Gershon Veroba – Let Me Be [Official Music Video]

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, a day known as “Yom
Yerushalayim.” Even while the US president visits to pray and support, Jews are still under global
pressure to forget, to give up, to leave… even disappear. Angry protesters around the world spread
ignorance and resentful neighbors won’t leave us alone.
In a statement of pride, producer/performer Gershon Veroba’s new
Ani Yisrael album shows him at his best, fusing many musical styles in
one place, similar to how Israel unifies all Jews.
In the album’s first video, we’re assured that all Jews are considered
Israelis. This time, “Let Me Be” is Gershon’s more serious protest
anthem that reminds the world that we are wasting time and lives. It
reiterates our unbreakable connection with Jerusalem and simply
says “enough is enough.”
As before, filming was done on location in and around Jerusalem,
including the beautiful Castel Museum, where Gershon drove home
the importance of history with a 157 year-old grand piano.

“Let Me Be” is dedicated to producer & musical genius Larry Gates, Gershon’s friend and the only one he
chose to collaborate with on his own two songs from the album. Larry completed his work on the album
in the final months of his heroic 7-year battle with cancer, passing away a week after release.
Now in Israel, the wondrous miracle of life continues, but we’d like to live that life in peace.
“Let Me Be” highlights that life and struggle… a struggle we will carry into the future if we must.
