  • luvs a rapping rabbi

  • hey dis song is da shit...i love the message...i love it...

    Krys

  • all music should be like this, in the sense that the message should always be a positive one.

  • ur so right, this is a prime example of the meaning "hip hop is dead" musicians these days have no positive message in their lyrics, let alone ANY message.. god bless artist like these that have meaning to there music and words :)

  • Such an amazing song! I don't listen to much reggae, but I could listen to this stuff for the rest of my life ... in fact, I think I will. ^_^

  • Oh my goodness, this is such an inspiring song. Im just like stunned about what he's singing. Just the fact how he says "Years gone by, about sixty

    Burn in the oven in this century

    And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me" just makes my mouth drop. Its truly and amazing song. Whooohoooo Matis is an inspiration to jews everywhere ! :D <3

  • Yet another good example of the saying .' Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover'....

  • this is the best version

  • matisyahu..such a underated rappper

    that kicks much ass

  • Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo

  • what is talking??? Its pretti amazin thu.

  • rebuild the temple already

  • Shalom m'Lawrence, Kansas!

  • one love from the jersey shore

  • much love from Kansas City, Missouri, USA.

  • song; awesome

    video; INCREDIBLE

    this song is so easy to get addicted too

  • PEACE!

  • Through music, we speak the same language.

    Through the love of G-d we will be united.

  • i love israel iwas bor in tel av veev but i still love jerusalem go israel peace and all the world should be peace right i love my home country but i also love all the ather countrys

  • jewssss wooh

  • no comas al cerdo porque nunca seras cuerdo NO TOQUES AL CERDO!!!

  • Unless you're a palestinian, right?

  • come on people, your forgeting the message, ONE LOVE

  • geez some of you have no concept huh, he's giving a literal history of the Jewish people's connection to Jerusalem and is actually calling for the reconstruction of the temple in Yerushalayim, lol the chorus is a 2000 year old prayer said everyday by observant Jews, let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do..

  • matisyahu es lo maximo esta es uuna de sus mejores canciones

  • Weirdest thing I've seen for a while, but in a good way. This religion talk is weird. I wouldn't be talking about how Israel or Palestine should or should not to, since I have no concept of the situation, I'm just a spectator and spectators should shut up or get involved. There's always propaganda, and there's always some fat ass europeans (Who last time I checked watched the nazies rise and murder millions of people without doing anything.) telling what's morally right. The stupidest shit ever.

  • i think it is a great song matisyahu is explaining what jurusalem and isreal in general means to jewish people i am not jewish (i am an irish catholic ) and i do not support isreal or its goverments actions i am just a reggae fan

  • but what you support saudi Arabia's government and its actions ? nobody cares whether you support or dont support israel, jews have had enough about caring what you think and say about us. This is a great song, and it is simply explaining that for jews there is no more special and important place but jerusalem.

  • being jewish does not make you Israeli.  if someone insults israel they are not insulting you, get over it. if god loved the jews so much why sis he give them a desert with no oil?

  • i bless you jerushalayim

  • But the lyrics are Zionist my friend:Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory Years gone by, about sixty Burn in the oven in this century And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free Erase the demons out of our memory Change your name and your identity Afraid of the truth and our dark history Why is everybody always chasing we Cut off the roots of your family tree
  • but, surely this line makes it seem otherwise.

    "it's not about the land or the sea

    Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty"

  • Matisyahu is not a zionist, and has done many shows with Arabic/Palestinian/Islamic groups... Israels current state is a smear on the face of peace. Think before you talk.

  • Demasido buena la canciòn me encanta :)

  • ahh this song is awesoooommmmeee!

  • man this song is amazing

  • ukimf has: "So why did United States refuse Jewish immigration during WW2?"

    This is a straw man arguement that has nothing to do with my precipice. Nice try though.

  • Even tho I am not a big fan of Judaism.. this man has talentttt! Amazing music.

  • i prefer the older version of the song.

  • good amazing

  • the jewish religion is a the truest religion ever !!!!!!!

  • you haters!!!

  • palizcutie: second of all they dont worship death,, where do you get this nonsense from,, wow!

    Consecutive and consistent behavior of those that subscribe to Islam. Behavior that includes examples like muslims leaders stating to Israel that they love death more then Israelis love life, strap bombs to children and people with down syndrome. Lets not forget the fact that Islam has been waging total and absolute warfare against every one and every thing for over 1450 years.

  • God bless Israel indeed!

  • you people are so bad!!!!!!!really...a big bad world it is sad!!!!

  • great voice

  • but the song is very great like matisyahu :)

  • religion kills

  • T4nz4ni: "Because you fucking filthy Jews only care about yourselves... "

    Even if that where true i could hardly blame them seeing as traditionally no one else (other the United States) looks out for them. That said i have found Jewish people to be very loving and giving. Remember Jews worship life where as conversely musilims / nazis worship death.

  • first of all spell muslim right,, second of all they dont worship death,, where do you get this nonsense from,, wow!

  • palizcuttie:

    first of all spell muslim right

    As if a typo has anything to do with the legitimacy regarding my initial precipice. On a side note seeing as you feel the need to relegate yourself to performing the functions of an unpaid secretary I will have to ask you to leave a resume at the front desk.

  • Great music. Gotta hand it to the dude, he proves Jews can do other things than your taxes.

  • God bless Jerusalem, We in philippines support you in your journey in bringing peace and tranquility in Israel! I understand that you have to defend Zion at all cost, Long live Israel, wee will fight at the cost of zion.

  • Christ was a Jew, and Christ is our Lord & Savior! For All!,

    If you're calling Jews filthy, remember Christ was a Jew. He is Risen, and He Will Come Again.

    Bless you .

  • what did israels ever do to you.???

  • If were selfish we wouldent be making songs for ur entertainment.

  • i saw Matisyahu live a few months ago an it was the best show i had ever seen...he closed with this song and the crowd went crazy its def in my top 5 Matisyahu songs

  • Esse video eh muitoo massa..!!

  • you soo wrong we are the best country and the god save us all the time.everybody want to hate us but we dont care when the last war begin you gonna sorry im promisse you

  • Comment removed

  • Isreal is the United States best ally in the middle east. I am a W.T.C. vet (I was stationed at gropund zero right after sept 11th). I will never forget how Isreal had our back after we got hit. All the fakistinians where shooting their AK 47s up in the air, catterwalling about they where ha[ppy that we got hit. Isreal hit them all up and down their border. For that reason alone I hug every Rabbi I see.

    Lets go IDF !!!!

  • hates a stronge word, ive bet you have never stepped foot in israel

  • Islam has been waging absolute and total warefare against every one and every thing for over 1450 years. Explain the Gasawatt, riddah wars, the conquering of jersuselem in 636 by caliph umar, conquering of persia( what is now iran), the suffi sultenate in 722(pakistan), the human taxation "jisraah" on eastern europe by the muslim ottoman turks. I could go on and on.

    LETS GO IDF !!!!!!!

  • this man is so great!

  • ummm....MATISYAHU lives 2 houses down from my bubby ( on CROWN strret - ny city!!) MESHIACH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

  • the second verse is really awesome.

    Thats my favorite

    'Religion is like a swimming pool. All the noise comes from the shallow end.'

    True. completely true.

  • this song just awsome, it speaks peace. no matter what religion you follow, human beings want peace. simple as that

    Matisyahu owns

  • I love his music and and I am a muslim,just 2 let you know that religion should not be the issue here.....peace.

  • lovely

  • he's so hot!

  • esto es una buena prueba de hermandad

  • Siempre he creido que judios y musulmanes tenemos mas concidencias que con los cristianos pero finalmente por que nos peleamos?

  • wooooow very good song

  • definitivamente cuando hay talento hay talento y la puta que este tipo le sobra, sin duda alguna es uno de los artistas mas interesantes de los ultimos tiempos y su disco debut "youth" es un prefecto ejemplo de eso, este tema que se encuentra en esa placa en otra version es increible aunque me gusta mas esta ya que explota una de las armas fundamentales de este artista, su banda que sin duda alguna suena extraordinaria la verada como para sacarce el sombrero o en este caso el quipa.

  • jerusalem.....................­........

  • ALL PEOPLE ARE EQUAL I LOVE JEWS MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS , I'm A muslim Thought :)

  • to Lolbarnet2k

    Bless Ya

  • Aos dias antigos, nos iremos retornar sem demora

    Fortalecer a bondade e a generosidade em nosso caminho

    Nos temos viajado de estado para estado

    e não temos entendido o que eles falam

    3000 anos sem um lugar para estar

    e eles querem que eu desista da minha terra

    Você não vê, não é sobre a terra ou o mar

    Não o país mas a moradia de sua majestade

    Reconstrua o templo e a coroa de gloria

    Anos se foram, uns sessenta

  • Queimando no forno neste século

    e o gás tentou me parar, mas ele não pôde me deter

    eu não irei mentir, eu não irei adormecer

    ele virá sobre os mares, sim ele me fará ficar livre

    apague os demônios de sua memória

    mude seu nome e sua identidade

    Medo da verdade e da nossa negra história

    Porque todos sempre nos perseguem

    Cortando as raízes da nossa árvore genealógica?

    Você não sabe que esse não é o jeito de ser

  • i would assume that matisyahu isn't some rebellious spirit and that most orthodox jews appreciate his messages...

  • i'm just wondering- no disrespect at all...

    for all the orthodox jews on youtube, is this kind of music or "hip" style frowned upon by traditionalists and "old guards" of the jewish faith? like for all your grandfathers or rabbis you may know, what do they think of matisyahu?

  • I've heard that a lot of rabbis have told him to use his music to bring a message of peace and love and G-d to the people.

  • im an orthodox jew, and we honestly like him we love the message hes sending

  • I am a christian, and we also love his message.

  • i think everybody loves his message

  • True, but i would think you would agree with me that the religion of Islam does not (naturally)

  • ya ur right i would agree with u

  • my community dont aprove tht much of him not bc of his type of music, but bc he preformes on television.... but otherwise this music is acceptible

  • It's not about the land or the sea not the country but the dwelling of his majesty.

  • im not jewish but this song is aswome. peace in the world

  • I certainly wish that some more of the lost tribes discover themselves again.....We need more true unity and less hair spliting.....

  • jews rock!!!

  • i saw him at the metropolis on wednesday and this song was THE BEST!

  • i think that this is the better version of Jerusalem, i like the up-tempo better

  • love the song. happy Hanukkah on 22nd.Also, I hope it will be my lucky day, due my boy may tell me how is he feeling about me..hugs All

  • happy chanukkah everybody.

  • long live to jewish people

  • we will trust me

  • yes that is the whailing wall!

  • המוזיקה היא נורא, הוא חרא

  • am israel chai...yeroushalayim shel zahav!!!

  • ta kon madre

  • never give in we are the peolpe of jerusalem palestine for ever cast out the overstayed guest

  • you are the overstayed guest! or acctualy you are the overstayed pest that was not invited. you overstayed in israel for 1400 years...

  • Yeah, and made Israel the most liberal and free nation in the Middle East, if not Asia. Bastards!

  • palestine for ever

  • Hold up,isn't that the whailing wall?

  • i'm a germah boy and i want to say that in germany nobody hates jews! wo only hat hitler! we know he was wrong! but today nobody hats jews! we like them! (that was only for the people who think germans are stil nazis. we AREN'T) =)

  • fortunately today almost all think like you my brother

  • GOD BLEEEEESS MATHEW!!!!!!!!!!!! Love HIm..... He got my soul back

  • attacks are the minority. if you took even a partial glance at the religion you are slandering, you would realize this you ignorant piece of shit

  • jerusalem has always been part of the holy land for catholicism, judaism and islam. isreal became a nation after WWII because the UN set it up as a safe haven for jewish refugees because of continued persecution throughout europe. the whole basis of the conflict in israel/palestine is the fact that both of their religions claim the land as their religions holy land. also islam is one of the most peaceful religions that has ever existed. The fundamentalists that are orchestrating terrorist

  • GOD LOCK...STELLERBRAZIL

  • YOU GUYS ALL GOT IT WRONG.

  • Anyone hear what the French prsident said about Iran? Totally agree with him

  • Hej, is this version of Jerusalem available somewhere? I know the one from Youth, but this one is really great.. :)

  • Peace All over the world.

    This Sond is soo lovely

    Peace J-Style

  • This song is so spiritual, not only for jews but for any religion that can understand the true meaning of the song, remember where you're going, NEVER forget where you came from. We are all beautiful in the eyes of God, for he is the true beholder. God bless...

    Light Up the Darkness.

  • una canzone stupenda anche se nn capisco le parole dal video si deduce che racconta del razzismo e dei campi di concentramento

  • impls233:

    u as well. the kingdom of heaven is open to any that beleave in the word of god. i can say i have sinned yet we all fall from the grace of god yet he gives us the chance to redeem ourselves

  • respect is due, i really like this track. deep lyrics, good beat, and originality.

  • hey lots of good conversation going on here! Pretty cool! I love the Bible! Thank you Jews, for writing it ; )

  • dobre żydowskie regge. Popieram:)

  • we are all brothers and sisters if there is a god he is everyones gods we are all the same what happened to love these days unconditional love the love that moves you not because you are forced but because its you...wouldnt that be what god would want us to be

  • Heh, why did the nazis kill Jews? To create a "clean and perfect race" It would be hypocritical to try and do the same by marrying only jews. My family is already Russian/Ukranian/Jewish. I would say 75% Jewish. But who cares about all that stuff. If you read the bible you will see that none of that matters. I like what NextGenReviewers said about being a good person. Its all in the bible. Just read it.

  • the jews are gods children. christians follow the teachings of god and jesus. both are the same and different at the same time. in the eyes of god, we are his creations and his children. Im Irish catholic, but a person chooses what to belive in thats why we have free will.

  • To me I don't care what religion people belive in. I am Christian but I think all you have to do in life is be a good person and not hate people based on their religion or race. I also don't believe god hates gay people or any of that garbage I here some people say. God love people regardless of what you believe or who you are, as long as you are a good person in your life.

  • Countfog please marry a jewish wife or of jewish origion too please ffs

    dont dilute our culture and racaily genetics

    its fine be friends with christians just marry a jew

  • but Judaism is a spirituality, not an ethnicity..? surely a person should marry who they fall in love with regardless of "racial genetics"? imo "racial purity" at the expense of personal freedom is eerily like eugenics

  • Why would you ever say that. Somebody should be able to be friends with or marry whoever they are regardless of race or religion.

  • Beautiful song!!! As Ziggy Marley sang, Shalom/Salaam. Why must 2 nationalities who are so closely related fight? Lets share Jerusalem. I speak as a christian of jewish origin.

  • The ARABS want to steal the Israel Land from the Jews and God give it to the Jews in promise to Abraham.

  • fuck the muslims. reason why the world is at war today.

  • Dude calm down the only reason why u hate muslims is because all news is bias and u never understand why this is all happening it involves propaganda and conspiracy understand what ur talking about before u wanna yell at Muslims

  • i don't give a crap about the news about muslims. what i say is ,,i,, their culture. why it involves suicide/death only to have an eternal salvation with your god.

    mormons are better than these nutjobs.

  • Our god not your God and u misunderstood what I mean. What if your Muslim? How would you handle the situation? Give me a decent answer and dont go out of the topic because it proves that im right and ur wrong just letting you know

  • Our god not your God and u misunderstood what I mean. What if your Muslim? How would you handle the situation? Give me a decent answer and dont go out of the topic because it proves that im right and ur wrong just letting you know

  • the propagant is always with muslims believe me and im not telling all muslims are bad just the ones that are terrorist like the Hamas but people need to understand that Isrel is just defending his self and there are good muslims in the world and that jews are also good people

  • Judaism is a religion, not a race.

  • Actually, after WWII the Jews came over to "Israel" because they didnt have anywhere else to go with the Europeans on their side they took over Palestine. Read ur history before u talk

  • Actually, after WWII the Jews came over to "Israel" because they didnt have anywhere else to go with the Europeans on their side they took over Palestine. Read ur history before u talk

  • iii like it!

  • thanks yeah just listen to the music and calm down... this video makes me sad ..

  • guys just enjoy the music and don´t arguee

  • die your self asshole

  • All religions want the same thing, in one way or another,

    To be better persons.

    To Love everything, to believe, to forgive, to be good.

  • Honestly guys, I don't thik arguing about religion is the right thing to do. We are past that. You just have to enjoy the music.

  • all religions are basically the same shit, who cares, just enjoy the music.

  • true every religions belive in god

  • Christianity may be your light but the torah is my temple

  • dont say shit like that dude. really unnecessary. ur a douche just for saying that.

  • die

  • Jerusalem if i forget u fire not gonna come from me mouth

  • Someone translte this fo me plz

  • ppl, stop bickering like old ladies. why can't we jus love each other

  • i dont understand why people cant just stop and admire things. just take a moment to see others points of view. some people are so closed minded.

  • When we start to see things not because of someone's sex, race, or religion then the world and all the people in it can start fixing this place.

  • hes coming to new orleans sunday and playing at the housse of blues!!! I CAN'T WAIT!

  • the rasmus

  • DisRox, wow. There's no "right" religion and asking someone what the right one is the most tool thing I've ever heard. The fundamentals of a religion is to live it's teaching to live a better life, not because if you pick the wrong one you go to hell for eternity. What has Christianity done for the world other than happy times such as the Dark Ages, killing millions in the name of God. Go ahead and say their charities, they'll give the food to the kids after they join their fucking church.

  • Well why didn't you reply this to me? The first prophet sent to the people of Israel is Jacob يعقوب (pbuh) who Im not sure of, brought the torah, But then rewrote it. There were lots of other prophets sent to them, lets not get into that. The person sent to Christianity is Jesus عيسى (pbuh) and brought the bible and the Christians rewrote it. The person sent to Islam is Mohammed (pbuh) and brought the Quran and still no word has been changed.

  • Dis, Muslims claim that Old Testament and the New Testament has been changed by Christians and Jews, but there is textual evidence of this. If you look at the many manuscripts there is more historical evidence for the validity of the OT and NT than for the writings of Plato or Aristotle. As for the Qur'an, Muslims have been blocking scholars from doing a historical examination of older manuscripts of the Qur'an. The Bible has been examined by scholars for years, but the Qur'an has not been.

  • why is this song different from the other??!?!?!?!?!?!
