Zion

Just got back from the Toronto Jewish Film Festival's screening of Awake Zion, Monica Haim's documentary on the connection between Rastafarians and Jews. Both trace their roots to the Jewish bible. Both lay claim to King David and his son Solomon. Both recite David's psalms as gospel. Both display the six pointed star around their necks. Dreadlocks, earlocks, what's the difference? Matisyahu is closing the gap by adding reggae to the mix. One love baby. Zion.
