Drake in HYFR
Recently we got a tease of Drake's new music video with photos showing him at a synagoge celebrating his Bar Mitzvah. On Passover eve, Drake officially released the video HYFR from his album 'Take Care', which re-creates his bar mitzvah, and lets us in on a little personal history.

The video, featuring Lil Wayne, Tray Songz, Birdman and DJ Khaled, opens with actual footage of a young Aubrey Graham, AKA Drake, at a Bar Mitzvah wishing the camera a mazel tov. The video then cuts out to the message, "On October 24th 2011, Aubrey 'Drake' Graham chose to get re-Bar Mitzvah'd as a re-commitment to his Jewish religion."

From there on the video becomes a massive celebration. It's wonderful to see Drake embrace his Jewish roots so strongly in a video, and that's one of the reasons we love Mr. Graham.

Watch the video below and give us your thoughts:
