Erran Baron Cohen - "Dreidel" (feat. Jules Brookes & Y-Love)

[chabi3000]

I dont get it , why are jews making such a big deal out of being jewish ?

[smunkes]

why is this guy spray painting jesus in hebrew on the wall??

[MoshiB9865]

@smunkes It's similar but the last letter wouldn't be there. It says Joshua in a shortened spelling (like Josh)

[talistarmusic]

[GanjaaaSmoker]

@Cyclopentanoperhydr Yes it is jiddish. But it's a litte similar to german. For germans jiddish sounds a bit funny. It's the same with dutch and swiss german...

[normandy726]

[tiptoe221]

And who's that dude with the same shaped nose, eh? ;-)

[ilirross]

why do jews play with draidels?

[Kuastoyn]

@ilirross It's a old jewish game

[hirogerthisisme]

@ilirross it celebrates the Channuka holiday and reminds us of its miracles. 2nd temple, the greeks took over Jerusalem and wishing to annhilate the roots of judaism, banned all religious observance, incl. the study of Torah. The dreidel was a secret way to retain a jewish identity. Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet: נ (Nun), ג (Gimel), ה (Hei), ש (Shin), which together form the acronym for "נס גדול היה שם" (Nes Gadol Hayah Sham – "a great miracle happened there").

[centropesq]

This video is giving double message and judaism dont give double messages.

[MordechaiKestecher]

at first I thougt this was made by some americans... but if u look at the notes they put down at the beggining its english mony... and most of the filming in the street is stamford hill

[hcig]

[FeedingANDteachingLA]

London for Sure

[learose19]

THis is fricken awesome!!!! Love that they put yeshua on the wall!!!

[rzldzl122]

@learose19 the yesua reference is to Jules Brooks Hebrew name, nothing to do with Jesus.

[mcavipk]

למה הם רושמים יש"ו ? !? ?

[aarontrank]

Yeshuah means salvation "ישועה"

Yeshua is Jesus the Messiah "ישוע"

[romankri]

VERY NICE,GOOD CLIP!!

[Indygoguy]

One has to admit that this is a great version of the dreidel song. They wrote Yeshua on the wall (Jesus), it's either supposed to be a joke because an orthodox Jw would never write that or Cohen is a Messianic Jew. Anyone know which it is?

[bestfootie]

Yeshuah does not only mean a naughty boy of around 2,000 years ago. The word is said many times a day be Jewish people in prayer and it means 'salvation', it is a word that Jewish people attribute to G-d, as well as to the redeemer of the Jewish people and the world, may he come speedily in our days.

[HidekiRevan]

@Indygoguy I guess they wanna seem like "outlaws"

[jaxmyers]

This video rocks! That Dreidel song is totally hip now!

[awakenpictures]

This is a great video. Yes, the Messianic believers do make a valid point here that they are caught between both religions and have no place to go. This is the subject of a documentary/web series I'm working on about non Jewish people in the Messianic movement. But whether Jew or Gentile, there's a difficulty when they're caught between both worlds.

[AniSky9]

The first Believers or "Christians" were Jewish. I don't know why Jewish believers are called traitors. As a Messianic Jew, we are not accepted by anyone it seems. To Catholics and most Christians we are simply Jewish and shunned, to the Jews we are traitors and shunned. : / Where's the love?

[lonismom10]

yeah, people are just moronic....can't fix stupid....it is true that the first Christians WERE JEWS, because they were ones that actually knew Christ and the whole shebang happened in Judea.....sometimes I wonder how people function in this world without the significant gray matter to put two thoughts together....

[wolf2728]

Shalom! Come get your love! no i dont work for Alltel!!!!! lol but you said a mouth full! Im a Messianic Jew! not only am i stuck between my 2 families see im 1/2 jew but then you add being a Messianic Jew into the mix! oh were do we fit in? not here for sure! but we press on! so Shalom! and Happy Hanukkah! one more night to go~! i must win back my coins!!!! lol

[calacheryl]

despite all the uneducated racist comments this will receive, this is a marvelous entertaining video

[volapuk49]

The word he is writing on the wall says, yeshua. This means jesus. Not funny and definitely not Jewish.

Do these morons think that they are Jewish? They are traitors and apparent jesus lovers.

What idiots.

[sccrsctt36]

ישו (Yeshu)

is Jesus

not ישוע (Yeshua)

[Indygoguy]

Yeshua is the hebrew word for salvation or savior. The greeks translated it as Iesus, and that was translated into English as Jesus.

[spbfsmim989]

1:25 --> chronica, channukah!

[PlatypusMan232001]

Wow.

[shitAintRight]

as a jew, i hate the way hannukkah is celebrated in america. but that's a hot version of a terrible song

[NiftyNataliePollock]

I love this ....wow....

[ovanklot]

A couple more things I noticed at second glance:

* At the lower right corner of the graffiti, next to the Star of David, they added "עם ישראל חי" ('the people of Israel live'), which is actually a very common graffiti in Israel.

* They're playing with Israeli-made dreidels (One of them stops on a פ (for פה - 'here') where there should have been a ש (for שם - 'there') if it was foreign). I'm not sure whether this is an inside-joke or not.

[ovanklot]

The graffiti on the wall was:

"ישוע" (Jesus's Hebrew name)

"שתמפורד היל" (Incorrectly spelled "Stamford Hill")

"Stamford Hill" (home to Europe's largest Hasidic Jewish community)

My guess would be that the Jesus graffiti was an inside joke - anyone who doesn't know what the word spelled would just shrug it off as something in Hebrew-looking letters, while those who did know would laugh since it's probably the last tag a Hasidic Jewish person would draw.

[moldyearwax]

@ovanklot Well, if it was a joke, it was in very poor taste. The whole point of this holiday is that we are celebrating the fact that we were able to practice our OWN religion, and these jerks have the nerve to use it to try and sell theirs.

[Kuastoyn]

@moldyearwax I really just think they did it for the hell of it.

[ovanklot]

@moldyearwax you are aware the Baron Cohens are Jewish, right? :)

[moldyearwax]

@ovanklot Yes, I'm aware. So was Jesus.

[shdeen]

English translation of the rap: (Chanuka, oh chanuka, a beautiful holiday, A joyous one, a merry one, there is no other like it, Every night of chanuka we play the dreidel, And we eat piping hot delicious latkes. Come children, come quick, let's light the chanuka candles, Sing 'Al Hanisim', and thank God for the miracles, And let us all dance together.) There's also an English version sung to the same tune, which is more widely known: Chanuka, oh chanuka, come light the menorah... etc. etc.

[shdeen]

And for those interested, Y-Love's yiddish rap is a take on the old Hasidic kids' classic:

Chanuka, oh chanuka, a yom tov a sheine,

A lustige, a freiliche, nishtu noch a zeine,

Ale nacht in dreidel shpilen mir,

Heise frishe latkes, esen mir.

Kumtz kinder, geshvinder,

di chanuka lichtelech untzinden,

Zingts Al Hanisim, un dankts far di nisim,

Un lomir alle tantzen tzuzamen.

(See English translation in next comment.)

[beetleguy79]

@shdeen thanks

[shdeen]

fuckin awesome. Except what's up with the 'Yeshua' grafitti? Is Baron Cohen in Jews for Jesus?

[tal32123]

thats what i thought but his last name is cohen

[GordonWayneWatts]

@shdeen - Y'shua was a Jew, so this is not out of place. While most 'Christians' see Y'Shua as a 'Saviour,' ('Triumphant Messiah' in ISAIAH 53:12 "Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;"), Y'Shua was also a good role model for us in his love for others, and he suffered. Assuming Y'Shua returns to fulfil 53:12, he would also fulfil ISAIAH 53:3-5 -regarding his having sufferer. -QUESTION: Are there 2 Messiahs (suffering & triumphant)??

[rzldzl122]

@GordonWayneWatts  It has nothing to do with Jesus- It s Jules Brooks(the other guy in the video) Heberw name- as in Joshua.

[GordonWayneWatts]

@rzldzl122 - Interesting. Thx 4 replying to me & LeaRose19 on this point.

[moldyearwax]

@rzldzl122 Even if that's true, it would be spelled יהושע, not ישוע

[thawthepast]

cool

[Yaeli80]

This is actually quite good!

[alfredbites]

the rap is in yiddish

[cynemsa]

LOVE IT

[redgoochland]

lol should i send this to my local chabad???

[centropesq]

@redgoochland I would like o know what your rav said, The song is very very atractive, but I doubt this guy is jew!

[centropesq]

@redgoochland I would like to know what your rav said, I doubt this guy is jew

[MegaNeilFan]

@centropesq Yes he is: he's a Sephardic Jew. He's also Sacha Baron Cohen's brother.

[centropesq]

@MegaNeilFan By deffinition a jew is waiting for messiach, the world is still a mass, no connection with J C. If hes seffaradi why hes dressing like a chassid' AND using jewish values to propagate cristianity?

Chanuca has no message of salvation, but of lightning the light of a dark world we dont use the word ieshua as a music or sound for nothing

[titto1210]

not funny at all

[NT333]

they are talking gibrish in hebrew and the word they wrote on the wall was jesus -_-

[1animeaddict]

no. they didn't. take it from someone who can read Hebrew.

[NT333]

im talking hebrew -_- the only word i could understand from the rap part was the word kinderlach and that kids in yidish (i think)... and they wrote salvation, and that jesus real name ("ישוע")

[1animeaddict]

i didn't know that was his real name.

[alfredbites]

that guy raps in like 5 different languages

[bntw82]

pretty damn good, and really funny! Finally we have something other than that lame Adam Sandler song.
