish people's sense of "Where is home? Where do I belong?" in the midst of these oppressions to that Babylonian exile from the Bible, and the hope of a return to Jerusalem.

      P.S. Leonard Cohen has a song -- "By the Rivers Dark" -- referencing the same song and it's sexy and amazing.

    He's still Jewish, and follows a lot of tradition, but is no longer Hasidic.

    Interesting comment by the female half of the reaction, “she likes how he has a reggae influence to his rapping”. Matisyahu is of the reggae genre and for this song more specifically, is influenced by a style of reggae called dancehall. Also, the lyrics “aint nothing gonna break my stride, nobody gonna hold me down” are from an 80’s song by Mathew Wilder...Glad to see a reaction to a reggae artist, niceness! If you take suggestions, try one of my favorites “Capelton & Dub fx-who dem/slew dem dubplate”

    Psalms 137:5-6
    "If I forget you, Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy."
    Keep this in mind when Palestinian Muhammeds say Jews have no connection to Israel and accuse Israel of "Judiazing" Jerusalem and is also why the Palestinian Muslims want Jerusalem as their capitol. It's called jihad.
    Wake up people!
