  • To hear her voice is to hear angels singing praise to God in the heavens; we get a glimpse of the heavens when she sings. I imagine she could stop wars with this voice.

  • If she were living at the time the passion of the christ was filmed, she would have made an excellent background vocalist.

  • rest in peace Ofra!!! omg i don´´t will war!!!wake up !!!!!!!!

  • Okay... in tears... so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this!!

    Ofra Haza is "Heaven's Purest Voice."

  • omg i will murder the people who disliked this

  • peace for jerusalem......

  • why can i not listen to this on my cell phone anymore :(

  • was some of this in passion of the Christ?

  • @princessazula777 Very similar sounding music but no Ofra sadly had passed away prior to the Passion of the Christ was being produced and it was not used.

  • @Apophis150 man i could of sworn i heard this in the gethsemene scene or something. thanks!

  • @princessazula777 Actually what you're looking for is this song "The Olive Garden/ Night Sky (Medley)" That was what was playing during that scene :)

  • Thank you for sharing your Jewel with Us. I am only sorry that I have never heard of her until now. From what I have read she died of a most devastating illness & was never properly given acknowledgment of her gift of song to the World. Another Gifted Candle in the Night snuffed out Way too Soon. I hope it is of some Reassurance you know that the Lord & Lady have her in their personal care & she will be remembered because of your Love & Sharing of her Here. ~*Brightest Blessings*~

  • most people want to protect ther families,lives livelihood.do you expect them to love all that has been done to them?anyway all people are not corrupt or inhuman. read yosef tzuriel or naiem giladi

  • FANTASTIC video! So glad these two powerful voices got to work together (however little or much they actually did)!

    PS: Wasn't the intro used in a movie or something?

  • beautiful... thanks, libby...

  • Taqiyeh has destroyed any chances for peace, khas ve'khalillah. May it not be too late for redemption of our people so we can defeat it.  AMEIN.

  • Jew, Christian, and Muslim - Abraham is father to us all.

  • beautiful video and music.

    tomeriko, thanks for keeping HER MEMORY.

    we still need her)

  • This is just beautiful, never heard it before...reminds a bit of DeadCanDance!

  • She died from multiple organ failure due to complications with AIDS. She kept her diagnosis from the public. It is believed that she contracted HIV from her husband. The living world lost a true treasure. God called her home. I am HIV positive and she gives me strength as I fight this disease. God bless you Ofra and thank you for comforting me through these difficult days. I hope to meet you and thank you when God calls me home.... but not yet love! I am winning the fight!

  • @Bamabrat96 Wow, now I know why her illness seemed so vague. So sad. Her own husband destroyed her and silenced her voice for all Israel. Really sad.

  • @Bamabrat96 may you always win the fight, u made me smile with these words.

  • @Bamabrat96 Please keep up the fight Bama! In the early 80tys when HIV first hit, I lost my roomate and several friends to AIDS. However today, things are very different.. So different that I believe a full cure is in sight. The day will come Bama when you are no longer ill. Believe it, ok? Many blessings and love to you and may this reply find you feeling well and happy. Also, please remember, you are never, ever alone. C. Wolfe

  • @Bamabrat96 may we all who fight this disease someday have a joyful meeting.

  • Beautiful. Thank you.

  • what? she died? what happened???!!!

  • Amen.

  • fantastic

  • Ángel, Ofra Haza

  • I wish she was alive, but now she's where her celestial voice fits the best - in heaven!

  • love u ofra Shalome from Baku.

  • The both singers from the land of Extremism, fundamentalism,fanaticism,,,,w­hat a gr8 Grand Combin.

  • Missing her * ~ love * ~

  • Very well done , it is memorable , so stricking !

  • I think I want this played on my passing. I have always loved Ofra's indescribable voice and have admired Nusrat Ali Fateh Khan's music/qawwali. Thank you so much for posting this gem!!

  • peace to all mankind ...thats not one small step for mankind but one giant leep for us all.....shalom......

  • Omg <3

  • Very cool song. And most importantly for seeing the power of culture. Israel and Pakistan together through art. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan from my city (Faisalabad) and from my home country Pakistan sung with nightingale like sound of Ofra Haza. May love flourish only in our world. '' Let us conquer the world through the power of culture rather than culture of power''

  • Psalm 23:4 Though I walk in the gorge of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You (HaShem) are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

    Ofra was one special lady. G-d bless all who turn to Him while in the "gorge of the shadow of death" in order to do His will just like King David. Let G-d's rod ( of correction) and staff of leadership be your comfort.

  • @mepmug01 ~Thank you so much our dear friend Mannes for this Beautiful Share.

    Without "forgiveness" there can be no love, no friendship.

    Forgiveness is as much about friendship as it is about Love.

    None of us are "perfect" as human beings & sometimes we hurt people we care about most without intention.

    Anyone asking for forgiveness is an even stronger person then those doing the forgiving..both go along with friendship & love @ some point in time.

    Video & Music..Inspiring

    Love

  • S*U*B*L*I*M*E*!

  • hebrew is an offshoot of canaanite language.yes all the people are blood relatives.that is why arabic and other arab dialects understand many hebrew woods.no one is superior over anyone else.if you think you are,it is in your mind.

  • قد يكون هناك سلام بين الشعوب الإسلامية واليهودية، والمسيحية في العالم.

    יהי שלום בין המוסלמים, היהודים, ואת העם הנוצרית של העולם.

    translation;

    May there be peace between the Muslim, Jewish, and the Christian people of the world.

  • @ThePraetoriansGuard ......Y a pas de peut etre mon ami....la PAIX est une exigence de ces peuples, les enfants d Abraham '(Ibrahim)....Les hommes qui ont besoin d une paix immediate sont les plus nomreux ils sont la majorités silencieuse dans tous les pays.....PAIX ET JOIE POUR TOUS

  • @ThePraetoriansGuard ...and those of other beliefs!

  • Que haja paz entre os povos muçulmanos, judeus e os cristãos do mundo.....

  • @ThePraetoriansGuard Indeed this war has lasted for too long it has to end now

  • Yes, this is my original video..thanks for your compliment

  • @tomeriko Really love your video. The first minute reminds me of being born :D

  • i was listening to this album while i did my most important art work this semester.

  • kool video.oafra was not about converting anyone.just living together.like family.you people are lost.

  • @talchapoton2411 You are right. There is no directive in Judaism to convert the world to Judaism, just to convert the world to G-d's 7 Laws of common decency so that we can all live together in peace. Only Jews need to practice Judaism as a Nation of Priests for the Children of Noah.

  • Thanks man, your are talking wisely! I just want ot point out that "Allah" sounds very similar to hebrew "Eloah", "Quaran" to Hbr "Karan"(reading scriptures), Moses - Musa, Isa-Jesus, Hava-Eve, Salamon - Suleiman, Engill - Evangelic, and so on...your religion is clearly taken from hebrew, with lots of changes, made by Muhhamed, because he didn`t understand all that rabbis were talking!

  • Thanks man, your are talking wisely!

  • @SpykySoul The similarities come from the fact that the two are semitic languages and therefore closely related as for example russian and polish so this is not limited to religious terminology but there are a lot of similar words and a lot of similar grammatical rules etc.

  • I completely agree with you, but in the Koran they have messed all up, it is a remix of Torah, with lots of "novelties" and contradictions, but they`re forbidden to discuss, because of fact that they are.

  • G*d always chooses interesting ways to minister to his saints. The heart always knows when it's master is nearby.

  • Beautiful. ONE God. Many Prophets.

  • in one word : wow !

    r.i.p ofra..

  • ONE God, ONE people, ONE planet, ONE future...

  • btw, i am not a jew, and i believe that there is only one God, but different religions are calling Him different names. If there is one creator, so it could not be more of them. He made us all. Problem is in people. I hjave only few real friends. One of them is muslim, one catholic, one jew and one orthodox, (funny). And in history lot of bad things is made by catholics, muslims, orthodox and jews. there are only good and bad people. believe to yourself not politics

  • Do you know something except hate? If you are real muslim how can you speak about hell? Your hate will make hell on earth. I' m sure that God Alah Jahwe Odin Shiva Buddha won' t have people like you close to them. Hate and all kind of rasism, religious hate and nationalism will destroy world.

  • @tihomir7 i know all ,,and hate its also common for all human beeins,,i dont known who u are ,,and what is ur religion,but i think jew,,but i lived ther eand u???and i saw all by my eyes,,if now never was telling anything,,as i always tell just after i know exactly

  • @amira7almas for you it,s a big shame that,s not alloud for a woman to be a imam,you shoot be one of the best to proclaim hate over whoever is not on your side. ukrainien bitch get under your rock and leave internet...........get some exorcism you demon hatefuck.........

  • @MrHannah9 oh ALLAH,,,what the stupid ppl possible meet here,,,what u are telling now will come to u withso big %,,any way,,i dont need here under this stupid video to discuss about the onlu truth Islam. and shame on u!!!!and all like u are,,,as in europe Islam is growing so quickly.(i tell of people who converted about ukraine--its free country never occupieany one,,but to whom i tell all that,,man who tell such words to woman,,already not a man,,,so haram alek,,and may ALLAH judge u

  • This transcends ethereal beauty totally, its just so sublime, love this so much, i dont care what it means, it sounds divine =o)

  • can somebody translate it for me?

    i like the music etc very much but like to know the text. please.

  • I am a Sephardic Jew/Hispanic and my children are Sephardic and Askkenazi... the blood of Yahweh flows in us for we are His children. If we are His children there is no room for resentment or unforgiveness Torah teaches us to forgive those that have trespass against us. Forgiveness is typically defined as the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, and/or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution.

  • Those who are opposed to peace, are opposed to G*D

  • trippy images

  • This is heavenly! how an angelic choir most sound. I don't understand the lyrics, but her voice and the music are magical! Can you think of something different than love?

  • I really miss Ofra.

  • Her voice is really wonderful!

    I love her songs

  • Wow, thiss song is MAGICAL!!! Both Ofra's and Nursat's voices are beautiful. This song makes me fly.

  • I dont think you are the right people to talk about forgiveness, Jewish people are the last who just think about forgiveness

  • @0566668121 what are you saying? I Am A Jew And IM ALL about Forgiveness , who are you talking about, the Spirit Of JEws Or the flesh?

  • @0566668121 ur stupid

  • @clarinetstar14 You are a poor sould. I petty for you.

    So... for people like you I say may G'd forgive their stupidity and hatred way

  • @0566668121 All people know about forgiveniss, there is no difference between groups, ethnics culture or religion.

    we have 2 eyes to see, 2 ears to hear, 1 mounth to be silent,

    and than.. We die..

    So let Love guide you, not the hatred of sjaitaan ( ha-Satan, Satan etc.)

  • @boxdown why did you say that?

  • Thank you, you will always inspire me!Luv u 4 ever Ofra!

  • Przepiękne wideo , przepiękny śpiew ..pozostawiam *****5 i pozdrawiam serdecznie.

  • I wonder if she forgave her husband for what he did to her.

  • waou ...

  • Beautiful, especially the chorus and orchestral movements.

  • That Nusrat guy completely ruins this song.

  • she is also singing for you.

  • what was she speak about me?

  • Years ago I sent Ms Haza an email with just a few questions included. To my HUGE surprise she replied back. Little did I know that her passing would soon follow and leave the world in perpetual mourning.

  • What did you ask? What did she say?

  • I simply told her how much I enjoyed her music, complimented her wonderful voice, and asked when she would be coming back to USA. Her reply was gracious and that she had no plans at that time for another visit to USA. What a huge loss to the world with her passing.

  • Wow, if that's true, then you're incredibly lucky!!!

  • Most artists have assistants that handle these kind of things, so I always thought that it may have been someone on her support staff rather than Ofra herself. I only wish that I had saved the email.

  • Such a beautiful song. It's a shame we lost her.

  • Loved her back in the 80's and still dooo such a loss

  • LOVE OFRA , BLESS HER SOUL, LOVE OFRA

  • It's such a beautiful video.. I like the music very much.. but the pictures complete it. Thank you.

  • I can never understand how such peaceful music can inspire so much drama in these posts...

  • Nor can I..... incredibly hatred, anger & fear (the three demons) are thought of before Love...... life is short enough as it is.... just listen to the music..... very healing

  • @mikado415

    Golda Meir said: When they will love their children more than they hate us, there will be peace.

    This is one explanation.

  • Well said my friend.

  • @herzl67 me be because isreal kill our child ?!!

  • No she wasn't. Sheba was chocolate and dark brown. Why do you think the attraction was so great! The Indo-Europeans, Indo-Aryans, and Indo-Iranians lead a 1000+ invasions on the peaceful peoples of color in Egypt, Mediterreans, Babylonian, etc. areas insinuating themselves trying to assimilate and become our rulers. They did under very harsh rule. The Hewbrews, Levites, Romans, Iranians (whites) started that caste crap trying to justify their heinous acts upon the blacks. But they're falling.

  • Her voice!!! ahhhhhh Her voice!!! just like an angel!!! I love Ofra Haza i wish she was still be alive to meet her :(

  • @Natalio07 Let's hope that we can meet her in Heaven. I too wish I had been able to meet her. :( RIP Ofra Haza!!

  • piekne

  • Piękna piosenka.Pozostawiam *****5 i pozdrawiam:):):)

  • you're right Marknorthway,

    listen to this specian song!

    Do you think it is really matters if you are Ashkenazi, Sephardi, or Mizrahi ???

    "There is no time to hate, only to Love!"

  • Hey - guys....calm down! How about some comment on the music and video.

  • There's no doubt genetics shed a lot of light on the subject of who your ancestors were and where they are from. But as interesting as it is, it makes me worried that it allows us to rank who is most Jewish, because this can cause alot of strife and upset in the community.

  • The ONLY people who have to worry about NOT being Jewish from genetics is the Ethiopians. Genetics just proved what we already knew that they are liars and just wanted to get into Israel to take advantage of the generous welfare state.

  • Soulsearching...when hearing this song/tune

  • Wonderfull

    Viva Ofra for ever Daughter of Arab-Jewisch.

  • what a stupidity! she was Jewish and Israeli; not a daughter of Jewish-Arab. Judaism is a religious, not a nationality!!! Her parents were born in Yaman; so what? they were Jewish, not arabs!!

  • if judaism is a religion and jewish is a follower of that religion, what does it make for arabs then ? are arab rleigion is arabism ? you're the dumbass.... Yemeni jews and iraqi jews are much as arabic as the Muslim and christian arabs are in terms of dance, food, custom, language... being Jewish is an etno-religious identity. Being an arab is an ethno-linguitsic identity. It has nothing to do with being descended from ismail or Issac or Esau etc.

  • shoshanthe1

    the song name is forgivness so u should be peacefull

    she was arab jew

    also whats arab and whats jew same shit race who brought crazy shity children who cant live with out fighting

    proto semitic langauge ancestor of all semitics homeland is arabia

  • if judaism is a religion and not a nationality... even more proof that she was an "arab" from yemen whose family happened to practice the religion of judaism. this is even more evident by the way she sings in the arab yemeni style. there is nothing wrong with being an arab...

  • I dont happen to know the singer's actual roots but Israelis are quite touchy when you suggest that they are not ethincally the decendants of actual Hebrews. There is no reason to believe that Yemenite Jews are any less likely to be decendents from Jewish immgrants.

  • I agree w/ you that israelis are toucy indeed. but i don't understand your last comment that ofra was decendaned from jewish immigrants, jewish immigrants from where? the thing about israel and their heritage is that they are a multi-racial/ethnic society parading around like they aren't. This brings room for a lot of racism. So there are Jews from the east which may be Arab in ethnicity Jews from Africa who are black, and Jews from Europe which are white.

  • Because, from what I have read - there is good evidence that modern Jews, black, white or olive all or mostly have actual hebrew ancestors!! For instance Ashkenazim are genetcally closely related to Kurds (an area where ancient Israelites were deported to by the Assyrians), there is such a thing as the Cohen Y chromosome for the priestly caste found among modern Jews and also some african jews have semitic genes!! In other words they're mixed certanly but also the descendants of ancient Hebrews.

  • yeah the only thing i have to say that is that i think it is a shame that people who practice judaism always have to make the claim that they came from the ancient hebrews... i know a lot of blue eyed blonde eyed ameri-jews and israelis who even have trouble saying they are "descendants" because in reality many of them are just plainly european in origin but converted.

  • Wow! You know who also called the blacks "monkeys" ? The Nazis! With such ideological similarites perhaps you should consider enlisting! I'm sure your European Jewish ancestors would be so proud to see that you have the same racist ideas as their opressors! Horaay!

  • Listen I am Jewish women and I got so angry when I read your racist comments about blacks I had to sign up for an account just 2 comment. As someone whose grandparents were killed by the Nazis I find it repulsive when people like you who CLAIM to be Jews say such complete racist filth. Under the Nazis we were called animals too! I dont think your Jewish at all. And if you are you are a shame to Jewish people everywhere and of all COLORS!

  • Shepard- khazar-hyksos, mamluke, tamahu, typhonian, scythian- caucaians.

    Semite mean African-Asiatic languages- spread you progproganda somewhere else.

  • Semitic languages originate from the Arabian Peninsula just like Semitic people you monkey!

  • Google

    OLEG POLOVSKI

  • The name of Ham, given by the Hebrews to the progenitor of the Egyptian people, as it signifies adust, shows that their complexion struck their Asiatic neighbours as darker than their own. Herodotus, speaking of

    the Colchians\ indirectly informs us that the

    Egyptians had curling hair and black complexions.

    ANCIENT EGYPT UNDER THE PHARAOHS.

  • The tribes who live to the north of these are Arabs of more recent immigration, but

    probably the successors of others of the same origin. According to the Greek geographers*, the coast from the Gulf of Suez to Berenice was inhabited by the TROGLODYTES, a nomadic people, who, as their name indicates, made their dwellings in the excavated rock.

    page 65- Ancient Egypt under the Pharaohs

  • The vast majority of Ancient Egyptian mummies have Caucasian dental structure, Caucasian hair type, Caucasian physical features, and Caucasian DNA.

    Ancient Israelites upon discussing people from south of Egypt often times used derogatory words for black people.

  • to native european from mediterranean:

    Caucasian dental structure? You WHITE DEVILS are reaching deep inside the DEVILS PLAYBOOK!!! CHIEK ANTE DIOP did melanin test on a number of MUMMIES and guess what he found......MELANIN!!!! WHITE DEVILS do not have MELANIN!!!! Blacks have melanin!!! I got tons of AMMO!! I will gladly BLAST your ASS back into the CAVES that U come from!!!!!!!

  • Menes the first ruler of the 1st Dynasty was from Nubia... Try again, HKYSHUS.

  • yet there are others who want to make the claim that they are "semetic" in origin" when they are really European but to lay greater claim to the land of israel they try to play the I am real semite! game.

    I believe all this talk even the scientific talk of hebrew descendants is racist and tries to further racialize the state of israel.

  • Just as the nazis based their genetic findings on the uniqueness of the aryan race and genes as legitimizing their state the israelis are eerily doing a very similar thing. I am a black american of jewish ethiopian descent I family in israel and we strongly disagree to people saying we are semetic were not. we are African. although we have practiced the religion doesnt mean we are apart of some genetic race of humans, and I think this applies even more so to those of european jewish desc

  • Well as you are a Falaisha I respect your view. I dont know whether it is valid or not but a geneticist could tell - the research has been published to be tested and there apparently is some basis to their Hebrew roots. I think you are mistakng phenotype for allotyp; just because I look like my Dad doesnt mean I am not half from my Mum - physical appearance can disguise origins within a few generatons and as a Caucasian I would have to say that many ashkenazim dont look strictly European.

  • yeah i understand what you say but i think its almost double standard the way people care about their ancient origins in the case of israel. for ex. the europeans in spain and russia never admit that some of their ancestors are from arabia and africa! the only reason for recalling the ancients is for political purposes. in essence we all are mixed even you a caucasian might have some other race in you from long ago but you don't dwell on it. europeans never say they are anything but european.

  • I have met now three christian Jews living as refugees in NZ from Israel, one the daughter of Russian jewish immigrants who converted in Israel in the 70s and left as persecuted refugees and a couple whose parents were central asian jews and converted and had to leave Israel and they had similar stories of racism there. They described a four tiered apartheid of askenazim, sephardim, falaisha, and then arabs. So I guess I understand your hostility to claims of ethnic genuineness.

  • yeah for me personally i have never been to israel but i go off what my family who lives there says. and there is defintely discrimination in that aparthied manner you described. we ethiopians get especially angry over some of the things we hear. but at the end of the day my cousins are still israelis. i think the thing is for israel to lose this whole we are the "jewish race" thing and be more open to its actual diversity. this discrimination between peoples is what is holding israel back!

  • Ofra's not dead. She's living in our hearts

    FOREVER.

  • Beeindruckend....

  • I miss you very much Ofra
