HEBREW PRAYERS (THE SHEMA)

[dylanesque66]

I hope my message went through okay.

[dylanesque66]

Very beautiful. I have never heard the Sh'ma sung like that. You would make an awesome cantor! Happy New Year. thank you for this mitzvah.

[reesessoldier1026]

wow this sounds alot different from the way I sing it. I heard that there is a different one for every day. Is that true?

[KingOystar]

wow you have an awsome voice!

[redmum57]

Amazing!!we Japanese pray like this video too!!thank you! from Japan.

[manicoquita]

@redmum57 There's Jewish people in Japan? Cool :)

[jayblackxxx]

can somebody tell me what is that black thing in hes head for?

[Israeltekhelet]

@jayblackxxx it is a head tefillin. Do a google search for "Phylactery" and it will explain it there to you.

[terabrat]

@jayblackxxx It's called "tefilin", it has the verses that he is reciting in them. There's another one on his arm. The verse says to put it on your head, between your eyes and on your arm. Orthodox Jews do this every morning except on the Sabbath.

[Israeltekhelet]

@terabrat We also do not don tefilin on several of the major Jewish holidays where work is prohibited such as: Yom Kippur etc....

[Dangerbil102]

@terabrat and Traditional Conservative Jews (like me)

[Chazzysgurl]

btw how'd you learn how to sing your prayers like that? :D (I know a dumb question- but I wasn't raised in a Jewish household and am in the process of converting).

[Israeltekhelet]

@Chazzysgurl I'm not singing to any specific troupe. I just sing what I feel. But when you convert you should also ask the Rabbi to help you with a Bat Mitzvah. Then you will learn the troupe for the section of the reading do.

[Chazzysgurl]

@Israeltekhelet

sweet, will do thanks c:

[KingOystar]

7 months ago I saw this video for the first time and felt my third very strongly, later I learnd that the shin letter in the word shema is the letter associated to the third eye in Kabbalah. Thanks for posting this prayer.

[amoogashane]

Your Shema is really long. At my temple we only have like to lines

[TheMintusmaximus]

@amoogashane

The short version is only the first two lines...which is Deut 6:4-6

Shema Yisrael adonai eloheinu adonai echad

baruch sheim kvod malkhuto l'olam vaed.

however it goes all the way down to verse 24 I think. I don't have ti all memorized anymore lol ... i'd have to cheat and google. I myself only recite the first tow lines to start my morning and evening prayers.

[watashiwa100]

I wasn't raised jewish but i love this religion and i want to learn prayers. Thatnks for helping me out :]

[foxdragon84]

why does he have a that cloth over his head?

[Israeltekhelet]

Read PIRKEI AVOT (ETHICS OF OUR FATHERS) PART 36. I talk about this there.

[TheZeroCoordinate]

[pboisei]

[BlueMoonz55]

Wow, is it just me or is that guy pale?

[ccgamom2]

A jewish man pulls his tallit over his head to go into He's his prayer closet to pray to YHWH

[mikerosenfeld5995]

[Israeltekhelet]

That should be Baruch HaShem :-)

[TheZeroCoordinate]

I mean Talit, oops.

[i2koolforu]

[Israeltekhelet]

Thank you and goodbye or peace

[syedjaafar]

[leegee23]

L'shalom,

Hungary.

[MiYaViMocoChang]

Sir, you sang the prayer very well.

[Israeltekhelet]

Thank you :-).

[shmulik1974]

תודה, וסליחה אם טעיתי!

[Israeltekhelet]

עין בעיות. שבת שלום

[shmulik1974]

מי המוזר הזה לכל הרוחות? יהודי, הוא בטוח לא...

[Israeltekhelet]

כן אני יהודי באמת וזה טוב נכון

[Israeltekhelet]

You can that you like but in most customs in example Ashkenaz and Sephard, most of us use our hand to cover our eyes at the beginning of the Shema. If you want to use the whole talit what is stopping you? I live the USA as Israel its a FREE COUNTRY to worship as you choose.

[chinkstah9683]

are you supposed to cover your entire body with the tallit?

[Israeltekhelet]

Only for prayers that are memorized

[chinkstah9683]

Shalom and Todah:) so, If I memorized the bedtime shema shoud i cover my eyes with my Tallit and what if my Tallit is small?

[shinethelove1]

music is considered even higher than kabalah..it can bring a person close to G-D..that's why they sing the prayer....bravo keep it up!

[anamasteos]

Meaning no disrespect but how come you always sing your prayers? Is it some kind of commandment?

[Israeltekhelet]

I sing to G-d because I love Hashem.

[TheEcumenator]

I love Him so much I worship Him. We worship Him. Jews, Christians and Muslims. We seek for the Almighty!

HaShem Throw us Your Rope!

[Israeltekhelet]

What type of tunes are there?

[rusyrzq]

In all my years in shul, I have never seen anyone where tefillin and kippah on the outstide of their talit. He looks like a Jewish cousin IT.
