African-American Nissim Black for and about Brooklyn’s Jewish community

BREAKING NEWS! FUHGEDDABOUTIT!!

BJHI asked for it, we got it!! An upbeat rap ballad sung by internationally famous Chassidic African-American Nissim Black for and about Brooklyn’s Jewish community. We call it “We’re Brooklyn”. BJHI’s chair Howard Teich dreamt it, reached out to legendary Jewish songwriter Cecelia Margules who wrote it, she reached out to the brilliant videographer and director Daniel Finkelman, who produced the music video, and they reached out to Nissim Black, and history is written. Pix is from the actual filming, this scene in Prospect Park. During Hanukkah, celebrating the diversity of Brooklyn’s Jewish community!!!!!
