This goes to show how weak the jewish community is! So the guy doesn't want a beard anymore, who cares?!?
He's still a Yid and has done more than anyone else in bringing light to the world.
What do they call jews the chosen people for? Not because God chose them for no reason, He wanted them to be His spiritual vessel, not some hidden light in a schtetel!!!
Branch out Matis Find those lost yiden and bring them back in a way THEY can relate to!
let him explore his own life no one should put him in a box if he wants to explore that is between him and his wife to do. He is still a talented entertainer and shouldn't be held in a box. Sometimes you need to change to find who you are. Basically leave him alone!
guys, when I first saw his new look I was furious, I went and was about to delete his music off of my iPod and smash the cd's. Instead I went and put on my tefillin twice, once for you. I have to admit that I haven't put it on in months. I guess I should thank him.

what is the 'old Matisyahu'? the fact that he dressed like a tradional Lubavitcher?. He's evolving as a Jew and as a man and as an artist . He should follow his own path and has never veered off the path of Yiddishkeit, so where's the problem? He turns me on to Hashem more than ever (and I'm not Jewish)
you are all getting it wrong. its not about getting him back. its about keeping him Frum. Shlomo Karlibach used to be frum. when you become popular, when you go in front of the public you need a Mashpiah someone to let you know when you are going over the line so you can fix it. Dressing up for kratzmach, the wholes Party with girls (or the loshen used), non sniesdick girl and singing the brochos with Hashems name over and over again is going over the line in my opinion.
@chabadcrimea You have literally zero clue about what you speak of. Your rebuke does not stem from ahavas yisroel. You are creating a chillul HASHEM by writing what you do. This is lashon horah to its fullest. The Rebbe maharash says that when a chasid knows whats what hes a chasid and he has a rebbe. When a chosid doesnt act like a chosid he makes the Rebbe not a Rebbe. Look at yourself and stop worrying about other yidden. You dont know him personally and you dont know his hashkafah.
That is irrelevant. If you ask the Rebbe if posting negative things about a Jew online (especially when the person you write about will never read it to "change" the way you want them to "change") then you can not rebuke them. Is your rebuke out of love? Such a holy connect to the nefesh elokis of another yid that you feel he is spiritually harming himself and others? Or is it that you just want someone to follow the Derech that works for you. Reminds me the mashul of Reb Zusha...
Moshiach Now? You want Moshiach now yet you criticize a Jew in public on a website that he will never read. They only thing that happens is others reading it and increasing hate against him, you, Chabad, the Rebbe, and NOT BRINGING MOSHIACH!
Because someone is no longer a Lubavitcher on the outside he is somehow off the derech. The Baal Shem tov says that whatever imperfection you see is in YOU and Hashem is trying to help YOU realize YOUR flaws and faults.
This new sickness in Chabad of caring so much about the levush is the antithesis of Chassidus. If he brings one more Jew closer to Judaism because of his approachability that saves an entire world! I would really like to see what the person making this video is doing to follow the words of the Rebbe.
or even last week? Because the Alter Rebbe says that we must live with the times! This critique of a Jew publicly is this weeks portion. Yosef HaTzadik. He dressed like an egyptian and was able to be in the deepest tumah in the world and still live his life as a Jew to the point he knew the exact halacha he was studying with his father 22 years later.
This video is rather pathetic. I would like to see who the person is who made it and how they live their life. Why did I not see this video 2 months ago?
PS: Your music was more pure back then too. It wasnt as over produced as it is now. More raw and real. The new stuff is great but somehow Shake Off the Dust is more "authentic".
At first all was well - then slowly... please stop the decline now.
Even your non-jewish fans - (read the YouTube comments) were left scratching their heads after you pulled a gun in that silly video. (You sing "One Day"!)
I was actually thinking about doing a "Dear Matisyahu". Someone beat me to it (take out the Yechi - that was part of his excuse for calling Chabad a cult)
While its nice to see frum people having fun and letting loose - there is a limit.
Matisyahu I still am a huge fan and will continue to support you. (Unless you touch that beard!) But please - come home. You don't have to love everything but show a bit more respect.
The first thing I thought when I heard about Matisyahu soon after he was on Jimmy Kimmel was: Please G-d let this man be for real and not mess up and make a mockery of frum Yidden.
you.I think somewhere inside you want to go back to your innocence - You still can't let go of that Niggun.
Please go back to the "original" Matisyahu. Careful with his words, appreciating the fact that you are one of the only frum people with such a big spotlight shining onto you etc.
The Miracle song was nice but was cheapened by the music video.
While your on Vacation from Ephraim, you might also want to add Simcha Levenberg to the list.(What was Simcha thinking with that gun?)
Yes its true Chabad can get a little out of hand (I think the Matisyahu saying Yechi was strange and it is not at all what we miss about him - It think having that in the video takes away from the real message)
Matisyahu please take a break from Ephraim and spend some more time with Rabbi Manis Friedman.
While I don't think you meant to do it, you were very loose in your interviews after you "left" Chabad. You admit Chabad has helped you along the way.Its not nice to bite the hand that feeds
who is "we want the old matisyahu back"? kind of funny that the last clip u showed was from a recent interview. anyway, pretty immature and selfish of u to request that matis change somehow for ur own enjoyment or approval. who are you? he hasn't changed but perhaps u have become more judgemental. people r allowed to evolve and expand their horizons. to each his own. only G-d can judge.
Honestly, say what you want about what has become of Matisyahu; whether it be his latest music video etc...but the LAST thing we need...the ultimate LAST thing needed is for Matisyahu to go back to singing Yechi. I wasn't aware that he used to until this video and for all I know it was because he was new to Lubavitch and didn't know any better. Regardless, this video is more of wanting the Lubavtich Matisyahu back than wanting a more spiritual/tzniut/mainstream frum Matisyahu.
first song ?

Mr Michaelmordechai; Can you not agree that his music was more pure six years ago? That there was a huge amount of Toichin ("Depth) in his music?
Or are you saying there is no change?

This story is about a deceiving fellow named Ephraim Rosenstein.
Ephraim Rosenstein used to provide his "therapy" right in the center of Crown Heights.
He had a Tanya and Lekuti Torah on the shelf as "props". He would play as a insider but would really disrespect his own clients.
Unfortunately Matisyahu fell into this mans hands. This Ephraim Rosenstein character has written twisted articles about the Rebbe.
Dear Matisyahu: Is OK to follow Ephraim Rosenstein blindly? ... Continued...
