Abraham Marley, the grandson of raggae legend Bob Marley, celebrated his bar mitzvah last week. (Bet you didn't know Bob Marley was half Jewish.)

Ziggy Marley was raised in the Rastafarian faith of his father, which, like Judaism, is an Abrahamic religion rooted in the Torah. Abraham’s mother, Orly Agai Marley, is Israeli, of Iranian Jewish descent.
Abraham Marley's dad, Ziggy, shared a photo on Instagram of the bar mitzvah saying: “I share this photo of Abraham and I from his celebration of becoming a man according to the ancient tradition. He has reached that age of responsibility and change. JAH.”

Following Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, Ziggy publicly supported Israel by signing a letter from the Creative Community for Peace and posted, “Free Gaza from Hamas” on October 20. This support underscores the Marley family's commitment to peace and justice and maybe a spliff or two of Jamaican ganja.
Bob Marley would undoubtedly be proud of his grandson taking his place as a member of the tribe. Sadly he passed away in 1981.
His words from “Redemption Song” resonate deeply: “How long shall they kill our prophets/While we stand aside and look? Ooh!/Some say it's just a part of it:/We've got to fulfill de book.”
