This Yemenite Jewish Kohen family is special in that it is among only a handful who have preserved a documented genealogy of patriarchal ancestors going all the way back to Aaron himself, the brother of Moses. A Kohen is a member of the people of Israel who is of direct patriarchal descent from Aaron (Aharon) the brother of Moses. The Almighty selected the descendents of Aaron as an EVERLASTING priesthood (Ex. 29:9, 40:15; Num. 25:13). Here they are fulfilling the divine command to recite the blessing commanded in Numbers 6:24-26, as follows: May YHWH bless you and guard you
יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ May YHWH make His face shine on you and show favor to you
יָאֵר יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ May YHWH lift up His face on you and give you peace
יִשָּׂא יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם

  • What is the aim of this particular prayer/blessing?

  • @benshehzad

    The Almighty commanded the sons of Aharon

    (Aaron) that they say this blessing to the children of Israel.

    The Blessing is a reminder that the Creator is the ultimate source of all blessing and goodness, and that ultimate peace only comes from connecting one's life to His ways.

  • Trust me man, you're not alone in the journey to G-d's side...

  • @omedyashar

    By the way, in accord with the level of pride which you've oozed from your finger tips, you should already be in an exalted enough state of being wherein you should be well aware of the variance of opinions among the meforshim on pisqei halakha.

  • @Madkre8tor lol i know, it seems ridiculous but this is middle eastern culture and how usually the songs and poems sound jewish or arabic

  • @YKahen so being totally off-key is the Yemenite singing style? LOL

  • @Madkre8tor this is yemenite "singing" style...it's the way it's supposed to sound lol, besides it's strictly for Hashem. If you dont understand what I just said, you're probably not of the Jewish faith or simply aren't even religious...so i can understand :)

  • I've heard many Jewish prayer services, but these ppl need serioulsy some more singing lessons.

  • great, but im surprised how the kohanim can still gather without the rebuiliding of the Temple...? i

  • I don't think any decent human being, regardless of belief would use a language and disrespect any ones belief. Now that is what you wrote on a channel that was stupid already. Seems like you are spending a lot of time checking any post that has any thing to do with Islam, even if is a misrepresentation. I mean look what you wrote and what you claim to be. SHAME ON YOU!!!

    pisslam bloody pedophile worship...fucking dirty black stone...
