  • Well regardless, I think its beautiful, wish we all could get along like this instead of all thinking we are better than others...

  • That's a fantastic piece of cultural-ART-fusion created by real artist, unfortunately americans turn anything into a race war, what pathetic and hating folks, I need to stop reading the comments.

  • Great music, fortunately there's much more jewishness than jamaicanness to it!

  • this is a commercial for red stripe beer and wine. Right?

  • @midleground eat a dick you fool

  • Clever!

  • Maravilhoso! Ainda mais para mim que gosto dos dois estilos de musica (Reggae e Judaica).

  • This music is great! Where can I get it for my wedding?

  • jamaicans dont dance like that lol

  • @carlynyc how do they dane,Jamaicans that is? jut wondering?

  • @Jennifersct Definitely not like that they're dancing like they're on broadway

  • this is very beautiful to see two cultures in a hamony.i love it seen

  • this is very beautiful to see two cultures in a hamony.i love it

  • SERIOUSLY.

    Everyone needs to stop looking back in history to fundamentally flaw peoples beliefs.

    if you go back far enough, were all africans, and further back from that we were apes, and before that we were all stationary lumps of jelly on the beech.

  • @BennyBoyZinz actiually we were not apes we cam from a common ancestor

  • @BennyBoyZinz lies

  • @BennyBoyZinz What year and in what country did Monkeys stop evolving into Human beings? Please Check out Major Myjah on Youtube!

  • @MajorMyjah uhh. the APE-Ish creatures we evolved from haven't stopped evolving nor have we superseded them.

  • I love the tunes!!! Great clip!

  • This is the gayest thing I've ever seen, why don't you get some real yardies.  I don't know what kind of phantom dance that was.

  • those white jewish people are not even real jews. they funded most of the trans atlantic slave trade. they are not bibical jews. negroes and native indians that were in slavery are the real jews. when that white jewish guy christopher colombus came to the america'she brought hebrew translators with him, because the native indians spoke a form of hebrew. people wake up, these white jewish people are khazars.

  • Red dress is taking notes and will practice later...

  • Ok, this vid was a nice try. But honestly, the dancing was horrible, the music was horrible and the clothing was horrible.

    As a Jamaican, I have never seen Jamaicans dance like that. Did the director do any research before deciding on how to stage this?

  • Don't get sidetracked with the video, the music is the star in this video. Beyond the Pale are superb at improvising and making it sound like it was all written out note for note.

  • fuk me!! that bitch was ugly as fuk man!!!

  • this is stupid, the black people shoould stick to thier own beliefs. Black hebrews ar enot hebrews after all. MESSIANIC CHRISTIANITY is a joke' specially black people churches. No offense tho

  • @limepop7721 - ever heard of the beta israel? they are black jews from ethiopia and have a proven genetic link to other jews. ever heard of the kai feng jews in china? how about the jews in india? ancient israel commanded the most important section of the spice roads and many of them were merchants and soldiers and traveled extensively. even in the iron age gentile conversion was welcomed. black jews have one of the most authentic claims to judaism, being the offspring of Solomon himself

  • @limepop7721 not necessarily though...some convert just like Islam, but others have roots with the Sephardim/Ashkenazim. I am mixed race of all sorts lol including Mexican, Jamaican, and Native American but we have natural Jewish roots through the Ashkenazim

  • omg! they're all high on ganja... enen the white men!

  • Great piece, except for the commentary at the end.

  • @Profhassan0554 Y IS THERE ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT HAS TO TALK BAD ABOUT JEWS IF ONLY U KNEW THEY ARE THE CHOSEN FOR UNTO HIM HE CAME BUT THEY DID NOT ACCEPT ED HIM THAT IS WHY WE ARE SAVE THANKS GOD FOR THAT BECAUSE IM SAVE NOW BUT THEY ARE STILL HIS PEOPLE GOD LOVES THEM ANYWAY

  • I love it!!

    thank you:)

  • Bom, só faltam as legendas em ingles ou portugues

  • Another outsider idea of what Jamaican Jews are complete bull shit.

  • To clear up a few things here..Jamaican Jews are Sephardic, either Portuguese or Spanish, like in my family. They have been in Jamaica since the late 15th c., when Jamaica was a Spanish colony. On his father's side, the singer Sean Paul Henriques hails from a family of Portuguese Jews.  They were silversmiths. Of course, he is also a mixture of other nationalities who came to the island, but Jamaicans tend to be more nationalist than ethnicist, so his ethnic mixture is a non-issue for us.

  • This could be a page out of my family's history. I grew up listening to bossa nova, ska, rock steady and classical, and my dad used to blast the klezmer from his Telefunken stereo. In Kingston. Our family has been in Jamaica since the early 19th c., and we are multilingual. The constant parsing of who is 3/4 this, or 1/2 that on this page, is very tiresome. At our table in Kingston, it was indeed all just chicken.

  • Brilliant! Our synagogue is made up with people from all different backgrounds including Jamaican. Thanks!

  • can i get a kosher spliff ?

  • @200nikesdeep thats quite witty.

  • @200nikesdeep thats quite witty.

  • The bride looks beautiful in the video

  • If you watch the lopez tonight show, snoop dogg and charles barkely did a dna testing to see what their mix with. Turns out charles barkley was more black then snoop dogg. So you see, just because your skin is light does not mean your mix. That's just how nature is. I'm jamaican and jewish as well as scottish. I'm raise jamaican and jewish culture.And who cares! the point of the video is..... this is a jamaican jewish wedding. I like the video and that's all theses comments should be about?

  • Americans are not obssessed with race. Some may have issues, yes. But if any one had an obessession with race it was Hitler, who felt the need to kill 6 million jews. And in america we have what is it called? ... um freedom of speech.

  • @rockstargirl213 yet many of you don't know how to use that freedom of speech so in many cases it turns into "freedom to hate and stereotype" different races and minorities.

  • @TheCoyote890 try again. nothing I said was hateful. you may want to direct your comment to someone who has the problem. Wrong person dude. have a wonderful day.

  • @rockstargirl213 I didn't say anythings personaly against you. i'm just saying that it seems like American people often use their freedom of speech in the worst way possible.

  • @TheCoyote890 lol thats true

  • the dancing makes it kind of ghetto. Plus the bride is only half jamacan. So yeah lol

  • @Thesikhprincess how do you know she's half jamaican? she is jamaican.

  • @rockstargirl213 she has caucasian facial feautures. Mixed skin color, mixed hair texture, I am mixed myself so yeah I can prettyb much tell a mixed person. She's not full black. so the marriage is techinically only 1/3 jamacain or 25% rather :p

  • @Thesikhprincess West Indian people as we call ourselves don't give a q tip as as to what percentage of what race is anyone. We are east indians, Asians, blacks, Douglas (mixed) but we don't say what race we are we just say wast indian. people like you would die when you see an indian calling a black person aunty/uncle or vice versa. Get rid of your ignorance or at least keep it at your home.

  • I think it's wonderful. I have a Jamaican daughter-in-law who is absolutely wonderful, she is like a daughter to me.

  • @DPLH0 ... A Battybwoy, ona know bout Muslims..shut your bambaclot.

  • The Jamaican Jews are known as the "Really Lost Tribe" or, "De Ganz Farblonget und Verlorren Menschen."

  • A statistic I saw some years ago stated that of the non-Black people who have married into the Black community about 75% are Jewish.....and by the way Farrakhan's father is Jamaican Jewish

  • But the Dark Lord likes it - hail the destructor of worlds - SATAN! :D

    fuck these punks are funny :D

  • you morons. Real or staged? I've seen tons of real weddings where there are multiple cameras, including one on a boom, and professional dancers.....idiots...the woemn are likely not Jamaican or Jewish

  • I also wonder whether it was a real wedding or whether it was staged. I enjoyed how the Jamaicans warmed to the Klezmer music, another great musical tradition as rich as their own Reggae. I didn't like the "dark meat white meat" commets at the end. It seemed coarse and ruined the good feeling for me.

  • Is that a real wedding?

  • Wow!! That was amazing! Jamaican women are really beautiful; they are mixed with Native "American" and other stuff. Sometimes their hairs grows stright like asians, sometimes curly, sometimes lose. The Hebreaic women in the video are pretty too.

  • @Bogusgal What are you talking about? Jamaicans are mixed with many things but least of which is Native American... silly

  • love it......

  • Reggae is so annoying,and clarinets don't help at all! lol

    It get's better when it speeds up.

  • @Uglymik ... to each his own. You must really not enjoy reggae. Sometimes I find Raggae and Israeli music annoying. It seemed more wholesome together. I wonder if you can mix other music together. Well, I am pretty sure. I can already here it in my head.

  • Great, they combine the msot annoying elements of both. If this is what it would look like in real life, I'll send a gift and not attend.

  • What does "red stripe" mean? red stripe with manishevitz wine?

  • @VercingetorixXIII Red Stripe is a Jamaican brand of beer... I enjoyed some last summer while I was there at Beaches resort.

  • Jamaican Red Stripe Beer

    Jamaican Red Label wine

  • this is directed to vanilla cherry choco the name henriques is actually portugues not hispanic. There are many henriques in jamaica most are portugues jewish descent.

  • @abrown7839 thats tru,,jus like sean paul his name is henriqes and his dad side is portuges jew

  • This is directed to Abrown7839: just to let you know that the name "Henriques" is not Jewish, but is Hispanic.

  • that couls still be Jewish, there Are Sephardic Jews (Spanish Jews)

  • Just to let that Henriques is at least also Portuguese. Sephardic Jews of Portuguese descent fled to the "New World" from Spain and Portugals during the inquisition. Some settled in Jamaica. The Henriques family here in Jamaica are Sephardic Jews of the same priestly line as the Jewish family line Cohen. (Cohen is Hebrew for "priest".) Singer Sean Paul (Henriques) is also from that line.

  • really, this is one of the most eclectic, rare and funny things ever seen

  • I dont care what my asshole bitch ass says about this video. it is the most beautiful I have ever seen,,, always will be, I will teach this to my children....

  • This is beautiful humanirty

    '

  • Mark Smeagol you didnt desrve what happened to you, I will forever see you here...

  • jewish people have been in jamaica longer than africans---that;s a fact. It is not unusal to see black people in jamaica with common jewish last names, Cohen,Levy,Epstein,Matalon,Hen­riques etc.

  • Well seeing how many Africans are Jews and were Jewish long before the Europeans I guess there are a lot of Jews in Jamaica

    Beta Israel of Ethiopia, The Lemba of South Africa both proven to be lost tribes of Israel original Jews

    Epstein isn't a Jewish name you'll find many Europeans that aren't Jewish with that name a Jewish name is a name in Hebrew

  • Where are your sources to prove it's a "fact" that Jewish people have been in Jamaica longer than Africans? And which Jews are you were refering to? Because in case you didn't know they aren't a monolithic people

  • Conversos came to Jamaica to evade the Spanish Inquisition before there was slave trade. Source: Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean. It's got plenty of footnotes in case you wish to delve deeper.

  • What a great, fun video! For a minute, it looked like a Jewish "West Side Story", the Jets facing the Sharks. I was glad to see, at the end, the two "gangs" dancing a Hora(?) together. Thanks for posting. "It's all just chicken!" :)

  • Fatastic fusion of ART and culture !!!

  • but I still love this... the lady in red realy cant dance although she thinks she is a threat, the other girls blow her ass awya if we just look at it like people trying to be themselves like they do at the end, what I can never understan to this day is that Jews rose out of the ashes, they lived and survived, then they go on to treat a whole other race of peoples the way hitler treated them, I am on the palestinians side, because I am fair....

  • hey hey hey... no one wants to hear what you've got to say. seriously, go and write in your biased pali magazine or something assuming that magazines are not banned by hamas but dont spoil the mood for this lovely beautiful music, its not even about israel anyways. get a life or just bomb yourself. ja?

  • I love this video too, its so so I have no words, but.... its like a jewish guy directed this and he has the black peopel doing a monkey dance to jewish music,swinging their arms , its beautiful actually but, the jewish one are potrayed to be superior, the lady in red, she is acting like she is the shit,,, Im confused, I know what I see and dont know what to think, if its all just chicken then why????

  • Im so confused, a beautiful video bu they have the black people acating like monkeys, is that what they thing of them?

  • The blacks and the others are dancing fine. What are you talking about!!

  • @VercingetorixXIII You are right, that is exactly what they think. If you research this further, you will realize why so many blacks have their last names. We were owned by them. Research it, and our history is a lie. We have been lied to as a race.

  • "Red Stripe with Manischewitz wine," ha ha ha!

    Really good, I loved this.

  • I don't get it.

  • love it!!!! great music

  • this is so so good i love it everything about it no one can say a ting. i would love to have the tune

  • I love ITTTTTTTTT!!

    OTTAWA, CANADA

  • Im Puertorican Jew!

    Thanks for posting this vid, love it and the music.

    After all some like white meat some like dark meat, but at my table its all chicken.

    Shalom

  • I love it!

    Thank You

  • I love it. Great music. Fun choreography.  Nicely portrais the two cultures. Would like to see more like this.

  • cute

  • The thing about music videos is... if you stop watching, how does it sound??? A problem for me.

  • it is so ignorant to put ""jamaican" and "jew" in a separate category... one is nationality and one is religion. i am a jamaican jew (and did not convert)... and there are many of us in the world, so y are ppl stil so clueless?? race and nationality have nothing to do with it!!!

  • I don't think the person meant it as a nationality-religion separation but rather as the clashing of two cultures.

    Jamaica in itself is rich with culture (customs). Jews also have their own culture separate and apart from being Jamaican.

    Being Jewish is not merely a religion though but it's also a people - or else the children of a Jewish woman would not be Jewish but they are considered to be.

    (I am Jamaican and many in my family 'were' Jewish before converting to Christianity).

  • actually, you are not correct. Judaism is a religion, period. There are subcultures to it because Jews have lived just about everywhere in the world.

    Moroccan Jews have different taste buds than Americans, British Jews don't follow baseball, etc. But there is one thing in common- the practice of the religion. Keeping the Sabbath, kosher, etc.

  • Hey, Is that Mark Smeaton from the TUdors Season 3 playing the violin?

  • and what really cracks me up is at the end of the video, everyone is dancing like jews..... I still like the video especially the music... its just the little things I notice each time I come back here... Lets do a Jewish Jamaican wedding and have all the Jews dancing and acting like Jamaicans at the end huh????

  • I was waiting for the black father and the jewish father to have a breakdance contest with each other, now that would have been hilarious...

  • What cracks me up is the director has the black people dancing like monkeys and the jews dancing like they can dance..... when all they do is swing each other around...strange inbalance here....

  • My last post was a reply to realrasmckhaile below.

  • I actually was in a Jamaican-Jewish wedding...very interesting I must say! But I also have a Jamaican background with a Jewish last name. One thing I can say about Jamaica is they accpect and love all cultures. ONE LOVE!

  • Yah...have you been to a Jamaican Chinese-Jewish wedding......,,awesome!!!

  • LOL, That must have been just as interesting!

  • snap i was gonna say the same as you i have a jewish background also with jewish sirname

  • the black people looking like what the hell he saying lol

  • Oh: here come the haters and their lies again! I've got type O blood, moron, an AFRICAN blood type--not A or other European blood type. Tells more about my ancestry that your political dogmatic racist crap assumptions. Jews come from every race and people. I live in poverty--economically, but I'm spiritually a very wealthy man. My 100% Jewish friends: Indian, African, Chinese, European, Turkish origins. Read a book, and grow up!

  • @Insane

    Comparisons of cranial indices,blood types,etc.,show a great similarity between proselyte jews and their host-nation than between proselyte jews living in different countries.With regard to blood type,jewish groups show considerable differences among themselves and marked similarities to the Gentile environment.The Hirszfeld "biochemical index"

    (A+AB)

    (B+AB)

  • @Insane

    The findings of physical anthropology show that, contrary to popular view, there is no jewish race. Anthropometric measurements of jewish groups in many parts of the world indicates they differ greatly from one another with respect to physical characteristics - stature, weight, skin colour, cephalic index, facial index, blood groups, etc

  • Phony anthropological references don't make you any smarter--they just show how far you'll go to spout your racist garbage. Jews are an ethnic group, of many races: a clan with a varied ethnic component, but a SPIRITUAL race. We accept each other, and don't need your acceptance, validation or pseudo-analytics

  • @Insane

    Your jargon in your talmud mandates an indiscriminate hatred towards anything or anyone non-'jewish'.Isreal is an apartheid state that even supported South Africa during its apartheid era.Talmudism and talmudist are the most racist cretins on the face of ths earth.Spare me your bullshit!

  • You are absolutely correct on this. Judiasm started in the city of Ur. White Europeans took it on much later. I have no hatred for Jews, but some of the misconceptions about the true origins and people would put the superiority to rest.

  • This is an awesome video about coming together, you sick racist prick. Go kill yourself--quickly

  • Last I read, genetic scientists determined there's no such thing as race at all. Differences too superficial. But there are strong genetic similarities within some communities, as you'd expect. Anyway, points toward some crazy idea among Israelites and some Jamaicans that black people are in fact Jews, and Jews are Ha Satan. Descendence and race are two separate issues. You can be Jewish and any color. All depends on where your ancestors moved.

  • Why can't we just watch a video without hearing about race? Americans are so obsessed with race.

  • @mizzday1 - actually, most americans who\ are about race are themselves black. i had a black girlfriend who herself said that the reason that people still don't get along is that there are so many people, like al sharpton and people like him, that would lose their positions of prominence without stirring the pot and keeping mistrust alive. if whites and native can get past it, there is no reason why blacks and whites can't. how do i know? i am half white and half native.

  • @mizzday1 - and btw, my white half is jewish

  • @mizzday1 i know its sad isnt it. For a melting pot we see only differences

  • You are right! Biologically there is no such thing as race, race is a social construct and the original practitioners of Judaism were Hebrews. Hebrews, in the social racial sense, were blacks. Judaism is a religion, not a race and the people who practice it are call Jews or Jewish. In the same way those who practices Christianity are called Christians

  • Please note that I do not agree with you that Jews are Satan. That is very wrong of you to say. Anyone can be satan or a devil depending on their practices, that includes some christians, blacks and whites. Change your concept. God bless

  • @Insane

    The crucial point in the anthropology of the Khazar jews is that they are a sect composed of racial elements acquired by proselytism and intermarriage during their migration in various parts of the world.

  • @Insane

    Have you read a book lately you should!

  • Yeah, I see the one book that you've read--the invented racist theories derived from a half-comprehension Koestler's "Thirteenth Tribe." I'll bet that you think "The Protocols" are real too, don't you?

  • (it would be nice to have such a tolerant family) Great vid!:)... but I still think polish weddings are the best;)

  • nice clip!

  • What language is this germanic or jewish

  • You must be the dumbest cunt on earth. Jewish isn't a language. It's a religion. And the language was Yiddish.

  • @Arsenal123456123 Jewish is an ethnic group, Judaism is the religion practice by some Jews. Many Jewish people are Christians, many follow the Catholic branch of Christianity. Confusion keeps people in the dark.

  • @mikuruasahinarunrun jewish is not a etnic group. those white jewish people calling themselves jews are not even real jews. they are khazars that converted to judaism

  • yiddish is an old language of eastern european jews. we have alot of yiddish sayings in english too

  • Loved it!

  • This is truly beyond the pale. It is so very Jewish, so much in the spirit of acceptance and joy

  • mashallah.........

  • the jews that are in Jamaica are mostly from Europe English,Dutch,Spainish,Portuge­use,German, and the middle east Syria,Lebanon

  • Not true. ALL Jamaicans have a Jewish bloodline. Checkout the story of Jews who helped Jamaicans! Also, many temples exist there..............

  • hot

  • acceptance, that is all jewish people want.

  • this is beautiful

  • lol...the look on the little girls face at 2:32 seeing the white guy dance

  • Aww I <3 this MashAllah ....yeah I had a mixed wedding so its gr8 to see races mix in peace !

  • This actually made me tear up. You don't really see ratial unity like this in the real world. wish it happened more often

  • What world do you live in SaturnAssenav? I see this all the time.

  • One of the most influencial jamaicain jewish person is Chris Blackwell---the man who owned Island Records and brought to the world Bob Marley, Millie,U2,Steve Winwood just to name a few

  • there are thousands of jamaicans with jewish ancestry. Why do you think that Reggae singers sing about zion,babylon and some groups even call themselves israel vibrations!!! Jamaica is a fascinating island full of different ethinic groups but all united under one flag. It amazes me just how small the island is yet has influenced the world in so many different ways. I was even shocked to find out that the Prime Minister has a jewish name--Golding.

  • Well said.

  • lol ur only saying the last name is jewish because it has gold in it (thats racist) jk

  • NO!!!!!!!!!!! I have so much SELF-HATRED. Mum converted. so I was technically born one of those!

  • @abrown7839 That is because Jews OWNED many slaves. When the reggae singer sings those songs most of them are referring to black jews as the blacks where the real Jews until..........look it up .......Black people need to learn their own history and not the history that other people tell them. AS Bob Marley said "half the story has never been told" and he is right.

  • At my shabbos table its all just chicken.

    Shabbat Shalom

  • hahahahaa...I still cant beleev is a big woman me a talk to...hahahahaha...gyal traits or none it nah bodda nobody....any ways Im fru waistin time wit U....this was a nice wedding and an entertainig video, I hope to c more like it

  • Oi vey, enough already wid de kvetchin n fussin.

  • wow...200 Jews...No matter how far out of my parish I went what is the probability that I'm gonna meet 1 Jew? The odds are 200:3000,000... U still have no point....U sound like U take offense still so drop it...We all are Jews ok? If U could read, U would have noticed I previously stated that there are Jews here, I just don't think its that much that we all got some Jew in us!! I also said I have never met any...that is MY experience! not that they aren't any here!!

  • That's BLACK Jamaicans that are claiming that they are Jewish descendants. Real Jews are abundant in the Island, just go to Shabbat services love Friday night okay and you will see how FULL the temple is. Also, that is not the only temple in the island dear.

  • what is wrong with U don't U have a business to run or kids to take care of...how much time am I going to declare that what I stated was based off my experiences and opinions...why is it so important for U to prove to me this? and no matter how much Jews are here, no matter what U tell the fact that I have never met one is still not gonna change and that was my original point form morning!

  • Typical.....Mind your own pickney dem and find some business of your own.

  • U c who is being typical? hahahahahahaha...U totally missed my point...as U did with all my other comments...I tried so hard to be nice to U...and btw I am already doing what needs to be done at home (and I already have businesses of my own (know Ur facts)...) apparently Ur husband isnt or else U wouldnt be here acting the way U r!hahahahaha

  • Maybe so, but you have gal traits and mind your pickney dem no jackets.
