Read the Lyrics then listen to the song. This is one of my favourites
When I ask myself, who am I?
I’m a little Sephardi, a little Ashkenazi
a little Israeli, a tiny drop galuti (exiled)
Maybe religious, maybe secular, but between you and me
Chorus; I’m a Jew, and that’s special
not better than the other, not worse - Simply a Jew
Sometimes a soldier, sometimes a student,
I have a lot of past and I also see the future
sometimes a mitnaged (non-Chasid) and sometimes a Chasid
Maybe materialistic and maybe spiritual but always, always
I’m a Jew, and that’s special
not worse, not better, a little bit different - simply a Jew.
Suddenly I returned from afar, so we will be able to be here together
that I will be secure that I’ll return to laugh
that I can live comfortably and not be afraid
because I am a Jew, and that’s special
not better than the other, not worse - simply a Jew
Nothing will succeed to break me my brother
my soul, is a part of a high external light
to fix the world that is my motto
I was born like this, I am a Jew.
Simply a Jew - like in other religions
we have; festivals, Shabbat, customs and mitzvot.
To say that everyone is sure in his righteousness
at the end we're all Jewish, before the chair of His Holiness.
I am very afraid of baseless hatred,
I love my land and I love my nation
I have been here and there and all over the world
I have two opinions on what you will ask and I’ve also got a third opinion
Because I’m a Jew, and that’s special
not worse, not better, a little bit different - Simply a Jew

Very nice, very true and very profound.
And very important to remember and consider.
