אני מעריך את זה שאתה לוקח את הזמן כדי לבצע את הווידאו, זה מאוד מרגיע לדעת שיש אנשים שעדיין איכפת.

yafe meod, todahlah

Just a quick nit-pick: 'Eli Eli' simply means 'My God, My God', not 'Oh Lord, My God'.

[thebuttmusclessite]

as an israli i must say - she has a bit of american accent - but just a bit and her voice is so good and she sings it great - so good i prefer here version on must of the others - 5 stars !!!

[Capricaquarius89]

Did anybody see the 2001 Judy Garland bio-ic , "Me and My Shadows"? A young Judy, played by Tammy Blanchard, sings this song to a studio exec.I don't know if it WAS Garland's own voice, but it sure did sound like her! Does anybody know where I could find her recording of this prayer?

[2SpaceTraveller2]

this cover is okay, i much rather Shlomo Gronich's one

[York22]

this is one of my favorite prayers.

[rwoodie33]

susan has a wonderful voice

[romolus2000]

superb thanks

[RomuloBessa]

Susan, the first coment in this page is atrocious, because forgot to mention specificaly your very wonderfull voice from deep soul

[elifaceface]

it's lovely, but her hewbrew pronunciation is atrocious. listen to regina spektor's version - her hebrew is flawless, and sounds amazing coming from a jewish singer.

[JayCr1]

Is it possible that Hebrew pronunciaton would vary by region?

[elifaceface]

it does vary, but the differences are subtle. not only that, she is pronouncing it as you would read it - not as the hebrew characters are actually pronounced.

[JayCr1]

Thanks, you taught me something.

[sabradan]

@JayCr1 Not really. I mean, Israel is such a small country there isn't much regional variation. I mean, there is SOME but it is so subtle that it is almost unnoticeable to someone who isn't a native speaker. Also, the more variation in modern spoken Hebrew is by where your family is from, ethnically, than anything else. Those people who are 'mizrachi' (i.e. families are from the Arab world, some people would call them 'arab jews') pronounce certain things in a much more distinctly arabic way

[JayCr1]

@sabradan Thanks for the clarification. Your explanation was very helpful.  Jay Rehak

[geekygirl22]

Susan Salidor is Jewish.

[elifaceface]

that doesn't mean she can speak or read hebrew :p

[SecretShad0w]

I agree that her Hebrew isn't perfect. However, Susan's Hebrew is with a distinctly American accent - her Hebrew isn't atrocious, but her accent is pretty bad. As for Regina Spektor, she has a different accent which also is not what I'm familiar with as standard Sphardic pronunciation. And then, again, if you sang this song with Ashkenazi pronunciation instead of Sphardic, it would sound entirely different. Don't judge so much and just appreciate the beauty of the melody.

[sabradan]

@SecretShad0w I also agree. She sounds good...but her Hebrew is definately far from perfect and has a distinctly 'Amerikai' accent. Also, just wanted to correct the translation from the info bar: 'Eli, Eli' means 'My God, My God' not 'Oh, Lord, My God'.

[sydiee123]

Gorgeous! My favorite song :)

[JayCr1]

Spectacular. I love Susan's voice.

[skkollz]
