With its powerful message of togetherness, this timeless hit was featured in a movie of the same name released 40 years ago this week. The writers of this song, like the performers in our video, came together from the Black and Jewish worlds. Whether in community, in family, or in supporting a friend, we hope this performance inspires you to stand by one another. Wishing you a Shabbat shalom.
