#MiamiBoysChoir - an Orthodox Jewish boy band is trending on Tiktok. MBC star #DavidHerskowitz joins us to discuss why and what this means for the Jews!
I 'm not Jew and I didn't even search for this, but somehow RU-vid knew I've been bopping to their songs so hard. David and Jeremy are my fave's but Binyomin is a monster vocalist.
For someone who has been out of the limelight for quite sometime now, David seems pretty confident and cool with this interview. I guess zoom meetings paid off. 😂😂
I love people bringing the K-Pop culture of having a bias (ie your favourite) and bringing that ARMY energy. Also some 1D fandom energy. And I have seen some people doing the various dances from the full video. There is something so pure about the joyous reactions. MBC TikTok is very special. Not everyone gets it on their FYP. It's almost an honour to get it.
I'm not jewish, but bro you rock out with this. I read english translation of the song and it's powerful, hats off to all the boys! David you should get everyone together from that video for a reunion concert, it'll be huge I bet, the video taking off like crazy.
I didn’t realize the song was pro Israel so thank you for explaining this. I am a person that wants Palestine to be free but I would NEVER allow that to justify hate on a video of children singing a happy song :) thank you for this interview it was very pleasant.
These verses are part of Psalms and were written 3000 years ago by King David. The Jewish people have been living in Israel ever since then as the indigenous people of the land, but a sizable portion were violently exiled when Roman colonizers invaded. More Jews returning to our homeland is the greatest story of indigenous people decolonizing themselves in the history of the world. We have prayed thrice daily, facing Jerusalem and asking for our return ever since.
18:00. She hit the nail right on the head. We've all been slogging through a few years with very little joy between Covid, politics, war, etc. I think the fact that so many of us didn't understand the lyrics may have actually helped to make it go viral. There's a bit of innocence and pure joy in all of those kids in the video, and the world needed a mass infusion of both of those things.
Strangely enough, I first heard Yerushalaym in Second Life last autumn. A DJ played it at a dance club I host. The whole crowd went wild. We were all who is that, they're awesome. So next day I looked it up on RU-vid because I don't TikTok. I'm an old lady. Enough. And then I was mesmerized. All you adolescent boys singing your hearts out. So I went down the rabbit hole of Miami Boys Choir and watched the videos, and listened to the interviews. I'm not jewish, I'm not even abrahamic in any way. But spirituality is very important to me and the joyous spirituality of the choir made my heart sing. I don't think it's like "'cone." Not at all. This is real talent, directed by real talent (ok, the choreography is nerdy and I love it). It's not a bad idea to have some graduate mix some of the songs. Thank you so much for this, Ms. Jew In The City.
