A young man in a New York apartment is watching a news programme about antisemitism, illustrated with images of pro- Palestine protests and Israeli flags in flames. He shakes his head and closes his laptop as the music starts . A country-infused guitar line with a singer to match. The music video's hero, Jake, opens a letter: a business has agreed to invest in his startup. He’s delighted, but perhaps there’s something missing in his life. The chorus kicks in: “He’d probably do better in Ohr / where the light shines bright like never before / in the heart of the Torah he’ll find his way.”
