  • show me one man that says my country is apartheid?

  • in israel there are over 100000 refugees from the sudan ,they work ,get ss benefits and have their own pubs , sorry any one left to call us apartheid ?the egyptians shoot them on sight ,no one else wants them we embrace them ,who calls the kettle black ?the bloody e.u.

    '

  • when a jew sang kol nidre in europe ,or in africa ,he sung it close to the local church or mosque,for fear they would hear the jewish prayer and kill us all

    ,thats apartheid

  • ashkenaz jewery,sang "opera",jews of israel ,named palestite later by the turks brits and way before the romans,who kicked them tushes cause in the ghetto wich my african american broyhers like to term is actually a jewish invention, for being a jew,sing the same as their muslim counterparts,you know why?

  • Does anyone of a song Jolson sang about a bride and groom ( chosan and kallah?

  • Oral tradition helps generations to understand more clearly what is being said. Al Jolsons version of the song is great

  • his father was a cantor, jolson was born in russia. if one is brutally analytical, the american entertainment industry, whether in film or music, owes its very being and nature to this group of people. stardom comes from abraham.

  • Why wouldn't he understand the text? He would have heard it every Yom Kippur.

  • Pop singer. Sounds untrained. Does not seem to have big open pipes. He may or may not have understood the meaning of the text: The agony, the shame, the humiliation of missing the mark. Of course with old technology, might be hard to know how he really sounded.

  • You're right.

  • I had no idea Al Jolson would sing this beautiful song with so much respect and holiness.

  • Wish my father was alive to hear this, he loved Al Jolson and would have quvelled to hear this version

  • Gorgeous! Am Yisrael chai

  • 1 muslim watched this.

  • best ever

    what a time for this

  • jolson sings mit a reytsn arayn zayn kol lakhlutn sheyn.

    jolson sings with a tear in his voice, this absolutely beautiful

  • Watching this while eating a bowl of kishke nosh mit tsimmis. Jolie brought deep emotion to this hymn, sad as it might be.

  • Just as powerful then as when he sang it in 'The Jazz Singer'

  • Cantor Josef RosenBlatt and Al Jolson do great versions of this Prayer

  • The greatest Singer of all time is and always will be Al Jolson this is so beautiful

  • Can't hear it without tearing up. Nobody better. Ever!

  • Jolson was born to sing this.The best of them all.

  • @ruthy102 I second that. Al Jolson, ne Asa Yoelson.

    

  • Better than Jan Peerce or Richard Tucker, though they were both wonderful singers. The emotion in Jolson's voice says it all. Gave me goose bumps and brought tears to my eyes.

  • @Pyesangel Check out versions (on YouTube) by Johnny Mathis and Moishe Oysher.

  • @StJouish I agree with you, never is a long time. And certainly Oysher's version is absolutely brilliant. I am a big fan of Oysher and didn't mean to take anything away from him. But Jolie's version has the yiddische kvetch that all the other versions lack.

  • @rkkrakusin Musical talent is different sometimes without being necessarily better. My daughter is a jazz sax player. She has perfect pitch and is excellent at improvisation. But in terms of mechanic skill with her instrument, maybe other people are better. Overall she is still a darn good musician. Possibly these disputations about who is best is like trying to decide if steak is better than lobster.

  • @rkkrakusin

    agree 100% i felt it

  • Thank you extremely much for posting this. Never has this prayer been sung more emotionally or beautifully.

  • @nikolai90 Never is a long time. Check out versions (on YouTube) by Johnny Mathis and Moishe Oysher.
