The Lion, the Witch and the Jewish Russian American in the Wardrobe
Every Jewish person that becomes successful abroad is treated here as an Honorary Israeli: Natalie (Hershlag) Portman, Gene (Chaim Witz) Simmons, the girl in the Yes We Can video - basically if you have experienced worldwide success, no matter how vague your connection to the Holy Land, or how long it has been since you last visited - Israelis will find a way to not only prove you were always one of us, but that your success is directly linked to your being one of us.
I tell you… those Israelis will grasp at anything…
Singer-songwriter and Honorary Israeli Regina Spektor 
was one of the artists chosen to sing for the new Narnia film released last week. Have a listen and see if you like the song as much as I and Perez did:

Regina Spektor - The Call - Lyrics
|
It started out as a feeling Which then grew into a hope Which then turned into a quiet thought Which then turned into a quiet word And then that word grew louder and louder ’till it was a battle cry I’ll come back.. Just because everything’s changing Pick a star on the dark horizon Now we’re back to the beginning Let your memories grow stonger and stonger You’ll come back |
