\nIt is remarkable that Jews have maintained a tangible cultural identity through those 26 centuries of dispersion, and perhaps even more remarkable that genetic studies now show they have maintained a substantial genetic identity as well.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is the answer – sharing faith and music.<\/p>\n

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
\nThat David played, and it pleased the Lord
\nBut you don’t really care for music, do you?
\nIt goes like this
\nThe fourth, the fifth
\nThe minor fall, the major lift
\nThe baffled king composing Hallelujah
\nHallelujah
\nHallelujah
\nHallelujah
\nHallelujah<\/p>\n

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
\nYou saw her bathing on the roof
\nHer beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
\nShe tied you
\nTo a kitchen chair
\nShe broke your throne, and she cut your hair
\nAnd from your lips she drew the Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Baby I have been here before
\nI know this room, I’ve walked this floor
\nI used to live alone before I knew you.
\nI’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
\nLove is not a victory march
\nIt’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

There was a time you let me know
\nWhat’s really going on below
\nBut now you never show it to me, do you?
\nAnd remember when I moved in you
\nThe holy dove was moving too
\nAnd every breath we drew was Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

You say I took the name in vain
\nI don’t even know the name
\nBut if I did, well really, what’s it to you?
\nThere’s a blaze of light
\nIn every word
\nIt doesn’t matter which you heard
\nThe holy or the broken Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

I did my best, it wasn’t much
\nI couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
\nI’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
\nAnd even though
\nIt all went wrong
\nI’ll stand before the Lord of Song
\nWith nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah<\/p>\n\n
