Sam there is no question that you are a non Jewish music listener in which case this argument is useless – you will never understand until after you realize whats wrong with non Jewish music.
We are Jews and we are supposed to keeping to ourselves and not sticking ourselves into the face of the Goyim. Nothing good can come out of this – only bad.
(This is of course besides the point that frum children and others are being introduced to a TV show full of the low culture of today that they would have never been introduced before)
This is very simple.
For those who listen and think non Jewish music is acceptable – Matisyahu will always be ok
For those who do not listen to non Jewish music and want a Jewish Ta’am to their music – Matisyahu will never be ok
Nothing has changed, this is not about whether he is wearing a yarmulka or not. His music has no Jewish feeling to it just as so many other “jewish” productions today.

i think its amazing how all you guys know her…i just spoke to her a few days ago and she told me about the book she is writing, sound really interesting. She is extremely appealing to the teenage audience who need someone to identify with. She is not one of those types who seems out of touch with what she is speaking about. I wish her the best of luck in the future!
ultimate – when did you you hear her speak?
Alti is the best:) Good friend of mine
i believe the expression is: play by Ear
Rabbi Avigdor Miller said in response to a question that one who smokes does not deserve a shidduch.
I love how everyone makes hetairim for this issue. Ive heard some amazing ones. Like, Well the producer is not making money off cds anymore anyway so Im not making it any worse then it is. Or Ive heard – I would not have bought it anyway so its ok to copy. And many many more out there I just cant think of this second. Its assur, its a fact, but people will not change no matter how much everyone screams and yells. Baruch Hashem you cant copy full books yet but I think well get there soon.
besalel what do you mean by try?
Give the guy a break! So he thought it would be nice to cover two songs to add his own flavor to it. And it had nothing to do with the copying. Im sure he had plenty of songs to choose from and the issue wasnt spending the few extra dollars on buying another song.
What bothered me was the lack of the essence of being a frum jew. When somebody would watch that they would say – ok – thats a nice families with nice values and interesting customs. Was their one mention of the reason behind our religion. How we follow the torah that was passed down for generations from Hashem Himself. She referenced the “books’ on the wall but there was not one mention of the importance of the Torah. That is the source of everything they discussed there! There was not one mention of the reason why Judaism is the absolute truth and the purpose of our religion. We are not just a religion of “good values” – im sure you will find people in China who preach values as well. Are we the same as the Amish? No! There is a deeper meaning. I dont think this interview was harmful in any way but I think they missed the main point.
I think high school girls worship snow the most

I bet you had no clue that your post would be this popular when you posted your first post -_-
popa – saying that the reason girls learn navi is that they dont understand gemara is completely false. There are many reasons why women dont learn gemara but not being able to understand it is not one of the reasons.
I liked Gingrich from the beginning. He is easily the most intelligent and capable of all those who stand on the debate stages. He has a very blunt sense of humor and I am not sure if he is personable enough to be president but time will tell. As for his baggage, his personal life I dont think will be too detrimental since people right now just want a capable guy. clinton also had a crazy background but he was elected anyway because he did the job. It might be a problem however if its brought out that he is unreliable like many reports now are saying. Ill be very interested to see how he handles himself in the next debate. I cant imagine him ever getting rattled, and I cannot imagine anyone on that stage starting up with him. Time will tell.
I did not see it but personally I do not understand why Gingrich is not popular. He is easily the most intelligent, he is very personable, he does not resort to attacking his fellow candidates, and has a very good sense of humor. I happen to like Cain as well, and these recent allegations urge me to send him a check not change my opinion of him. I think Gingrich is not getting as much attention as he deserves.
Baruch Hashem and may it be the same for the Rest of Klal Yisroel
just dont post it on youtube..
not ignore but put clearer ones that rabbanim are speaking out against in our priority…thats why the rabbanim are makbid with that but dont necessarily preach it to us..because they are on a much higher level then us. Also: each person has to decided where they are and decided what they are going to strive for.
there are so many problems in the world today…children going off the derech..goyish music infiltrating into jewish music and home…tzaros…ect..why waste time discussing a possible issur that whether right or not that basically 99 percent of the jewish world is not and will not get on any time soon the level to keep. Lets make sure that our children grow up to be Benai Torah and Shomrei MItzvos – Hashem would rather have that from us right now then start assuring music entirely. If we can get every other aspect of our lives perfect Halivai! then maybe we can worry about that too
This song was never on a cd – I dont know where you got that from… Anyway this song does not match my username I will tell you that…but if you like it then enjoy it.
In a strange way I feel that “jewish music” or so its called that has not yiddishe hartz is more dangerous then non jewish music. Of course non jewish music is based on values the opposite to jewish values however most frum jews understand it to be wrong and therefore have a strong conscience against it. However the ones that become accepted in the jewish world are forcing these values into our ears without us thinking twice about it and we dont have to feel guilty. I know many stories of friends of mine who heard “jewish music” like this that eventually led them to non jewish music since they grew up quite sheltered and these hip songs appealed to them and they followed that path without knowing it was wrong until they came face to face with the real thing.
‘Mod 42 do you have the cd on a computer that you can email it to me? As a mod you would have my email address no?’
Thats kind of geneiva. People today dont understand that just because you own something it does not give you the right to send it to all your friends. Its because of this that our jewish music markey is flooded with junk when the kings of music dont make albums because it doesnt pay
