[HebiR]

Absolutely great work! And may I echo the motion for the first song to get a stand-alone?

[Jeremy Gimbel]

We heard you all loud and clear :) "Hello" is now available as a single video.

[Larry Freedman]

Amazing. I bet if you make a short of just the opening song you would be in Maccabeats viral territory.

[Arctophile2000]

This is perfect. I'm switching denominations.

[TheJewaukeela]

Yeah, yeah, they got some things wrong, but who the heck cares? This was hilarious! Love the book of mormon, and I'm jewish. I'm going to show this to all my friends!

[jonty leibowitz]

"Or Poland where they say Oy Vey" killed me :P

[Abe Froman]

I'd love to see the Venn diagram of the 46000 people watching this

[damianhill2009]

and Early Bird Specials.....

[NYCprincess7]

love this:)

[moxxley]

So glad the Word I read does not teach rejection of God's Chosen People but ultimate atonement and salvation from sin through the sacrifice of the Lamb of YHWH, Yeshua Hamashiach, who was Jewish. I love my Lord's promise in Genesis(Bereshit) 12:1-3 to make the children of Abraham into a great nation and "bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." I love you guys!

[Abe Froman]

This is seriously awesome. From a gentile.

[Abe Froman]

I wanna meet some jewish girls!!!!
