The Jewish New Year, known as Rosh Hashanah, is upon us and festivities for those who celebrate it have commenced. This includes Young Money rapper Drake, who is one of the more notable rappers of the religion in the music industry today. He took part in a small celebratory dinner with fellow OVO members Ryan Silverstein and DJ Future The Prince. We get a look at the trio enjoying their meal together, and while this is a less hectic scene than his "HYFR" video, we're sure Drake was having a great time.
Speaking of the "HYFR" video, it was one of the rare times we saw the Toronto emcee relate to his Jewish religion. The visual displays Drake being re-bar-mitzvah'd, which is a re-commitment to his faith. In a prior interview, Drake touched on the video and his background.
"I think it's just insight into my genuine character. I think that's what's most entertaining about it," Drake told MTV News back in May. "The fun being had in the video is real fun and insight into my mind, because I thought of this. This is a Drake moment, a lot like the talking [I do] onstage, because that's really me."
"I'm proud, a proud young Jewish boy. When I had a Bar Mitzvah back in the day, my mom really didn't have that much money. We kinda just did it in the basement of an Italian restaurant, which I guess is kinda like a faux pas. I told myself that if I ever got rich, I'd throw myself a re-Bar Mitzvah. That's the concept for the video."
