[kevinscholes]

shalom ,from kevin in the UK-ex kibbutz worker kibbutz alumot and geva worked in Eilat , love israel, the t Torah (tenach /bible) i have found Jesus(Yeshua) is the messiah (Meshiach) shalom

[v8350chrome]

@kevinscholes

I think it is awesome to hear that you have been to Israel & worked on a kibbutz! What was that like? are there any messianic kibbutz there who accept Judeo-Christians to help them with whatever they need help with? I'm in the medical field; God gave me many talents & I would love to give them back to my Lord Jesus in His service helping His chosen people, the Jews & Israel. If I could I would, but how does one go about doing this? If possible, can you respond? God Bless You & TY!

[zoropeace]

My eyes are covered but I see more clearly. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[okmich]

If I could get a friend who could show me around Isreal towns, I would love to spend my next vacation there but I don't know anyone there even though I feel jewish sometimes (sad).

[v8350chrome]

@okmich

I feel the same exact way as you do. I am a Judeo-Christian & I want so bad to go to Israel & help people there in any way I can. If I could I would go right now. For me it would be much more than a vacation, it would be a life's calling & dream come true. I love the Jewish people & their homeland Israel. I consider myself spiritually Jewish. If I could , I would go & live there devoting the rest of my life helping God's chosen people in any way I can & live amongst the poor.God Bless!

[okmich]

@v8350chrome

The feeling is the same. I'm Nigerian with so much passion/interest in Israel.

I will definitely make the trip there soon but it will be worth having a friend to show me around. It would make the trip more fulfilling.

Shalom Yerushalayim. May they prosper that love you.

[johnknoefler]

@okmich There is a volunteer group. I still have the info if you want. You go do work and then on Friday you travel to the towns and see the holy sites.

[okmich]

@johnknoefler Why not? Please send it (to my inbox). I definitely want it. Thanks in advance.

[FunnyChloeMichelle]

@okmich I would love to! May we meet there one day, my friend! Shalom =)

[ch3shirecat85]

@okmich DUUUUUUUUUDE!!! Everyone will show you around. We, Israelis, are very friendly towards visitors. I'm faaaaaaaaaaaaar from the only person who'll joyfully show you around, brother!

[okmich]

@ch3shirecat85 Thanks.

I already had my vacation for the year as I was unable to make sar-el.org. Let make it next year and I will be on the streets of Jerusalem and see the land for myself.

[peterhansenism]

שמע ישראל! שלום :-) .. Beautiful song! Would love to join you some time. Peace!

[southefritelien]

Слава Богу! Господь благословит Израиля!

[TheCrazyMattie]

i my self am a christian but i want to observe jewish daysas well. beautiful prayer it was so tranquil shalom.

[mtnman2012]

This is wonderful! I love it! These are the most sacred words given to man. I would like to commune with God this way with you.

I cannot believe that there are a few people criticizing it. There should be no limit on how to praise God, or in how to be a Jew. There are many cultural flavors.

My family were sephardics who came to the American frontier in the 1600's. This works for me!

[MsDi1988]

Where could I get a CD of THIS version! It is really powerful!

[pettymolly]

oh god. flower power..again?

[junjimalaza]

@pettymolly its not flower people, wait your kidding right?

[pettymolly]

@junjimalaza no offence. I love this song.. but this version is just not for me. I'll shut up now :)

[dulostheotos]

un saludo a mi hermanos hebreos por la unidad y la paz

[cdodick]

Beautiful!!!

[Geofferic]

This was wonderful. :)

[jparnos]

"Shema Israel Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad."

[ninacarducci]

Very beutiful.

What does Shema Yisrael mean?

[TheMintusmaximus]

@ninacarducci

It means Hear Israel. Or more like "Listen Israel" ... It's Deut 6:4 from the Bible.

"Hear o Israel the Lord is your God and the Lord is one." Or in Hebrew

"Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad."

Shalom ;)

[keila8080]

i dont know what it says but it sounds good, i love Jew people, i love Israel and i pray EVERY single day for their peace, their protection and for the coming of the messiah. Shalom from United States

[137138]

check out Jacqueline Westhead's Hebrew chants on CD Baby website

[xXPiggyBanks123]

this is a long song but so touching and amazing SHEMA YISRAEL!!!

[snuffluphagus2]

I believe the intention is good, but we must be very careful if we are going to be part of the olive tree, we need to be wholly part of it, and respecting the Holy Spirit, ESPECIALLY if it's messianic, not so sure, but to me this looks like a chant/mantra/almost cultish...please forgive me sincerely if I am wrong, but the spirit of God must not be made a fool of....I've check out other madzub stuff, and the Holy Spirit comes to convict in order for there to be conversion...to Christ

[TheMintusmaximus]

@snuffluphagus2

It's singing. The words in english are "Hear Israel the lord is your God and the lord is ONE." - It's a declaration of faith. I noticed you use the Greek term for Messiah 'Christ' please don't fall into the trinity tap because this declaration Deut 6:4 is the antithesis to the Trinitarian idea introduced by the Greeks.

[Bimfirestarter]

@TheMintusmaximus -You got that right. I am Christian myself, but it's clear from the origial scriptures that Jesus never considered himself God, and the trinity wasn't even developed till like 300 years later. At the council of Nicea they declared Jesus was god, but had no idea what the holy spirit was, so even then, the trinity wasn't established. Of course, both Judaism and Christianity went through changes. Even with this 'Shema', it was never written 'Adonai Eloheinu' but 'Yehowah Eloheinu'

[777jordan]

@Bimfirestarter It's pretty clear from the original Christian scriptures that Jesus did claim to be God. He almost got killed a few times for claiming it.

[Bimfirestarter]

@777jordan 'The father and I are one'? Yet he told his apostles 'you must all be one, JUST AS the Father and I are one.' He ain't talking about oneness of body, but oneness of purpose. He also said 'The Father is greater than I am' and 'I am ascending to my God and your God, to my Father and your Father', so from his own admission, God is someone seperate from him and greater, even after his return to heaven. Son of God, yes. This is my understanding, let's not argue till we're blue in the face.

[junjimalaza]

@Bimfirestarter but YHWH was suppose to be uttered by the high priest, the Kohen Gadol not the ordinary folk. And the pronunciation is lost in antiquity, well since u r a xtian you'll disagree.

[pitojuancito]

@junjimalaza I cannot stand it when people try to pronounce His name when no one truly knows how to pronounce it. I do not believe people should even try in fear that they happen to say it correctly (unlikely) and use it in vain!

[johnknoefler]

@pitojuancito I studied for several months to find his true name and researched all I could on it. The commandment means to not use a false name in His Name's place. Like Lord or God. Those are both false names. I won't do the research for you. Go look and study. It is still there encoded into the scripture so that even if they tried they could not remove HaShem. He put his name there over 6000 times and said that at last when His Kingdom came even a Cow would have HOLINESS TO ____. Now Study!

[Bimfirestarter]

@junjimalaza The scriptures themselves quote Eve and Abraham and Moses and Ahab and royalty and common people as using the name Yhwh with the greatest freeness. Boaz and his men greeted eachother with the phrase 'Yhwh be with you'. So according to the TANAKH, not me 'since I'm a xtian', the Divine Name was not in the slightest restricted to use by the High Priest. With roughly 6900 occurences throughout it, it's rather impossible to prove otherwise.

[Bimfirestarter]

@junjimalaza -Forget the TANAKH, scores of ancient pre-exilic Hebrew inscriptions show that the name Yahweh/Jehovah was in common use in theophoric names like Yehochanan and Hosha'yahu, as I'm sure you're well aware, but also in full. I would encourage you- if you care- to investigate the so-called 'Lachish Letters' which demontrate this use of the Tetragrammaton in everyday greetings. These weren't documents of any High Priest, but soldiers and such. The Widow ostracon is a commoner who uses it

[pitojuancito]

@Bimfirestarter Jesus does claim to be God in John 8:58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I AM!” Many Christians miss this due to translation, but if you go back to the original text, He uses "I AM" the same way God did when He was speaking with Moses. That is why the Pharisees picked up stones to throw at Him, because they understood this.

[Bimfirestarter]

@pitojuancito They wanted to kill him because he claimed to be older than their 'father' Abraham. In the translations of that Greek text it is 'Hayithi' in Hebrew, not present tense. Even in Exodus it's Ehyeh 'I Will Become' not 'I am'. Greek misconstrues it a little.

[pitojuancito]

@Bimfirestarter Also, it was "originally written YHVH ELVHYNV, when vowels were inserted to help younger generations remember how to pronounce the words, the vowels of Adonai were inserted between YHVH in a smaller way to notify the reader YHVH was not to be pronounced but Adonai was to be said in place of it. Translators, not knowing this about Jewish culture translated it to YHWH and JHVH, with vowels of course, as most know it today. In truth NO ONE knows the TRUE pronunciation of God's name.

[junjimalaza]

@pitojuancito YHVH is an acronym in Hebrew, at least that is what I heard from Temple Insitute

[Bimfirestarter]

@junjimalaza No, it's connected to the Divine Proclamation at Exodus 3 "Ehyeh 'asher Ehyeh', coming from the same root as 'Ehyeh', which means 'I will Become' or 'I shall Prove to be'. YHWH means 'HE will Prove to be' or 'He causes to be'.

[Bimfirestarter]

@TheMintusmaximus In ancient times, the name Yehowah was used freely, as so many ancient Hebrew inscriptions attest, even Egyptian ones and non-Israelite ones, showing the name was known even among the enemies of Israel. So it shows quite a contrast between modern day Judaism, which prohibits the use of God's name. (I refer to finds such as the Lachish Ostracon and the Mesha Stele and the Shasu-yahweh inscriptions from Egypt).

[NativeNewYorkGuy]

@snuffluphagus2 "Cultish" before you call anyone cultish or make any IGNORANT crass judgment against anyone......please examine your own ideals......"Messianic"? some consider that to be "cultish" and well any kind of JESUS FREAK is cultish and repugnant whether Gentile or "Jew"

[DominicanoOR]

@NativeNewYorkGuy Who/what is a Jesus freak?

[NativeNewYorkGuy]

@DominicanoOR Who or what is a Jesus freak? one who thinks that he/she is married to God, likes to repeat Bible verses all day ans thinks that he/she was the first person ever to read the particular Bible verse and God 'revealed " it only to them.

[gitarrita]

HI where can I reach you guys I'LL love to chant with you guys.

at least be in touch with you. I live in Mexico

[Batiyah]

Can I get this song on CD?

[IrisGillonComposer]

Very interesting! Here mine.

[madhavi108]

Can't hear the words in the opening (english translation).  Otherwise, lovely!

[hendlerj]

Beautiful! It makes me sad to see other Jews criticizing this. If they are praying to God sincerely, God hears them - guitars or not.

[petboyuk2]

The worst kind of happy-clappy Judaism. If you want to strum a guitar and turn prayers into pop songs, go join the Christians! Keep your Kum-Ba-Yahs in the church, where God isn't listening anyway.........

[auitane]

@petboyuk2 "The righteous of all nations shall have a place to come", says the Talmud. God hears the Christians.

[ignacioarg777]

@petboyuk2 u need a revelation from ADONAY for sure . The worst kind of religious are those who impose the rule but inwards azre not following it So sad for u because are attacking your people and christians alike. Who are you yo say that...NO one!

[Aureleann]

Hey, by the way, are these people Messianic Jews or Chirstians? Thanks

[auitane]

@Aureleann Neither.

[Aureleann]

@auitane

ok then, thank you, so they're Orthodox Jews (I wouldn't have thought Orthodox Jews would have such a singing plus no kippa for most men) I sounds great and inpiring anyway. I love it a lot

[auitane]

@Aureleann No, not orthodox either. They probably aren't affiliated with any official denomination, but Jewish Renewal is an interdenominational movement with which they sort of gel.

[Aureleann]

@auitane

ok thanks a lot :-)

[OhSleeperAwake]

the whole world is waking up! people are waking up! people everwhere are waking up!

this is a beautiful prayer and chant, thanks for this beautiful timly sharing.

[Jamesr178]

@OhSleeperAwake rise from the dead, and let the light of Christ shine on thee... awaken from the stupor of your daily repetition, your apathy, your jealousy, your spite... shun the blunting of the spirit gifted to thee... let it soar

[gisellita2008]

Beautiful,Shema Israel Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai ejad. Only one, there is no other like Him. HalleluYah

[AzzRaaHall]

What religion is this?Could someone tell me?

[adamatova]

The Shema is a central prayer in Judaism. AFAIK it's not to be set to music but to be recited 2x a day - morning at night as part of the morning service and night-time prayers.

[AzzRaaHall]

well,,this seems really beautiful,,thanks

[laffingdukk]

well we sing it in shul..tho it doesn't sound like this

[laffingdukk]

well we sing it in shul but it doesn't sound like this east indian/christiany type stuff...

[TheMintusmaximus]

@adamatova

I don't see the shame in reciting the Shema to music. Since Meshiach David praised the lord with his music and his dancing. I think the Shema is a powerful prayer and I feel moved when I speak it.

Shema Yisrael adonai eloheinu adonai echad

Baruch sheim kvod malkhuto l'olam vaed.
