God Bless America With a Yiddish Twist - Shulem | גאט בענטש אמעריקע - שלום למר




As Jews, we are deeply grateful to America, the land of the free, for providing a haven where we can celebrate our heritage and practice our religion unconditionally. Written by Irving Berlin, a Jewish immigrant, "God Bless America" has long symbolized hope and unity. It is our fervent prayer that this country continues to be safe and welcoming, under the right leadership, and remain a symbol of freedom for all. Enjoy this rendition in both English and Yiddish, blending the heartfelt patriotism of this classic with the rich cultural heritage of the Jewish people.


Performed live at a Tzedek Association event in honor of Senator Cory Booker in February of 2024.


Lyrics:


While the storm clouds gather,

Far across the sea,

Let us pledge allegiance,

To a land that’s free.

Let us all be grateful,

For a land so fair,

As we raise our voices,

In a solemn prayer.


God bless America,

Land that I love,

Stand beside her and guide her,

Through the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,

To the oceans white with foam,

God bless America,

My home sweet home.

God bless America,

My home sweet home.


גאט בענטש אמעריקע

לאנד וואס איך ליב

שטייזשע ביי איר און מדריך זיי איר

מיט א שטראל איבעראל איבער איר

פון די בערגן ביז די טאלן ביז די ים'ן ווייס מיט שוים

גאט בענטש אמעריקע מיין זיסע היים
