  • If only I were born Jewish!

  • Amazing! You have a beautiful voice, Yedid Nefesh is my favorite song at shul, we sing that tune that you sang in that video and I have been trying to find that tune on Youtube for a while now and thanks to you I have found it! Thank you and G-d bless you!

  • @rogueunit10 Thanks for the kind words! Happy Purim to you & yours! :-)

  • sweet and holy

  • @BrooklynNotQueens I'm interested to know why you feel it so necessary to disparage him and the movement he founded.

  • I had to listen to this again, very moving and Beautiful!

  • wow you are amazing you sing like the angels gevald I love you

  • Chazak u'varucha and Kol ha kavod! Absolutly Beautiful, Moving and uplifting!

  • todah raba!

  • beatiful video. i would recommend that you dont sing and post it up. remember that this is a holy place and the BESHT im sure would not approve of you singing.

  • Really? Did the BESHT tell you that? The BESHT is no longer and man and the only person who its assur to hear her sing is YOU. So YOU are making the choice to commit an averah not her. If you are so shtark what are you doing on Youtube nu?

  • @theogmikec thanks for always coming to my defense! i tried to post a reply to blubbermama but i took it down to edit and could not repost it. i think it was too long...

  • why shouldnt i be on youtube?

  • ברוך אתה יהוה אלוהינו מלך העולם שלא עשני חסיד

  • You know what that translates to, literally? Hasid is a term used in the Tanakh and Talmud to denote a pious one. You basically just wrote/said: "Blessed are You, Lord, King of the Universe, who has not made me pious"

  • i am sure he knows that. he is saying that he doesn't have a problem with kol eisha unlike blubbermama. it's called sarcasim! ultra-"pious" people often miss the boat in trying to be "holier-than-thou." that's the point and it is well taken!

  • @groovyhoovy613 no that is not what he is saying. He is saying that all Hasidim are in fact NON-JEWS, which is absurd. If you don't agree with me, check his channel out and you'll quickly realize that what I'm saying is true.

  • I read his statement on his channel.  he is just saying that he thinks the chabad movement is not congruent with judaism. everyone has a right to have an opinion. i disagree with him but i can also see how a few "bad" chabadniks may have colored his perceptions. i will email you more...

  • @groovyhoovy613 Also, as the Baal Shem Tov was the founder of Hasidism, it is also a disparaging remark about him to "thank G-d" that he is not a subscriber to his philosophy.

  • Let me ask you a question you sexist moron; I am orthodox for the most part (I do not agree to the Prohibition of Kol Isha B'Kenneset though). The whole Kol Isha Prohibition is against a woman's voice in the Shul, right? Well Technically a Graveyard is not a Shul, so thus what shamda has she committed? Not to mention she is dressed modestly right?! Not to mention it is permissible for a Woman to sing/give a presentation outside the Bimah!

  • THIS IS DIRECTED TO BLUBBERMAMA

  • My most holy sister:

    May the Holy One, most Blessed be, bless you and your family in all things. May you rise to be named among the Mothers of Israel. May your light shine and spread and warm many other seeking souls. May your children rise and called you blessed and may they be numbered among the tzaddikim of our people. May the merit of the Holy Baal Shem Tov protect you always and may the light of the Shekinah always accompany you.

  • Thank you so much for such kind words!

    She that blesses, so shall she be blessed.

    So it is.

  • to the young lady singing: HaKodosh Borchu has granted you a beautiful voice, and it is wonderful to hear you elevate the words with your shir.

    May it be a merit in your name, and the name of your family, that you visited the kever to honor the memory of the Holy Baal Shem.

    Thank you for posting this.

  • G-d bless you Holy Brother!

    Thank you for your kind words.

    :-)

    BTW I am 2 months pregnant in this video and my daughter's name is Ariella after Aryeh Kaplan.

  • this is a beautiful song... sung mostly on the wrong tempo, but i guess this song everyone must sing his/her own way.

  • Hi. I just had to visit again and listen to you singing this beautiful song:)

  • It's a beautiful and soul-stirring rendition of Yedid Nefesh. BTW you do sound like Neshama Carlebach :)

    Please ignore the hateful and hurtful comments. This is a love song to Hashem. I've seen many on You Tube and love them all; all of the video interpretations are deeply personal and nobody has a right to pass judgment on anyone else's interpretation when it comes to their expressions of love and yearning for Hashem.

  • Kol hakavod

  • wow

    thank you so much for sharing that

    i am so touched!

    may you continue to grow spiritually and be led to all the avenues that enable growth and transformation.

    happy succot

  • Great energy, it should be channeled into getting married and having many babies, and singing them to sleep.

  • 1. Miriam did not sing a solo in front of men.

    2. I'm happily married thank God.

    3. I did not curse you God forbid.

    4. You called me a fool and a horse with blinders.

    5. I don't think your singing was appropriate. As I said before the Besht would not have wanted to hear it in his life...so to his death.

    6. I'm sorry if I caused caused you undue pain.

  • Furthermore, once someone passes away, they are a SOUL not a woman or a man. The SOUL is DIVINE so saying that a woman cannot pray out-loud at the resting place of a SOUL is like saying that a woman cannot pray out-loud in front of G-d.

    I was praying to G-d in a Holy place. There is nothing wrong with that. I was not singing the BST a lulliby.

    Expand your mind. You are like a horse with blinders. See the LIGHT!!!

  • Miriam the prophetess lead the people in song and played musical instruments. Was that also a disgrace?

  • The Baal Shem Tov would not have listened to a women other then his wife sing. What makes you think he would want to hear one sing now? You can be close to him by being a Holy modest women like his wife and daughter of saintly memory were.

  • Fool. SInging and prayer are 2 different things! This is a prayer, not a secular song!

  • Fool??? I'm a Rabbi. I know very well what song it is! The Baal Shem Tov was an orthodox Rabbi the leader of the Chasidic movement. Your not going to find any Orthodox Rabbi or Chasid who will listen to a women sing, no matter what she is singing! How much more so the Holly Baal Shem. It is clearly written that this is forbidden in the Shulchan Aruch. You want to sing at a grave? go to the grave of a guy or the founder of the reform movement.

  • I have spent much of my life studying about the Baal Shem, and have read many hundreds of his stories and teachings. You are the fool who discrased his grave. If you continue to be brazen, immodest and disrespectful, I guarantee you you are going nowhere in this life.

  • Again, this is not a song, it is a PRAYER and women are allowed to pray anywhere.

    It seems you have a lot of hatred in your heart and I feel sorry for you.

    You have this need to "be right." Tell me something Rabbi, are you married?

    It is doubtful that any self-respecting woman would put up with your anger issues.

    My life is rich in blessings.

    It is sad that you feel the need to give such a curse. As you know, one who blesses shall be blessed and one who curses...

  • A Rabbi? An Orthodox Rabbi? An Orthodox Chassidic Rabbi? What are YOU DOING on the Internet? On Youtube for that matter. A website full of sin, immodesty, disgust and chilulim Hashem. Yet you choose in place of all that to tell a yid that they are going "nowhere in life" Who are you? The Almighty? Are you a Prophet? You are no Rabbi, you dont understand Torah and you have committed threefold sin that you claim this Jew is guilty of. You to will be but dust and worms on the day of judgement.

  • Hi Mike

    Thanks for the support.

    Just for clarification, this comment was aimed at abefried who told me on another page that I was "going nowhere in life." Just so that future views don't mistake this comment as being directed at me.

    G-d Bless you!

  • In response to your post about the women singing by the grave of the Baal shem Tov. I happen to be very learned in the ways of the Baal shem. I've speant years reading many volumes of his books and learning many of his teaching. Trust me he would not be happy about a women posting a video of herself at his grave on youtube. I have nothing against the singer and actualy we made our peace.

  • What do you mean you are "learned" in the ways of the Baal Shem Tov? And what volumes of his books? The BESHT zt"l didnt write any books. His Chassidim most notably Reb Yaakov Yosef of Polonne wrote what the Rebbe said but he himself wrote next to nothing, and there are no published books written by his hand. The Halacha is that a man is forbidden to hear a woman sing, not that a woman is forbidden to sing. A Kever alone is not an averah and a Neshaman has no gender.

  • I am not a Rabbi but maybe one day. I am however a Chasid and my Rebbe descends from the greatest Talmidim of the Heiliga Rebbe Reb Yisorel Ben Eliezer Baal Shem Tov. There is nothing left to discuss. While you waste your time condemning a Jew and I waste my time defending a Jew we are both guilty of Bittul Torah.

  • Nice to hear about another "fan" of the Baal Shem. True he did not write any books that we are aware of, although there does exist his original sidder with some notes in it. His Chasidim wrote his Teachings and the Jewish world joined to tell his stories. If you want to get "halachik" about the video. It is a michshul for the rabim. Many Jewish man are tuning in to see the video bec of the title BST. What they are getting is, as you said asur. False advertising with the BSTs name.

  • A "fan"? Im a Chasid and a follower of the Holy Rebbe Reb. Im well aware of his siddur, and its not something you or anyone outside of high ranking Lubavitchers have access too. Its not something you flip through either. The Rebbe of Polonne quotes his Rebbe the BESHT over 240 times. That is the closest we have to way the BESHT said. Your internet isnt very filtered if you can use Youtube. I dont even use this site, i found this video from Google.

  • Youtube is barely klippas noga. You cant just say because people put up holy Rebbe videos that it makes up for all of the smut, sex, drugs, violence, and complete avodah zaharah this website represents. All much more of a chillul Hashem than any women singing.

  • Not to mention how much slandering is rampant on Youtube, especially with regard to Jews, Israel and the Oral Tradition!

  • Comment removed

  • Your comment about a Rabbi and the internet. Well I actually have a filtered internet that doesn't allow every site. There is plenty of good also online. The truth however remains, The Baal Shem Tov would not be happy about the video. If you dont know who he was and what he stood for then do the research. I will stand up for my beloved Rebbe. May his name be a blessing to all of us.

    If your ever in Israel we could continue the conversation at my home with some good food.

  • And where did you get your smicha from? Obviously not the Yeshiva of Ahavat Yisrael.

    Words are like a knife and your words are a double edged sword that will hurt you in the end.

    When you reconcile with the Creator and He shows you all of your mistakes, you will remember this one.

    Didn't your mother teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say, be quiet?

  • is this Neshama Carlebach ?

  • Wow! What a compliment! I am so flattered. I always thought I had the WORST voice. I think when I pray, it must come out through my soul or something. I WISH I was the daughter of the GREAT Reb Shlomo! I love his stories! I never got to see him live, but my dad did (before my time). I didn't learn about Reb Shlomo 'til after his passing :-(

    Thanks again.  You made my Shabbat & Weekend!!!

    :-)

    BTW Hoovy is a nick-name for Ahuva

  • B'simcha!
