Is there a Hebrew phrase in the "Yes We Can" Obama video?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/05/AR2008020503765.html

"Add in an eclectic contingent of celebrities -- John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Scarlett Johansson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- echoing key Obama phrases in English, Spanish and Hebrew."

If so, what is the minute-and-second mark when it occurs?

Yes We Can video for Obama

2. If there is - could it be the woman that
runs her fingers through her hair? She's standing alone a couple of times, wearing a tank I believe? She looks a little middle-eastern though.

4. 1:45 seconds in a female says she can in perfect Hebrew
Need anything else ... it was annoying to hear heresy, but heck ... you gotta laugh at those who use religion.
