Over the last 48 hours, Moroccan-Jewish Opera star David Serero has been making headlines in the Arab world for singing the Saudi Arabia’s National Anthem during a Hanukkah Jewish Holiday’s joint celebration bringing Jews and Muslims together.

Joined over the phone, David Serero added “I hope to sing in Saudi Arabia and express my love to this country, its culture and people. This wonderful event was brought by my dear friends of the American Sephardi Federation, and I’m eternally grateful to Jason Guberman and Irina Tsukerman for offering me to sing this beautiful and important anthem. In Morocco, Jews and Muslims have grown with each others and built an eternal mutual love. Following Morocco’s perfect example of coexistence, I’m building bridges with my opened hand and heart to any Arabic communities.”
On his Facebook page, David Serero posted: “My arms and heart are always opened to all my Muslim brothers, and may the lights of the Hanukkah jewish holiday shine in the homes of all my Muslims brothers and sisters.”
This beautiful symbol of peace was brought by the American Sephardi Federation, its executive director Mr Jason Guberman, and Irina Tsukerman, Moroccan Americans in New York and the Saudi American Public Relation Affairs Committee (S.A.P.R.A.C).
