Jewish-American activist, dancer, and social media influencer Montana Tucker released on Monday a dance video filmed at Masada that honors the bravery and resilience of Jewish people throughout history and Israelis amid the Israel-Iran war.<\/span><\/p>\n

The video, produced by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), was filmed during Tucker\u2019s solidarity trip to Israel in May, which was her sixth visit to the Jewish state since the deadly Hamas terrorist attack more than a year and a half ago on Oct. 7, 2023. Tucker shared the dance video on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the Romans and Persians, to the Nazis, Hamas, Hezbollah, and now the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Jewish people have faced countless enemies. And yet, we endure. We rise,\u201d she wrote in the caption. \u201c<\/span><\/span>Today, I dance at Masada \u2014 a symbol of Jewish courage and defiance. I dedicate this moment to the heroes of Israel: the pilots defending the skies, the soldiers guarding the borders, and the millions standing strong in bomb shelters. Am Yisrael Chai. We WILL rise again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Masada was a mountain-top fortress complex in the Judaean Desert in southeastern\u00a0Israel. It became a final holdout of Jewish rebels standing against the Roman Empire following the destruction of Jerusalem<\/span><\/p>\n

Tucker and a group of dancers from the Lilach Friedman Dance Center in Israel danced on Masada to a track that included lyrics of \u201cRise Again\u201d by EV!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBreak down my walls\/but I will rise again. Cuz I stand tall\/ in my environment,\u201d the artist sings. \u201cHow could I ever close my eyes\/ and stay silent since\/they tried to take me down\/with their violence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
