Aaronic Priestly Blessing (Num. 6:24) - ברכת כהנים

[Madkre8tor]

@YKahen so being totally off-key is the Yemenite singing style? LOL 

[hhocar]

I don't think any decent human being, regardless of belief would use a language and disrespect any ones belief. Now that is what you wrote on a channel that was stupid already. Seems like you are spending a lot of time checking any post that has any thing to do with Islam, even if is a misrepresentation. I mean look what you wrote and what you claim to be. SHAME ON YOU!!!

pisslam bloody pedophile worship...fucking dirty black stone...

I love the this blessing but I always wish that the cohanim would use the actual Name since YHVH specifically said that He would put His Name on the people in order to bless them not a title. Just my 0.02



[Conspiracyknowledge]

@omedyashar then you haven't heard this prayer chopped and screwed with a DJ scratching in the background hahaha

[amirh16790]

על איזה מסורת אתה מסתמך שאתה מתרגם שם הויה לyhwh ?

[JubanTeyman24]

@amirh16790

אני חושב שהוא מסתמך על מסורת המשיחים.

[hummbug1]

haroon the brother of musa

[Hugovstar]

THey use pagan title Adhonoy... I believe the proper pronunciation YHWH is Yahuah or Yahuwah..

I am that which I am." What YHWH said His Name was when He spoke to Mosheh at the burning bush; which is to say YAHUYAH , and we know the waw and the yod are interchangeable as vowel pronunciations; therefore YAHUWAH; and then as YAHU'AH. When one removes the "D" from YAHUDAH it becomes YAHUWAH. What do you think...I could give you more information if you like.

[HadasahMiryam]

@Hugovstar May I suggest Hebrew lessons from a native Hebrew speaker expert in such matters in order to be very sure you are exalting the Most High and not insulting HIS precious Name. This is not something I'd risk guessing at, and we're all just guessing until Mashiach comes and tells us for sure Himself. Shalom and Blessings. :)

[judaismforpilipino]

@Hugovstar u only believe that ..BH

[benshehzad]

Ok sorry missed the english translation cause i was fixed on the hebrew tranlsiteration in lower part of screen.

thanks for the translation. It was awe-inspiring as I mentioned earlier.

[benshehzad]

What is the aim of this particular prayer/blessing?

[omedyashar]

@benshehzad

The Almighty commanded the sons of Aharon

(Aaron) that they say this blessing to the children of Israel.

The Blessing is a reminder that the Creator is the ultimate source of all blessing and goodness, and that ultimate peace only comes from connecting one's life to His ways.

[benshehzad]

Very inspiring. All that recitation stirs the fear and an awe of The Creator.

How true that we can not grasp His dimensions).

I am not sure what they are reciting but it sounds phonetically similar to the Quranic recitation of verses about Greatness of The Sustainer.

[YonahMoshe]

Yeah.. this probably should have been posted without a visual. Not supposed to look at them durring this blessing.

[raanan111]

@YonahMoshe

Looking at the HANDS was forbidden when the cohanim blessed the people in the Temple. The purpose of this clip was probably to show that some YEMENITE Jews have the custom NOT to cover their hands during the cohanic blessing. I believe the prohibition against looking at the hands was in case they had some type of blemish then it wouldn't disturb the concentration of the one being blessed (though I'm not sure).

[omedyashar]

זה מוציא שם רע.  אין לך בסיס לומר כזה דבר. זה צולם בחול המועד -- לא בחג ולא בשבת.

השם ירחם עלך.

[jewpenitent]

מה מוציא שם רע?

[Theysee35]

Thanks we appreciate you putting on English Subtittles here at least we are following the story board.May Adonai Bless Us All according to His goodness.

[BrooklynNotQueens]

שלא עשני סאטמאר

[pixiedusttt]

Isn't there an issue with looking at them during the blessing?

[omedyashar]

Correct, one isn't to look at the Kohanim during the blessing ...so don't look at them.

Yemenite Jewish Kohanim do not traditionally cover their faces during birkath Kohanim... nor did Syrian Jews (TRADITIONALLY in recent times). The practice of NOT covering the face was widespread enough that its mentioned int he Shulhhan Arukh, and the Shulhhan Arukh does not forbid it. ...It's no big deal to refrain from staring at them.

[Chosid34]

you omedyashar and birmington, and moshenl are crazy. acting like kids. bickering back and forth. The Birchat Kohenim blessing should not be posted over the net for all to see. very disrespectful. especially video taping. the True Mashiach will straighting everyone out.

[ryukenb2k]

Shalom to you and family from a former yehudi. im disgusting people make this special occassion into a side show for millions to see on youtube. I am muslim now and still rememeber yom kippor,shabbat how to tie tefillin,muslims and jews almost pray identically in positioning.

[MosheNL]

Your name "Standing straight" In who's eyes?We all have self love, but TOTAL subservience to a religion of your own making-your "little private school project", call it a religion.Napolean Bonaparte was able to convince Frenchmen twice to fight war. 2000 years ago a movement started in Greco-Rome.Its flourished with many multiple offshoots..You honestly doing this for your own spiritual gratification?Open 2 plugged ears .Rest 1 tongue we know its our most powerful organ good &bad.

[omedyashar]

The name "omedyashar" was intended to mean "stand straight" - in imperative form, to serve me as a reminder to be honest and unwavering in subjecting my personal desires to the Will of our Creator, regardless of external influences. When I made the name, I didn't realize it was in the wrong conjugation. After realizing that it isn't the conjugation I intended, I left it to be, because so many people already knew me by that... and no one till now has taken it the way you've mistaken it.

[birmington]

Omed is not imperative; it is simple present.

Amod is imperative.

[omedyashar]

The name in no way was meant to imply that I have achieved the proper level of devotion to the Creator that one should aim for, nor does it imply that I am deluded into thinking such lofty thoughts about myself. I'm fully aware of my many imperfections.

What is more perplexing is your reference to a religion of my own making. What exactly are you referring to? Ya think all the people in my videos are my faithful students? lol. IF I were to invent a religion, I wouldn't be so successful.

[KingOystar]

so beautiful to hear the Priestly blessing chanted.

[eretzsus]

Nice prayer, very powerful. L'chaim tovah

[RichardIIfan]

Very good to see and inspiring. I wish I could be there and take part. It is lovely to see the tallitot being worn and the teffillin. I wish I were part of that tradition that goes back 3,000 years or so.

[omedyashar]

You can be. Jews do not actively seek out converts, (because our understanding of how one is made right with the Creator, saved, gets eternal life, etc... is different from the standard Christian and Muslim understanding.)

Although Jews do not actively seek converts as Christians and Muslims do, people should be aware that Torah allows for non-Jews to become a member of the people of Israel.  This is still the practice today among Orthodox Jews. All the best.

[RichardIIfan]

There is a point at which we can see that what ever else is there G-d may be calling us to him and the mitzvot become not burdens but a liberation from the dross of this material world. I have emailed you about this and await a reply lol.

[TheEcumenator]

Trust me man, you're not alone in the journey to G-d's side...

[RichardIIfan]

thank you for that message. I am reading a lot but need to make contact. Are you also seeking and if so may I ask at what stage you are?

[TheEcumenator]

Well, I'm still researching and learning more. I havn't spoken to a rabbi yet

[RichardIIfan]

Yes i am at the searching stage still. I have emailed a couple of people but been rebuffed slightly. I have read quite a lot and am still reading about the Faith, Jewish culture, Hebrew, and other matters. My search has been brought on by several factors. I wish you every success in your search and may HaShem bless that. Please let me know if you would like to continue swapping notes? I think only of observant Judaism and like the Yemenite version.

[RichardIIfan]

All of which explains why we are both watching these videos lol. I don't know if Omedyashar reads these comments but.........

The main thing is that Xity and islam don't have the anwers that Judaism has and it can claim the original communication from G-d to mankind. Don't shirk the conclusions that you will inevitably make.

[omedyashar]

...always lurking in the background, lol.

I second your comments.

[RichardIIfan]

Thank you. I intend to email soon to let you know how I am doing. It still seems to me that what I have already said holds good. I hope that will be okay.

Shalom.

[temoniprince]

where is this at!

[omedyashar]

In the Holy Land.

[omedyashar]

birushalaiyim

[dxbgurl888]

Interesting, Harun brother of prophet Moses was mentioned more than once in the Quran, He was a very important figure in the prophet Moses life.

do they live in israel or Yemen? i wonder what their opinion is about israel's policies and war?

[omedyashar]

They're in the Holy Land. They have opinions on Israeli policies, not an 'opinion.' Unlike popular opinion, Jews in the Land of Israel are very diverse, and have various opinions regarding the "Israeli" government.

One opinion that is openly hated here is targeting civilians in political / religious attacks. IF people over here thought the Israeli army targets civilians, there would be outcry on the ISRAELI side - our neighbors celebrate when Israeli civilians are targeted.

[dxbgurl888]

well, i think your neighbours confuse Judaism with Zionism..( that most Jews are Zionists) and they know Zionism is out to wipe them out.

with the settlements increasing on their land, and the gazillion checkpoints, you're neighbours have the right to be angry.

celebrating deaths on both sides is sick.

in the end..its good to see some authentic religion out there..since religion is frowned upon in many places and god's name can't even be typed without a dash...its sad.

[birmington]

Your comments are way off.

[otw38]

kohen must have full beard to bless congregation

[birmington]

Not correct.

[otw38]

kohen must have full beard to bless congregation

[birmington]

Where in the world did you get such an idea?

You must not just state whatever you think the halakha ought to be, but rather give a source or retract your statement.

Your turn.

[otw38]

It is plainly stated in the halakha in the M"T that a kohen must have a full beard to bless the congregation. Anyone who knows halakha knows this. Go look it up.

[birmington]

Either provide a reference or admit that you made this up.

[otw38]

@birmington You should speak with more respect and say instead, "Would you please provide a reference?" rather than be insulting towards the teacher or the halakha.

[birmington]

Respond to this video...

I want to understand: you call yourself a "teacher of halakha"? Very funnny!

[birmington]

Where in the world did you get such an idea? You must not state whatever you think the halakha ought to be, but rather give a source or retract your statement.

Your turn.

@birmington לא יישא את כפיו, עד שיתמלא זקנו :הלכות ברכת כוהנים פרק טו

[otw38]

@otw38 Laws of Blessing of Priests Chapter 15

[birmington]

Now I understand your problem. That means that one whose whiskers have not started growing. It does not mean that he must have a full beard.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to explain your error.

[omedyashar]

@birmington

I'm shocked at how disgusting you've

acted towards otw38. Being humble towards others and loving your fellow as yourself is much more important than whether or not you're right about an explanation of halakha.

On top of hhilul haShem, you will be continue to be guilty of 2 other very serious averot if you do not sincerely seek otw38's apologies.

Unbelievable.

[omedyashar]

@omedyashar

By the way, in accord with the level of pride which you've oozed from your finger tips, you should already be in an exalted enough state of being wherein you should be well aware of the variance of opinions among the meforshim on pisqei halakha.

[birmington]

@omedyashar  I have come to the conclusion that yoiu are nuts,

[LeoBurns728]

Are they in a jewish ritual or muslim?

[temoniprince]

Jewish!

[moronthannot]

It's amazing to be able to see these men and in a way be able to see a glimpse of Aaron himself. The greatness of The Living G-d is shown indeed! To keep the bloodline and tradition intact this long is a great testament to HaShem's people, their sincerity in keeping His Divine Commands and His blessings upon them.

May G-d bless them and guard them!

[omedyashar]

Amen.

I know what you mean, 100%. I'm very close to this family. They've pretty much adopted me. It's unbelievable the extent to which they fulfill the commandment "and you shall love the immigrant / convert."
