"Privilege me to raise children and grandchildren who are wise and understanding, who love Hashem and fear Hashem, people of truth, offspring that are holy, who to Hashem are attached, (who) illuminate the world with Torah and with deeds that are good, and with every labor in the service of the Creator." (Yehi Ratzon said over the Shabbos candles)

[StorminMormin91]

Beautiful. As a Latter Day Saint, I see quite a few similarities. We too bless our newborn children in much a similar way, as well as hope to raise children that will have God's law written on their hearts and that the name of God may be sealed upon their foreheads. We wear tactile reminders of the covenants we have made with God, just as the Jews seem to do with thie phylacteries and tefillin.

[lakeeriejew]

@StorminMormin91

It's no coincidence. Christianity is an breakaway from Judaism, Mormons are a breakaway from Christianity, so your customs originate from us.

Welcome to the real deal!

[haim221]

beautiful song!!!

AM ISRAEL CHAI

[wachlers]

i am as you call religious and i think there is no difference between me and some one who is so called not religious. we both have the same piece of g-dliness. it just so happens that i was educated when i was younger doesnt make me any better then the next person

[tutmankingasher]

thats a nice way to look at it!

[DNass18]

Des anyone know where I can find the INSTRUMENTAL / KARAOKE VERSION of Vezakeini?!!

[stars1836]

Beautiful vid of the different stages in life.

This song is a prayer. After lighting the shabbos candles and saying the blessings, there is a prayer that one can say for their family. It can be found in a bentcher, the book that has the grace after meals and other things.

As the comment below says, the people in the video are regular Torah observant Jews.

[MiniMary12]

That was a huge jump from Bar Mitzvah to chosson. LOL!

[MOSHEBUNIN]

I wish you knew what this beautiful song means.

[stars1836]

[dgoose98]

get a life johnny 5766 or go stick your head in a toilet and flush so no one has to hear the ridiculous sewage that is currently spewing from your nasty mouth

[stars1836]

beautiful song

It's a great prayer after lighting the shabbos candles

Why are these Jews dressed like 1930's goyim? The yeshivish movement is a cult and has nothing to do with Torah. The myths of the "gadol", "daas torah", and others are all exposed as frauds in the important article of Dr. Chaim Soloveitchik of YU, "Rupture and Reconstruction". Available on the net, just google it.

[JewishMusic]

And you are so much better for dressing like modern-day goyim? I'll take the 1930's goyim over today's, thank you very much.

[johnny5766]

You mean like the Nazis? Yeah right, goyim back then were on such a "higher madrega" than today. Get your ass out of your Gemara and get an education. Brainwashed nutjob. There were no seforim in the past. Rashi was written by scribes on separate expensive parchments. You black hatters are a cult, get over it. Jews in all generations dressed and acted like the "goyim" around them, and accepted general culture. Lakewood and Ponovezh are destroying the Jews.

[johnny5766]

Did you know that the channuka dreidel is a German gambling game? Did you know that the bar mitzva celebration is a medieval Christian minhag? Did you know that dressing up on Purim comes from 14th century central European goyim? Did you know that the zemiros you sing on Shabbos were written by scholars of Arabic poetry and grammar? They're based on Arab poetry but used Hebrew instead. Get an education you yeshivish asswipe, you people are destroying klal yisroel with your fake "Torah Judaism"

[JewishMusic]

I don't know who you are, but clearly you are not Jewish, as true "Torah Jews" do not speak with such contempt and coarseness towards other Jews, nor towards anyone for that matter. I'm sorry you have trouble with so-called black-hatters and "yeshivish" people. Why are you so obsessed with them? Who do YOU think represents true "Torah Judaism" today?

[johnny5766]

There is no true "Torah Judaism" and nobody represents it. Throughout Jewish history each Jewish community was integrated (except when forcibly excluded in one way or another) into the surrounding society culturally. "Torah Judaism" is a modern myth, an invention of "kiruv" (actually KERUV) groups and ultra-orthodox fanatics.

[johnny5766]

You know why Jews had to wear distinguishing badges at some points in the middle ages? Because the Church didn't want Jews to use Christian prostitutes, only Jewish ones. That's right, there were Jewish prostitutes. Why isn't that in my "Artscroll" history book? Oh yeah, because Lakewood, and their fake version of Jewish history are all propaganda and have nothing to do with "Judaism". Go take your "Jews don't talk like that" mussar bullshit and shove it!

[intrepid93]

You must have some major issues with religous jews. Why would the arstcroll mention jewish protitiutes? what does it have to do with tefillah? The torah mentions them, ever heard of Tamar and Yehudah? And what do u have against Lakewood? If they want to live a sheltered life, why does that bother you? why cant you just accept that ppl serve g-d differently, and thats how they want to do it. Dude, get a life, and start worrying about yourself, not what u think other people's problems are.

[JewishMusic]

Of course Jewish communities are influenced by the surrounding society. What does that have to do with Torah Judaism? Torah Judaism refers to the practice of Judaism in a way that conforms to the rules set forth by the Torah. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Jews do not follow these rules.

[johnny5766]

Why don't they? Did they all "go off the derech"? No. Jews were never "frum". Jews just did the traditions that their villages did, and nothing was written down. There was never any kavana and no seforim, everything was done by just doing what everyone else did. You didn't look stuff up in seforim, people didn't even know the reasons for what they did. So when democracy and equality came around, almost everyone just stopped keeping it. Liberal Modern orthodoxy is closest to the truth.

[JewishMusic]

Now this is just silly. First, how are you so sure of the "truth"? Second, it's absurd to claim that "Jews were never 'frum'". Judaism is a religion, so obviously Jews who practice Judaism, are, by definition, "frum" - i.e. religious. Don't get me wrong, there's more than one way to live as a religious Jew - but that doesn't negate the idea of living according to the Torah, which is what religious Jews (whatever the stripe) attempt to do.

[johnny5766]

But what does it mean to be frum? If there are no seforim, half your kids die by age 5, quarter of women die in childbirth, open sewage in the streets, no gedolim, don't know anything 5 miles beyond your village for your entire life, what kind of "religion" is that? This applies to goyim also. All people lived like this, it's called traditionalism, people just did what everyone else did, without questions. So when the outside society changed, so did they, and everyone stopped keeping it.

[johnny5766]

(con'd)

But for some Jews a new kind of religion was created at Lakewood and Bnei Brak, a religion based on trying to recapture what life was like in the past, through the invention and mass availability of books, all rishonim and achronim, all for very cheap. Everyone has their own Mberurah and Mtorah, and their own mini shas. This is a new type of Judaism that is not like how the Jews lived in the past, which wasnt based on seforim and learning because it didn't exist, except for a minority.

[freeddesign]

So basically you'd rather the vast majority of Jews be ignorant of Torah, the Mishneh Berurah, The Rambam and the Talmud? Or would you rather that everyone learn from these sacred texts? Who cares what life was like 400 years ago in the shtetl! Now, we have Baruch Hashem a world of Seforim, easily available to learn. And do you blame anyone for wanting a little peace and quite from the media and rubbish all over the world?

[JewishMusic]

No seforim? Are you kidding? There are extensive writings from Jewish communities throughout the ages. Where did you get your information about Judaism? I think you have been given inaccurate facts. Have you not heard of the Talmud? Tosafists? Ge'onim? Rishoim? Acharonim? Of course there have always been the ignorant masses as well, but they do not define the religion!

[johnny5766]

The Talmud? You mean that printed 10 dollar masechta you have on your shtender? How about the 50 buck mini shas? Or your 7 buck Chumash? Or 12 buck Ritva you picked up at the store? None of that existed, everything was written on parchment, by soferim, and it was all rare and expensive. You know how much a sefer Torah costs? A megilla? Imagine Rashi on Shemos the same way, written by a sofer. Rishonim were rare and far between, you had to be a wealthy scholar and travel for weeks.

[JewishMusic]

Yes, and people relieved themselves in outhouses, ate rotten meat, slept in bug-infested beds, traveled on foot or horse, had no computers, had no reliable means of telling time accurately, and did not have antibiotics. Your point? Clearly you have a bone to pick with religious Jews, but your rants are mystifying!

[johnny5766]

I highly recommend you read Dr. Hayim Soloveitchik's (he's religious, right?) article "Rupture and Reconstruction" from the 1994 tradition. It's available online, just google it. I never attacked "religious Jews" but ultra-orthodox Jews, there's an important difference.

[MOSHEBUNIN]

The people the people that you call the "Ultra Orthodox" ARE the religious Jews that you have no problem with. The unaffiliated call religious Jews "Ultra Orthodox" but truthfully there is no diffference. There NOTHING "Ultra" about them! Come hang around Jews (which I assume that you are) who know somewhat more about Torah-true Judaism that you do. Just for two weeks. Ignorance is Bliss. Come see what it is really all about!

[intrepid93]

what proof do u have of that? are saying that all those ppl who gave up thier lives for judasim are just doing it out of peer pressure? Those jews who refused to work on shabbos, and as a result had no food to put on the table. Modern orthox is a bunch of lies that ppl made up cuz the torah wasnt convenient for them. You cant keep certain halachos, and then decide to keep others. tzniut is an essential law yet you modern orthox woman "dont beileve in it" what gives u the right to distinguish?

[klajnfeldcs]

i always listen to this song

[klajnfeldcs]

AWESOME

[extazy17]

[ArielWeiss]

[ptitefete]

hey

This song is amazing!

Its coming from the prayer women are saying after hadlakat nerot of shabat (yehi ratson)

יהי רצון מלפניך ה' אלוהי ואלהי אבותי..., ותשכן שכינתך בינינו וזכנו לגדל בנים ובני בנים חכמים ונבונים, אוהבי ה' יראי אלהים, אנשי אמת זרע קדש. בה' דבקים ומאירים את העולם בתורה ובמעשים טובים, ובכל מלאכת עבודת הבורא. אנא שמע את תחנתי בעת הזאת...,".

enjoy

[ykilstein]

First of all, Baruch Levine is an adult. There are also children singing. 2nd, This might be the most beautiful Jewish recording in the past 2 years. If you don't know what it means, go buy the CD and look up where the song is from.

[sauvagebri]

Eduque l'enfant selon sa voie, et ainsi, même devenu adulte, il ne s'en écartera point. Proverbes 22,6

[sauvagebri]

très beau !

[jondrums9]

hes about 30 years old hes not a kid he just has a high voice dont just assume hes a kid but his album vezakeini highly recommended!!

[moshehachazan]

How old is this kid, He can't be more than 10 years old because at 11 years the voice starts to mature. He must be 9 or 10 years old. Thats my guess

[CMPentertainment]

what are you talking about some kids have their kid's voice till their 15 or 16. i know i had mine till i was 13.

anyway this guy Boruc levin is not a kid he is an older guy.

[hotlocal]

hahahaaa hes a older man
