cnn.com has a video about the maccabeats if anyone is interested
’bout what??
woohoo! Go yivanim! The maccabeets is only liked because it makes us feel as if we can be like the goyim..We were so excited when they got aired. Why is that?
yashrus20
good point!
yitzchokm- I know this is the wrong thread but…shout out to you!
coffee addict
Once killed a Mountain Lion with his bare hands-That post is a Sheretz biyadeinu! hameivin yavin.
Interested about what?
They have a new chanuka song?
Coffee-
yashrus’s point is still very vaild, regardless of the content of the video!
Coffee-
No matter how you cut it, going on tv to promote a song or singer(s) is Falling in the hellenistic trap, to want to find favor and be like the yivanim
thank goodness gracious YBC or eli gestner or those people have never been on tv or anything.
wait!
they have been.

“ok I see that no one was interested in what it was talking about, just that it was “on TV”
they were actually making an album for bone marrow transplant, which I thought was a big Kiddush Hashem,”
Kiddush Hashem?! Its called a Kosher chazer fissel! (A Kosher pig’s foot)
A mitzvah Habah Beavayrah is not a Kiddush Hashem!
Am I the only one who isn’t a fan. Not for any ideological purposes, I just don’t like their music…
WIY: Mitzvah Haba’ah B’aveira?? Why, because they asked for money online/on tv? Let me know when any Frum institution refuses money unless it comes from someone who doesn’t watch tv/use the internet.
Yes, please do explain.
Sam, and the rest,
Question, Do you think the maccabeats are trying to impress jews or non Jews when going on live tv?
Yitzchokm: I know for a fact that the Maccabeats want Jews to hear and see their videos about the holidays. In this particular instance, since it is a Tzedaka campaign, they would love to reach both.
Sam2,
What you happen to know is irrelevant, since I am writing about their actions, not thoughts.
Copying (“modifying!!” non jewish music, dance styles, makes it (at least) look like they are pandering to the yivanim
Yitchokm: Jewish music throughout all of history has just been taking the Goyish music and using it for purposes of Kedusha (and sometimes not even then).
coffee addict-
ya, your, right. the maccabeats can be compered to Tamar, Yehudis and Esther. And so whatever they do we must not question them.
Sam-
the maccabeats, (see above), are like some gedolim who took non-jewish songs and were mekadish them for us. End of discussion.
Just because others do it, doesn’t make it less of a problem.
Yitzchokm: And what is the problem with it, exactly?
Sam2 –
I think he was being facetious. Not that I agree with his point, at all. I think the Maccabeats are wonderful.
Sam2:
following and emulating the goyim.
Yitachokm: Are you trying to claim there is some Issur of Chukas Hagoyim here? Check out YD 177-179 (give or take) and try and make that claim again please.
When I filtered my water through a filter which was not changed in 8 months it didn’t come out clean. Know why? Because the filter was not pristine and pure. When the Tzadikim filtered songs based on teh Baals Shem Tovs vort of “Kchu Mizimras Haaretz” it was Tzadikim and gedolim filtering, not general public. Know why? Because we need a refined clean untainted pure filter consumed wiht Yiras Shamayim to properly filter. especially for music which is the song of the soul.
Nu nu.
I guess its Traif for the Maccabeats to do this, but its 100% Kosher for Oorah to call itself Kars-4-Kids
The maccabeats is the same as kosher style food. Treif but looks and sounds Jewish. A lot of their music is mostly off of the radio and almost exactly the same except for some clever word changes. Additionally they have performed non Jewish songs with no changes whatsoever. They have music videos with girls in them and they keep pushing the envelope.
They delude themselves and us by calling themselves maccabeats. They should calm themselves misyavnimbeats if they wanted to be honest with themselves and us.
Wow. Just wow. Mods, why are you letting pure, purposeless bashing of Frum people through here? Do any of you think that the Maccabeats don’t ask Shailos (I think to Rav Willig) before they do controversial things?
Zahavasdad,
What is the comparison between the ACTION of the Maccabeats and what Oorah CALLS themselves?
You will never agree on this one. Both sides just have no clue where the other is coming from.
they have a lot of reasons to put this video on TV… we don’t know why they did that…
if you don’t agree with that don’t listen them and don’t watch them even on the internet…
personnally i don’t think its “really jewish music” …but its probably better than a totally goyish music …
maccabeats its also for kiruv i think…so…
The actions of Oorah, they advertise on the Radio and dont tell the goyim where the money is going.
I have no problem with them raising the money and for what its for, but I have a problem with them raising the money and NOT telling people the real purpose and deceiving people
Sam, yes it could be that they asked, and if they did get das Torah, then they are right. I don’t think they did.
Coffee,
I like sarcasm. I use it a lot.
In regards to your comment, the same questions can be asked of the singers you mentioned.
Matsav-
Kriuv? Really? And if it is?!?
Coffee
Writing about Tamar and Esther in the same sentence as the maccabeas calls for sarcasm
i think the real problem its not “this video on TV” but this video and that kind of “jewish music” , and the message they want to get with…
personnally i don’t considerate that like jewish music …
Coffee
Btw, I did watch the segment.
As a side note, re: Jewish music today,
At the rate we’re going, in a few years “orthodox reggae singer/rapper” won’t rise eyebrows.
As it shouldn’t.
Yitta-
Shouldn’t waht?
Raise eyebrows.
