[bellaladystorm]

We pray towards the EAst and its in Torah, read your Word and understand Judaism as David prayed we pray.. Read Ezekiel and see how the elders pray towards the EAST... come on now..

[bigmackkid]

.....y dont u just move to the other room w/ the tv lol it looked like there was a curtain

[ArBiTeR0000Tactical]

Matisyahu don't lose that brilliant mind that writes.

Let your music be our kite, let it fly high!

You have set free the many, it didnt cost a penny.

I know its true, you know its true too

Don't let money or fame influence your music too

Your first songs are like a fine wine, get better in time

Lets taste that purity of that fine wine

You will be blessed in time!!

God Bless!

[IronLion27]

The face looks like John Belushi. lol

[BillKillIll]

[300daysandnights]

@IronLion27 I'm pretty sure its john Belushi

[BumpyPickles]

Just flippin pray already!

[wairawaira]

How did matisyahu call the guy from the picture??

[cysinger]

"but hes off blessed memmory.... so's yushka....

[RadicalMonotheist]

Thank you Matis for being a kiddush Hashem...a sanctification of G-ds name! You rock dude....

[PublicICON]

Culture, traditions, and religions has so many rules and laws

[rimbaud1020]

This is hilarious! You know, usually you see artists on the road haveing a hard time finding drugs, not praying. I have a similar problem, my wife insists on haveing a painting of cats on our wall and I have to remove it everyday. Women! What do you do?

[Conail23]

well Im a Christian and I dont pray to any image or statues either, not even an image of Jesus.

[Pinkindian1]

@Conail23 That's extremely good!

[jaigurudevaummm]

this is histaricle i love it!

[romanerdstrom]

He wasn't making fun of Christians, he was merely jokingly refuting the "It should be OK to pray in front of his image because he's dead" logic.

[ruvyruv]

hilarious kiddush H'

[kosherpickle]

lighten up... if anything we joke about ourselves best. hahaha

[0001kd]

"just turn the couch around"

[idleofwight]

Does it even matter?

[smartchikchick]

that's actually a good question you asked... until you brought up the fact there was a curtain in the room.

[Yatzliach]

"No Matter where i am bless me with all your light"

My god, whom of wich is Jehovah. Dous not care if there is a face on the wall... or even somthing on the wall cursing his name. (Atleast im sure)

[Yatzliach]

i want his bears

[Yatzliach]

beard*

[kirkoverstreet]

Just pray. It doesn't matter where your at. It's not what you face. It's who are you praying too. Think of Jonah or Daniel. Did they have an ideal place to pray. Jonah in a stomach and Daniel facing a bunch of lions.

Love your love for God and making sure your doing everything right in His eyes. Keep that reverance for the Holy God.

[300daysandnights]

@kirkoverstreet i don't remember the bible saying anything about praying facing towards Jerusalem. shouldn't it be who you pray to and not where you pray to? if your jewish please educate me on this matter.

[willmanjaramillo]

ma bad,the rabbi already answered...

[willmanjaramillo]

does this law only apply to pictures or statues too?

[HP2009]

Anything that can look like an idol. Pictures, statues, a mirror(praying to yourself), etc...

[willmanjaramillo]

thank you!!!

[HP2009]

No problem..I hope that helps anyone else also.

[hiskashrus]

Ahahaha "so is yoshke!"

[thecelticfury]

Isn't that a picture of Jim Belushi as Wild Bill Kelso from the movie 1941!

[CanadianSoldier]

haha i love this Shalom matisyahu!

[xlamentx]

It's not a criticism. Everybody can and should worship how they want to. When worshiping God, He knows and sees your heart, and if rules get in the way, it sort of hampers having a real relationship with Him. It's just my perspective of things, it's not meant to be a criticism of how others worship. That's what I was trying to get at.

[4eva2cool]

-_-

[FeivelJay770]

where in the world did you get anything Amish from my comment?

[xlamentx]

Just worship God with a pure heart. This is taking worship to ridiculous heights.

[xlamentx]

Just worship God with a pure heart. This is taking worship to ridiculous heights.

[4eva2cool]

i totally agree

[generationsackcloth]

This sounds like corny christianese.

[generationsackcloth]

I was replying to xlamentx, strange...

[xlamentx]

Not as corny as your comment or this video. If you can understand this saying "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" and accept it, then it just might make sense to you.

[generationsackcloth]

You're convicted xlamentx because I saw right through your corny christianese, like I said. And the quote from the christian book proves such. You're on track toward t'shuvah by remembering Shabbat. But sunday is when you attend church. feel free to listen to the music, but to slander one of your saintly idols is hypocritical and typical of born again mormons and orthodox armenians.

[DavidChavez]

xlamentx may have quoted from the NT but, from what I understand, the same concept is also found in Talmud ...

Rabbi Jonathan ben Joseph said: For it is holy unto you; I.e., it [Shabbat] is committed to your hands, not you to its hands. - Talmud: Yoma 85b

[xlamentx]

Sounds about right.

[generationsackcloth]

Torah of 1st mention.

[xlamentx]

What kind of slander are you talking about? Are you dreaming once again in your delusional brain-washed world? I don't think there are such people called "born-again" Mormons. That's mostly reserved for those who consider themselves Evangelical, and I am not either. I have never heard of Orthodox Armenians slandering any of their saints. I have never heard of any Orthodox do it, unless your personal mind-control propaganda teaches you so. Lay off the kool-aid, you'll be OK.

[generationsackcloth]

"What kind of slander are you talking about?" To quote whoever you are xlamentx: "Not as corny as this video". the "born again mormon" and "armenian" are your friends, from the looks of your channel xlamentx. just admit it: you're a christian. possibly orthodox christian. and "hardcore".

I guess christianese isn't corny to you then, xlamentx.

[xlamentx]

Wow man, you want to pin me down by my so-called "friends"? I don't even know these guys. They requested to add me. I didn't go out looking for them. I think the guy under "born-again mormon" is an evangelical trying to convert mormons, which is far from me. If you feel that you can profile a person based on some fake friends he has online, then you're just plain stupid and ignorant. And it doesn't take a genius to figure out from my quotes that I'm Orthodox. Congratulations, Sherlock.

[Yatzliach]

if you are a christian... i am to. And we do not believe in being condescending... as you were being.

[xlamentx]

I wasn't being condescending, read what I wrote again.

[xlamentx]

Here is more corniness food for your brain:

"Do you wish God to hear your prayer immediately, brother?" asks Abba Zenon. "When you lift your hands up to heaven, pray first of all, with your heart, for your enemies and God will grant you speedily whatever else you request."

· Teaching of the Desert Fathers ·

[generationsackcloth]

Exactly what your corny christianese is

xlamentx: psychic, mind-control propaganda.

[IxH4v3xN0xLif3]

matisyahu seems like he would be a cool guy to chill with

[fritz300]

who's got a rabbi on speed dial? lol.

[PhunkyNikita]

The person in the white hat who kept trying to call a Rabbi is Detroit/Cleveland underground rapper, RAZER. I didn't know he was Jewish! Ha!

[FeivelJay770]

I like how he told the rabbi on the phone they're blogging this and he probably had no idea what in the world that even means lol

[Billabong102000]

Hilarious!!! LOL

Why didn't you use the curtains by tucking it into the ceiling tile? ROFL

:D You're very funny guy... Love your work :)

[generationsackcloth]

Fascinating vidyo actually, todah. The collective face of East Asian Ninjewry facing West would be much more honorable. At least we'd have a veil covering us like Sh'Khinat.

On a timely related note, Kever Yosef, whose exterior was painted green, makes davening-shokeling in Shechem and its navigational extension even more of a challenge, doesn't it. Greater kavannah is a martial artform.

You'd think the house of blues décor would be painted blue. Galut sure is strange. Midwest to Mideast!

[Physischitzo]

Haha, the perils of Jewish prayer...

I hope for much Hanukah blogging =D

[bullzeye40]

funny stuff but i would think the Lord knows you're praying to him

[batgirl1977]

LOL!!! That was great! Amazing! Can't wait to see the next one!

[btlzfan]

Hehe, this is amazing :]]

[buddhaglow]

Did you become frum to be so primitive and superstitous? I like your music but this is dumb....davening with Belushi as your Mizrach would have made you cool. You lost an opportunity to be a cool frum Jew.

[hebrewhammershabbat]

What are you talking about? prayer is not some joke to be cool

[buddhaglow]

ya, obviously - it's for the the taking themselves to seriously crowd. are you saying that Ha Shem lacks a sense of humour?
