Now here is another version of the Song of Miriam I wrote (you can find the first version in my Reddit posts), in which G-d is not called He and the horses are not called his, but everything else is the same as the other version I wrote. The part in bold is from the Bible, except changed so G-d is not called He and the horses are not called his. The above link is to me singing the song. Here’s another link to me singing the song in case it breaks: https://vimeo.com/1075504638/15079c9afe Sing ye to HaShem, for HaShem is highly exalted: the horse and the rider hath HaShem thrown into the sea. Sing of the end of sexist oppression, someday! Sing today of the end of oppression of Jews by the Egyptians! Sing of the freedom we have now! Sing of the freedom we will have later! Sing to and praise HaShem, but sing to and praise ourselves also. We praise ourselves for having the strength and courage to leave our oppressors. We praise ourselves for knowing that oppression of us as Jews is wrong. Oppression of women because they are women is also wrong. Just as HaShem wanted us to stop being oppressed because we were Jews, HaShem wants women to stop being oppressed because they are women. Women must stop being oppressed by sexism. Sing that sexism must end, that sexist oppressors must stop their oppression! Just as HaShem has thrown the horse and rider into the sea, we must throw sexism into the dustbin of the past. Just as the Egyptians were wrong for oppressing us as Jews, those who oppress us as women are also wrong. We fled the Egyptians because they oppressed us. However, we cannot flee the sexist oppression within our own society. We must confront it. We must end it. Sing of the time when we will end it! Sing of the hope that that time will come soon! Sing of the end of sexism! Now here is a link to me singing both versions of the song I wrote, for comparison: https://vimeo.com/1075499453/47c72aa2b9 submitted by /u/TillHungry7528 |
