Yemenite Jewish Kiddush Shabbat - קידוש Tomer Hatuka

[lavendderrable]

Can any one translate it all?

[lavendderrable]

Yemeni Jews have remarkable voices and distinguish performance

[cufflink44]

From 0 to 0:54 is the 23rd psalm, "The Lord is my shepherd . . . " if anyone didn't recognize it.

[2010facethemusic]

pix are ashkenazi

[nutella1959]

This has NOTHING to do with Sephardic!

Yemenite Jews ARE NOT Sephardi!

Sephardi are those Jews who were exiled from Spain in the XV Cent. V.E.

Yemenite Jews were never in Spain, just as Iraqi Jews, Persian Jews, Italian Jews...

YEMEN is FAR AWAY from Spain, and Jews have lived there for the last THREE THOUSAND YEARS...until islamo-fascists forced them out!

Not all Jews who have not passed through Easter Europe are Sephardic Jews!

[amichain]

This is so good!!!

How can find the Friday Night Kidush?

Let me know if you can

[bozzeed]

yemeni music is the best

[noremote]

Yemenites sing Mizmor LeDavid for Kidush?

Ashkenazim sing it during Seu'da Shlishit (Third Meal).

Just pointing out differences.

[72Yonatan]

@noremote

Other Sefardim also sing Mizmor LeDavid for Friday night Kiddush.

[Kubangpasu]

this version of hebrew is easier than european hebrew... i can't follow european hebrew although i tried, they sound like german, no offence...

[tutmankingasher]

i think this is the Shabbat morning Kiddush

[SemiticPride]

This is the real Hebrew !!!!!  not the european hebrew they speak today

[hebrewschoolgrad]

@SemiticPride

I beleive the Sephardi dialect is spoken in Israel, and it is not "European" unless you think Turkey is a European country.

[TheSexymonkey567]

@hebrewschoolgrad The Sephardi Dialect is European. It originated in Spain and Portugal and got to Turkey when expelled Spanish Jews went there.

[TheSexymonkey567]

@hebrewschoolgrad Actually in theory the dialect of Hebrew spoken in Israel in Sephardi, but in reality, since most Israeli Jews are descendants of Jews from Eastern Europe who spoke Yiddish, Russian, and Polish, Modern Israeli Hebrew has many Ashkenazi Hebrew aspects such as:

Elimination of the guttarals ayin and aleph

Making no distinction between heth and khaph

Conversion of R letter Resh from a trill as in Spanish and Arabic to the Yiddish/German R

Making distinction between Tav and Thav

[dajudahzlion]

@TheSexymonkey567 You're right! I wish that hebrew still had those distinctions that made it sound semitic, but now it sounds like a modern european language.

[sholoborx]

Dear friend in Israel we speak the sefardic hebrew

[jerusalemjoe334]

Yemenites speak a specific dialect of Hebrew. Its not the Hebrew you know. Believe me...my wife's family is Yemenite.

[VeritasTruthEmet]

it is certainly hebrew but with THICK arabic accent

[Akiva2212]

lol @ arabic is thick.... man arabic sounds much better... but i like hebrew too just to be fair

[teymani]

arabic? we lived in the mideast for thousands of years ,trust me the old hebrew most likely sounded mideast and more or less like aramaic and that is very close to arabic, on top of this we looked like our neighbors back than ,give it another 1000 years and we will again, it is called climate condition.sorry to disappoint you.

[jsbeard18]

true my brother.

i myself am persian-israeli. persians have similar nusach and pronunciations of hebrew and i love hearing mizrachi tfilah

[TheSexymonkey567]

@VeritasTruthEmet its actually not thick. the hebrew your probably used to hearing probably has a thick european accent though.

[VeritasTruthEmet]

@TheSexymonkey567 I prefer te'emani accent to ashkenazi accent, which I absolutely cannot stand. However, the accent in this piece is just harder to understand than say, ofra haza or other very clear te'emanim.

But don't mistake my opinion for approval of the absurd ashkenazic accent. I am ashkenazi and i recoil every time I hear other ashkenazim mutilate the hebrew language.

Its weird that they do the same to english in extreme cases. Yiddish creates a terrible accent in other tongues.

[TheSexymonkey567]

@VeritasTruthEmet I also used to think the Ashkenazi accent was inaccurate but if you think about, its more almost as correct as the Yemenite accent:

The Ashkenazi distinguishes between the qamatz (komets) and pathah (pasach)

Between the thaw (sof) and taw (tof)

Between the seghol (segoyl) and the sere (tseyrey)

Where as modern Hebrew has the worst of both the Sephardic and Ashkenazi accent. Modern Hebrew makes no distinctions and has silent gutturals. Yemenite pronunciation is the best!

[Jewdicris]

@TheSexymonkey567 Real Sepharadi is not like the modern Israeli hebrew. As a matter of fact the original modern Israeli was much like the Spharadi. Watch old Israeli movies and you will see what I mean.

[Yoshuayovel]

I think he spoke not only Hebrew.

[Chiel1977]

what does kiddush means?? i know a reggae singer with that name

[amixofeverything]

Kiddush (קידוש) means to "sanctify". It is when the man blesses the wine on Shabboth (שבת) or Yom Tov (יום טוב).

[HarboeDrinker]

I'm not sure.. I'm not a jew.. :)

But i think it's the prayer you read when you have eaten before you lights candles and begins Yom Kippur (a kind of jewish holiday)..

Don't confuse it with the Kaddish (a prayer for the dead)..

[Yoshuayovel]

Kiddush.

Q-D-S has a meaning of holy.(I don't speak hebrew. I just know root)

[hebrewschoolgrad]

@HarboeDrinker What???????? You don't eat on Yom Kipur, you FAST all day until sundown.......and Yom Kipur is the Holiest of all Jewish holidays, it is the Day of Atonement, whoa, you could have found that out on Wikipedia! lol

[HarboeDrinker]

@hebrewschoolgrad

What do I know. As I wrote 8 months ago: I'm not a jew.

[nowhere8]

wow

[arielsion]

This guy's Hebrew is totally Yemenite, except for one thing: a Yiddish resh which gives him away as having grown up in Israel.

[jachnoon1]

kapara alecha YAM60

[callmetricia]

The best hewbrew is spoken by those form Yemen. I adore it.

[omrisharaby]

exaclly ^^

[3rdSamurai]

@callmetricia It sounds the closest to the original hebrew, but Sefaradic traditions resemble the halachah and kabbalah.

[callmetricia]

@3rdSamurai - True but it's what I grew up with so it makes more sense to me lol .

[3rdSamurai]

@callmetricia You are entitled to follow your minhag without having to think twice.

[talyaga]

BEAUTIFUL! I love the way you sing.

[GilaTalya]

Yemenit Kiddush...whaou..Beautiful !
