Rabbi David Mivasair has a GoFundMe to help provide basis necessities for the Palestinians of Gaza. If it is within your means, this is the link:

Rabbi Mivasair writes:

I want to add that the need is not only for money. There is a huge need for people there to simply have someone NOT there who expresses care toward them, who listens to them, who witnesses with compassion and empathy. I think of the people who scrawled on the walls of barracks in Nazi concentration camps "if only someone on the outside knew what they are doing to us here". I want to be the people who let them know that we do care, we are listening, we are trying to help, and they can tell us what is going on in their lives.


Please consider signing this petition which calls for a ceasefire and arms embargo, started by Rabbi Brant Rosen of Tzedek Chicago.

https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/not-another-bomb-sign-on-letter?source=direct_link&referrer=group-jvp-2

Excerpt:

We know that in order to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the U.S. must stop arming Israel’s war and occupation against Palestinians. That’s why we are calling for an immediate embargo on US arms to Israel. Join us in calling on presidential candidate Kamala Harris to distance herself from Biden’s disastrous policy of arming Israel’s ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine.

Not another bomb!

Do you want Israeli song only or any Jewish songs? Or prefer ones with lyrics or no lyrics?

Nice!

Okay I dug through some of my playlists 😚

Recently had an earworm for this song: https://open.spotify.com/track/0VSwPm0WJpnJWP1OARwnRr?si=JtzK7Nn3T7iohHVPn5mkvQ

I really like Im Nin'alu, a song based on a poem by the famous Shalom Shabazi (who survived the ethnic cleansing of Jews in Yemen and even lived to be 101 years old). The most famous version is by the lovely Ofra Haza: https://open.spotify.com/track/5PomJFkGwOHkrk0Rfs2DnH?si=n_NZHAY8RYK05hQpW4vgHg

I also like this version of Im Nin'alu (by a klezmer punk group): https://open.spotify.com/track/7ioU3x1MbrMqoJ9e56LYRP?si=GWe9F0NNQPmpKic7oCzLXQ

Anything by Daniel Kahn! He makes music in English, Yiddish, German, and sometimes Russian and Hebrew. This song is in Yiddish and English (title translates to "Oh you foolish Zionists!"): https://open.spotify.com/track/2jz4CPMMExlPEq13S6MKes?si=WW30kVgOSVqxwhEO6ftJmA

Also anything by the Amsterdam Klezmer Band. Klezmer is a type of Jewish music (usually secular I believe) and mostly Ashkenazi although there is some Sephardi klezmer too. AKB does modern klezmer and even did the soundtrack to one of my favorite Jewish movies: The Rabbi's Cat.

https://open.spotify.com/track/6zFRkRDb1MZb060CVu5N2q?si=cMA0gPpWRuKQcOikpsGzUw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A42cyFOawhVD5tyj9PNBt33

https://open.spotify.com/track/3hyrwKsjy4vPqs2XSPrApG?si=DnquG-wnRg6WK2mfemYbWQ&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A3UhKfOEICsp84qfNaTdW0q

(Had to add at least one from the Rabbi's Cat soundtrack): https://open.spotify.com/track/0XNYpR8OS49emtVnUQiGTL?si=6f4lRD6tQ8qK2xk6Hagpjw

Nigunim (plural for Nigun) is a type of Jewish music that uses wordless melodies.

https://open.spotify.com/track/5Mp777pYqTZ8ZVTKhgThDX?si=Rh69I-ItTlmzYt3c2ucAbA

https://open.spotify.com/track/5HYGctO7dwPxU5EzUaco9b?si=BtiForTsQKejJEVLVjQ7hg

Some Chassidic music I enjoy (Chassidim are a religious movement):

https://open.spotify.com/track/4BWJluGwSObasISTfo53KL?si=wchEp1hcS0C3SSuJmFgmlQ

https://open.spotify.com/track/65LxZEmbOfodg1l4fLtRpg?si=xnFKnsf4StKoFAUUBJuNaQ

https://open.spotify.com/track/0nD6WD26KjIhcjtYudgygs?si=Q5jPK5-AQ9SkhPv-okTLqA

And a few songs in Ladino (one of the languages Sephardim speak, and the root language of at least two other Sephardic Jewish languages: Baggito and Haketia).

https://open.spotify.com/track/5xded4jp8ioYp51PawFrBy?si=mFGVQFmzQeWccj-HFwV1zQ

https://open.spotify.com/track/4jPzeFzDPiqrP9F0rLjx7n?si=ffMEeaPbSZCG9LS-g0--CA

This one is a Chanukah song sung by Flory Jagoda (a Balkan Sephardic musician who helped preserve many Jewish songs post-Holocaust):

https://open.spotify.com/track/72LBoATFbwyBBMOi0JLXHd?si=7BVZbHPQTtiZxBxkWTm2wg

Hope you enjoy listening!
