Absolutely! This really brings the prayers to life. And, it shows that it applies to all of humanity, not just the Jews (of course). Thank you for producing this.
This video has nothing to do with pandering to fear or anything of the sort. If you watch it closely you can see the clear message. Our lives are in the hands of G-D for (perceived) good or bad. And it gives strong advice to help yourself out; Repentance, Prayer and Charity (good deeds).
I thought it was an excellent and eye opening video.
mmmm dont know if I like this vidio. very harsh. was more to get you scard than you get you giviing loving..... is that what we need how knows everyone to there own I surpose!
Wow, truly inspiring yet definitly put you in your place when u see this and realize that there is a god up there pulling all the strings ..everything is in control..not yours. Shanah Tova, may we all merit a happy and healthy new year!
This video is pandering to fear. I think it stinks. Stop trying to appease a vengeful God and instead try to enjoy your lives. They aren't that long as it is.

Half of these disasters are instigated by amalek(the ilumminati) 90% of teh faces you showed, even some of which you considerred degraded(and well so) are psychopathic satanists. How much longer are people gonna wallow in ignorance of how society really works. I am a believer in Hashem and work hard to follow his will. But this level of jewish naivete irritates me. Time to wake up other jews to the real threat of Amalek(illuminati). Media is nonsense, lies. all of it controlled by amalek.
and for those exalted individuals./ You know, hitler was exalted in Germany, even by credulous jews. Obama, palin, mccain, biden, all of these people are RAGING maniacs. Satanists. Understand their occult mechanics and you can pretty much understand who they are and why they do what they do. and BTW, torah is the truth, kabbalah and chassidut are the most important subjects that need to be studied! we are entering the end times. I just hope people stop trusting these lying evil people in power.

SLAUGHTERING PALESTINIANS YEAR AFTER YEAR AT THE RATIO OF "8 to 1" AND THEN CLAIMING YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF TERRORISM AND ANTI~SEMITISM IS SIMPLY LAUGHABLE BY ANY RATIONAL, LOGIC, RELIGION OR CREED. NO EXCUSE* IS CREDIBLE FOR THESE LEVELS OF TERRORISM. NOT EVEN THE JEWISH HOLY TORAH ALLOWS KILLING BEYOND AN EYE FOR AN EYE!

oh my goodness- that video made that tefilla so real. i happen to think "unisaneh tokef" is such a scary part of rosh hashona and this video made me realize how real what it's saying is. wow.
Your welcome... I don't think it matters much either. I have great love for the Jewish people my brother-in-law is an Israeli and my family has many Jewish friends..
We don't know why things happen. Only God knows the reason. But whatever happens, we can try to make something good from it, like comforting and helping others. A good analogy is when a little child gets a shot. It's painful and s/he doesn't know why s/he's getting it. Then the mother comforts the child.
May we have a healthy and happy year. Things might not always turn out like we want, but whatever challenges we have, may we build something positive from it.

Theres no evidence that prayer works. Why do evil people prosper and good people suffer? This is all superstition and if you really want to help ease the suffering in the world then you have to take action not pray to some deity.
your question is a good one and answerable just not in a 1 minute post. We do not claim to know G-d's ways, sometimes what seems bad is really good (for example, you miss a train and you are all upset but if you had taken it, you might have gotten hurt in an accident etc), I recommend you read "The Garden of Emuna" by R' Arush. Sometimes G-d rewards the evil in this world so they wont get any reward in the world to come...if you still have questions feel free to message me
have you researched the power or of prayer to make that statement ? besides you can look at prayer as a way of reaching yourself and who you are and thereby bettering yourself which would affect change in this world
I believe this is a blessing, it stirs the soul to reflect on whether you are in your own world, or know what is going on. Yes, actions can make changes, but if we do not pray, will the Almighty allow our actions to be fruitful? Well done. Shalom, Am Yisrael chai.

PRAY? Like that would make any difference! Real actions by people make the difference. - Pray as much you want, people will still die as flies in Darfur, Jews will still be kicked out from their homes in judea and samaria.
What is life? Just to breath? We want to be here for an eternity, not just another year of health... Rosh Hashana is a day where we pray for the ability to fulfill and bring to fruition our true potential and not merely be part of the environment that reacts to the stimulations of society.
On Rosh Hashonoh we are CROWNING OUR KING, our creator. Between Rsoh Hashonoh and Yom Kippur we do Teshuvah (return to our rightfull place) and Yom Kippur we are judged and on Hashonoh rabo it is sealed.
Judaism is not about fear, blood and death. This paints g-d as a tyrant. There is so much depth and beauty in the Prayers of Rosh Hashanah, why focus on the negative???
1) its not focusing just on the negative. maybe you are, but if you watch it properly you will see that there is lots of positive in it also.
2) this is probably one of the most famous Rosh Hashanah prayers and it is going through each word of the prayer.
3) its not negative at all because if you would have watched the whole thing, you would have seen thet repentance, prayer and charity will prevent all this
We have to put this film in context of what its purpose is - and that is to explain a particular prayer in the literagy, not to be an explanation of the Jewish outlook on G-d nor on the whole of the prayers designated for Rosh Hashana.
It's so creepy how much G-d can do in just this one short year. I was so gripped by that fact...and then we say...but it can be annuled, makes you wanna pray just a bit harder...no? What a fantastic job! Well done!!!
We saw this in school today, I think it's an amazingly epic, thought evoking film...a lot of kids in my class over analyzed it to the point that they didn't like it, though, which was upsetting; it's supposed to humble you and they really ruined the point..
Bravo! A gripping film! Changed my life as soon as I saw the cool text, the earth in the background, and heard the dramatic music playing. Emmy anyone?
and this is so true Repentance along with prayers and charity seems to be the only hope and way. But how can we personally make a difference is the question we must ask today? If we want to see change we have to emobody that change. Please I encourage all to watch A Sacred duty today. It has made a true difference in my life forever! True change that we must consider that will help others as well! Thanks for sharring this today with us. Just beautiful!!
By bringing images to familiar words, the words become more real and evoke additional images. May our prayers feel connected to our lives, eliciting teshuvah, gratitude, and hope.
The definition of stoning from Maimonides, and I think the Talmud, is that they drop a huge stone onto the person. In English, I know that stoning is something else.
-- 'by stoning' would better be represented by the stoning of an Iraqi girl accused of adultery than by the earthquake in China (which, in any case, was already mentioned earlier in the video)
-- true 'tranquility' is more than a walk on the beach
...but the message itself is timeless and appropriate. Thanks!
