Ema - The Heart and Soul of Jewish Jamaica

I really didn't know what racism was about until I migrated to America...Jamaicans are filled with love.

What a lovely woman! My grandmother that passed away before I was born was a Jamaican Jewish woman and whenever I see a woman like her when I'm in Jamaica, I imagine that must be what my gran must have been like. 🥲

This lady reads without glasses.

Oh my word! I’m sure this same lady, Mrs Matalon, was my Brown Owl (Brownies Leader) back in the 70s at Yallahs Primary School, St. Thomas! The person I remember was sweet, kind, patient, nurturing and oh so lovely. I remember she used to travel from Stanton all the way to Yallahs to run the club. I smiled even more when I noticed that we were both born on the same day of November 😊. I came back to the U.K. many years ago and sometimes wondered what happened to her. Thanks for posting this - brought tears to my eyes to see this.

I love these random Jamaican-themed videos. Little by little, they all contribute to disassembling the global stereotypes relative to Jamaican culture. The island has such a rich, multicultural history. It's refreshing to see more varied Jamaicans lending their voices as testimony to the island experience. There are many different ingredients responsible in creating the distinctive flavor that is Jamaica.

Proud Jamaican here... bless up.. I have Jewish blood also

This is jamaica. Superb and splendid

I recall meeting her and she was every bit as delightful. I was amazed by how much technology she used to keep in touch with family and friends. Such a remarkable lady. Thanks for capturing and sharing the love.

I’ve heard of many different types of ppl in Jamaica, but I never even thought about Jewish people in Jamaica. That’s so cool!

Beautiful lady, it’s very important to highlight the cultural minorities in Jamaica. Like East Indians, Germans of Seafood Town and the old Chinese community. Jamaica is a country that is largely populated by people of African decent who are the greatest influence on its unique culture.

I agree with her as a Jamaican, I never what was racism growing up, we were all one. God bless Jamaica. She is a Lovely lady. Speak truth from the heart.

Rest In Power Ema❤️❤️🙏🏾

Everybody was just together"..... Out of Many One People. I think people from other countries find it difficult to believe that's how we live, especially Americans.

Such a beautiful lady she's very nice loving and caring that's how we should all live in this world more love from the heart in the eyes of God the only God the invible God amen

She reminds me of my grandmother. She was the same complexion and was from fairy hill in Jamaica. Loved the video!

What a lovely lady. Thanks so much for sharing this!

We dont know racism in Jamaica, my family is mixed with four different races and we all live one another,,,, Jamaica land we love

Her mind is on point!!!
