Matisyahu - Close my Eyes - Beta Israel Festival - The Dream in Jerusalem

[Erczetyn]

Beatiful women 

[emoouah]

Where can I buy this song? Can you please help me. Tuwdah

[jabz47]

it's obvious you have never been to africa. Each country with in africa the people have different characteristics and features. The jews in the video are from ethiopia, yemeni jews look completely different.

[explosive111]

so r these guys orthodox, they dress like it but do they believe in Jesus Christ. Cas i can't see a cross. If they r not Orthodox wat a waste being jews doesn't mean anything cas God through nd who is Christ has forgiven all his children who believe in him and made them inheritable children of his kingdom.

[eskinder3870]

@articzoo

In north Ethiopia, where I grew up, we refer priests ( Jewish or Christain ) as Kahn. Kess is used mainly in the center and northwest region of Ethiopia. Both Jewish and Christain kess/kahan dress alike, and in religious ceremonieis they put colorful 'libsi'. They also grow long breard.

[odcoolshark75]

Beta Israel- the real Black Hebrews! HaShem bless and keep you!

[missrocc]

This song reminds me of Brian... thanks for introducing me to Matisyahu!!!

i'll miss your company babe.

xoxo.

[EGOmulator]

yeah oh oh yeahh ahhh

[VeritasTruthEmet]

My family has been Jewish (recorded family tree) for 1294 years as of this Rosh Hashona. No one seriously would contend that we are non-jews and when you speak of the Beta Yisrael as being anything but my brethren and fellow Jews you spit on my entire people, my extended family. How dare you. The Beta Yisrael of Ethiopia are my people even if my skin is lighter and my eyes are blue. They are Jews, family, kin, and I stand by them until the day I die.

[naniekso]

i didn't read any of that. haha

[rniggemyer]

@VeritasTruthEmet it is you that is the imposter ! not the ethiopian !

[etanielyehuda]

Most of the pics that we are seeing are not the pure Ethiopian. There is the mixing of the Yemenite and Ethiopian.

[socsol]

and most ethiopians are genentically a mix of african and arab. im ethiopian but not jewish, however if my picture or any of my uncles or cousins were in this pic, you wouldnt know the differnce.

[mamokilo]

@socsol u don't know what u talking about..mix with African and Arabs?? thats stupid!!! read a book for once

[khov187]

These are pure Ethiopian most of those were pics of my family.

[rackem]

love matisyahu 5/5 perfect rhythm worth the listen

[emoouah]

Praises Be To YaHuWaH & YaHuWsHua Ha Mashiyach Of Yisra'el. Amein

[GGDUDE2]

yeah i think you go to temple anyway Matisyahu is sick yisrael adonia amen

[DShelmon21]

Ethiopians are so beautiful. I would like to visit there some day.

[rachelqursan]

Every human is beautiful.

[DShelmon21]

No shit Sherlock. Do u have a problem with me giving ethiopians a compliment? Do you feel threaten in some way? Stop with the racist hatred.

[rachelqursan]

How in the world did you get that I am racist by the comment I left? Chill the fuck out man I was just saying that ALL HUMANS are beautiful. I don't even know how you could have gotten the idea that I am racist by that comment. Sorry if my comment pissed you off but that wasnt my intention. Peace

[rrwiest]

hahah wtf. take a chill pill.

[SahnePuddingxD]

live he isn't the best...

[Kdogisarealboy]

ur completely wrong he is amazing live

[Hammstah]

Second the notion of my sista/bredda below, "Am Yisrael chai!" May G-d continue to love and bless all of us, Jews and non-Jews, of all colors and nations. We're all His children and not only can but must live together and should strive for harmony instead of hatred, peace istead of war.

May each of us take one step in the right direction each day, and do a mitzvah -- something nice for another.

[bananarepublics2]

I have an Ethiopian mate who says he can't believe how everyone stereotypes him and others there as Muslim. Thousands, he says, are Jews. Duh, the Diaspora means Jews were pushed out to every corner of the world. So don't say "he can't be Jewish" he came from Russia, or wherever. Praise YWH!

[emoouah]

I ahabha that.

Praise YAH!

[sweebadadeebada]

That was good. :)

[Kingsblood4]

The primary tenant of Judaism is "I am the Lord, your God, who took you out of Egypt" If belief in a God isnt a religion, what is? There are Jews of caucasion, asian, slavic, and afican races.

[orakatan123]

[zongia]

[ldudereeno]

exactly. There are several instances in the old testament of intermarriage. One example is the story of Ruth. There are Jews of every color. It isnt anything new

[phoenixred999]

am israel chai. color doesnt matter we're all israelites and brothers. return to israel to find our G-d

[skipp311]

The Khazarian (white) Jews will bow at their feet.

[schnorrershire]

[taano71]

[cash373]

[ykayfields]

all you fools posting stupid comments, like I am white or black or brown or yellow Jew, YOU SUCK!!! STOP!!! you embarrass the Jewish people!! Jews are NOT a race, not a color. you are a jew or not!! not a "white Jew" or a "black Jew" you are just a jew and that's all needs be said. am yisrael chai!!!!!!!!

[juustiin]

Exactly. There is no distinction between Jews. A Jew is a Jew is a Jew.

[ykayfields]

right on, Juustiin!!! AM YISRAEL CHAI!! ALL JEWS ARE ONE!!!

[hawkeyeishere]

Cash hopefully one day you will grow up and open your eyes.

[ykayfields]

you suck so much cash373, so hateful and disgusting

[voidengineer]

Haha, silly people, I see the blind leading the blind. The blood of the Moshiach was spilled for people of all colors. If it causes your brother to stumble by calling him a 'cushie' then do not use that label around him. Let us instead focus on the things that make for peace and wherewith we may edify one another.

"Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother's way." Romans 14:13

[mronelove]

I'm not jewish,,,this color thing also affects the jew of all color's sad really sad for all that you have been through, love Jah and know the truth.

[Eliyahu22]

Thus sayeth the lord of Hosts, "I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; with great ferver I am jealous for her. I will return to Zion and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem... "Thus sayeth the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people, Israel, from the land of the East and the land of the West; I will bring them back and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. They shall be My people, and I will be their G-d, in truth and righteousness."

Zecharia ch8: 2,3,7 & 8.

[Eliyahu22]

mariettaga- The suffix 'ish' comes from Engl'ish', which has nothing to do with the Hebrew word for Jew- "Yehudi" Which would translate as "Judean"-Jew or 'Descendant of (the tribe of) Judah'.

"Cushie" in Hebrew DOES NOT MEAN NIGGER! It is a biblical name for people who came from the Land of CUSH (Ethiopia) IN AFRICA- who were generally Black people.

Jews were scattered across the Earth and over millenia took on some features of the people they lived amongst. Europe, Africa, Asia, etc...

[mariettaga]

When they say Cushie to the Black Hebrews I know it means NIGGER. And I dont care who looks like what- It doesn't matter because what ever the whites say goes-all over the world for now. If people disagree BomBs over u know the song.

[Eliyahu22]

Oh, so I guess because you decided that "Cushie" means "nigger" then it must be true. Well then, I believe that your name- "mariettaga", means "Ignorant Bitch", and because I decided to believe that, then it must be true. Youre just a hateful "mariettaga"... use my definition above.

[mariettaga]

I didnt say that about "Cushie" Ethiopian Hebrews told me that. As for me being A BITCH I've been called worse. But happy not to be one or a Knuckle dragger!

[jewpoet]

im neither black and white but im a brown Yehudeh, raised in THE PHILIPPINES...

[mariettaga]

Is this the White rapper Jew? Y not Ethiopian music.

Good to see the real Hebrews. Race doesn't matter in the jewish (faith)? y r they called Kushie/Nigger?

THe word Jew-ish should tell u something. What does the ish mean? look it up

Good clip!! But somebody is a liar

[Eliyahu22]

The suffix 'ish' comes from Engl'ish', which has nothing to do with the Hebrew word for Jew- "Yehudi" Which would translate as "Judean"-Jew or 'Descendant of (the tribe of) Judah'.

[sargeantwelsh]

dude, you could be white and be jewish. this is the u.s. freedom of religion. if you dont know that one, please. LEAVE.

[Qad79]

how come that a jew became blond with blue eyes.thats the biggest joke I have ever heard.How come a semetic volk could be white.lol

[mronelove]

I find that very strange to,,I think the reason being the white had to create someone in his image or skin color. If you ask a White Christian why is Jesus white, most of them will reply what does it matter what color he was, my reply is always then make him somone of color, they always walk away.

[sinzlicht]

Jews, like Christians and Muslims come in all colors...why is that? From Biblical times we scattered the earth, people in the North became light, ppl in south dark...

[schnorrershire]

not the same. jews are descended from 12 tribes of israel. christians and muslims convert, whereas jews arent allowed to preach

[ethioerea]

judism is not just a religioun its a group of people or race.

[BROZ244]

Got to fufil da book

[ShrikiAsaf]

רק שתדעו שלמוזיקה הישראלית יש המון כיוונים כי ישראל מכילה מלא תרבויות שבונות את התרבות הישראלים בגלל זה יש הרבה גוונים במוזיקה הישראלית ,דרך אגב הוא זמר ממש טוב שיבוא לבקר יותר בארץ, ראיתי אותך אצל דודו טופז

[frikken4]

Hi i Love You matisyahu <33

From Fredric From Ballstad/ Norway xP <3

[dudavillela]

esse cara eh tremenduuuuuu .valeuuuuuu amigao ! see you in new york,... txau.

[yerushalayim]

The original Hebrews were certainly not black-but a semetic people-a direct cousin of the arab peoples-are arabs black? BUT, they were cetrtainly not white either!!!

[hwiseman]

Yes, some of the arabs are black-skinned but I'm not talking black like West Africans but black like some Ethiopians and Somalis. Why do some folks trip there are Black Jews (like this anti-Jewish Somali Taano71)? Did our originals look like POlish? NO. We're all mixed.

[taano71]

Shalom hwiseman I don't know why you had been labeled as a "racist". I don't really think it matters. I have great respect Sephardi Jews. but not zionst bloodsuckers.

[Rowlduke]

I disagree with the Zionist Blood suckers part. That is an unfourtionate stereotype.

[HOTma18]

What are you talking about?The Hebrews mixed and married non Hebrew people.I'm a Jew from yeman and i'm dark skined.Their are jews in yeman that look like the Ethiopians jews,and some look ligther yellow colored.

[luusty]

yes they did intermarry often...the Jews, the israelites are humanity

[mochabeige]

As THE MOST HIGH YAHWEH has spoken in the scriptures(BIBLE) there has always been a remnant. Even if the True Jews were scattered to the corners of the earth there are some of us who still knew whom it is that we were, though the majority of us forgot(BUT THAT WAS ELOHEIMS DOING)

[HOTma18]

agree

[LetItFloat]

Excellent video clip, I enjoyed very much.

[JJNroyal]

Beautiful people, horrible "music" from the biggest HACK in Jewish music.

[elohim77]

so amazing video...such of spiritual as well. I love it

[taano71]

what a joke how come falasha become a jew this is funniest ever i heard,

[elohim77]

i guess u should learn about isralean and african history. The original hebrews were black..

[taano71]

Shalom Elohim we do have somali jew we call yibbra but they do look like arbs not a black.

[PAGoldenglovechamp06]

Ethiopians are black not arab!

[taano71]

who says that Ethiopians they are a arabs?

[ahoovah]

amazing beautiful peoples the Falashas

[marina2325]
