Being more “in-sync” (ha) with israeli music this Chevra song/video is new to me, but i really enjoyed. Kinda too bad about the old skool hebrew tho.

Jobber- well, I don’t know if it helps, but he’s at #8 and #9 for 106.7KROQ’s most played list, #5 on their most requested list, and #1 on their most selling list. KROQ is pretty much the biggest radio station in Southern Cali, so maybe you can listen online or something. But this post isn’t about Matis… sorry…

This video is a-freaking-dorable. Not the clueless guy; the yeshiva youngsters.

Loved it. But you know, I am concerned about the cultural appropriation aspect… This guy is not raised Jewish, does not understand being Jewish. He is white- a white man capitializing on a disenfranchized minority… disgusting

Oh Esther, you are so naive. Surely you’ve learnt by now that every post on this site is at most 1 degree of separation from titsyahu.

esther – thank you so much! everyone was talking about this video at shabbat dinner last friday and i couldn’t find it anywhere because somehow i can’t spell “lecha” or “chevra.”

Wow. Somewhere a yeshiva bochur is lip synching to Menudo…

I actually really liked the spontaneity and non-choreography–the energy seemed really natural and authentic. (Admittedly, part of that is the song itself.)

MTV2 seems to have a harder edge, which M doesn’t IMHO meet, which is probably why you haven’t seen it. I have a brother who works at MTV and assures me that it’s in heavy rotation over there. And as far as the radio’s concerned, Z100 (in NYC) plays it every hour or so. (Or at least it feels like every hour.)

But this thread isn’t about Matisyahu…

Love the Chevra, don’t know why the Rabbi had to diss them last week.

BTW, where and when is Matisyahu on the radio or MTV2? I never ever hear him and I do listen for him.

I play this game, I listen for Reggae music and then wonder, is this Matisyahu? Will they tell the audience. this is in the NY area. I listened to most of Jeff Sarges program on WFMU on Sunday, nothing, I tried a new station, 105.9 that says it does Reggae, Z-100, 103.5, MTV, bupkis.

Not saying I don’t believe the hype, but want once to hear him on these media.

If Jewlicious can have a shiksa cover-girl, why can’t a goy sing in Hebrew?

My goodness…Do you think it’s time they offered dance lessons in yeshiva?

Annoying when it’s not related. Appreciated when it is. Besides, I just linked back to one of my posts in a comment on some other thread…

And yes, great minds…

Hey Esther. Sorry, I know it's annoying when people link back to their own blogs, but check out the second-to-last paragraph on this post, and the comment. What can I say, great minds think alike.
