Ah Yid - Yaakov Shwekey (Music Video) | Reaction 

Yakov shweky has a wonderful song called "we are a miracle". Another beautiful song by the yeshiva Boys Choir called "daddy come home". Please add to reacting list 🙏

"I can be" by schwecky is emotional..... you will love it! Thumbs up 👍 if you want to see a reaction to it..... the music video is incredible.

As a religious Jew so great to see your curiosity, we love the questions and interest. Also, love your point about male comradery, so often people criticize Jews for having men and women separate for different occasions, but there is a huge benefit for the men to have their time together as men without feeling pressured to look good for the girls, and the same for the girls, they can really develop to be uniquely themselves without feeling the pressure to impress or compete with other girls, it’s a happy healthy way to grow, especially as a teen, and as an adult it keeps marriages intact.

Was looking forward to more videos. As a Jewish orthodox guy, it is awesome to see someone not from our community and culture enjoying Jewish music. The guy in the beginning is an actor and not Yaakov Shwekey. This song is basically saying that it's awesome to be a jew because we have so much good things (Mitsvos) we do that makes us happy. You definitely will get new subscribers and much more views. Your videos and reactions to our music is just so much fun to watch. Keep'em coming. You already reviewed in the past Mordechai Schapiro and Benny Friedman, this video is a colab between the 2 of them, I'm sure you will love it, it's called L'chai Olamim.

A bit unfair to rate Shwekey on this video which is not made by him, rather by an Orthodox sleep away camp. Check out his channel on RU-vid for his actual content. Has some great live performances etc

The Jewish school is called a Yeshiva and they're studying in pairs which is the classic way of learning Torah. The outfit they're wearing is the classic dress code for many circles in the orthodox-Jewish community. The shawl is called a tallis and its worn during prayers with tefillin. The boxes are part of the tefillin and inside are pieces of parchment with select portions of scripture. (Mezuzos as well, have portions of scripture inside.) The "pool" is called a mikvah used for ritual purification. It can be for certain objects or people, though its a complicated subject so I would leave all the details for the experts (I'm sure there are video explanations out there) Yaakov Shwekey is singing but he isn't in the video. I do suggest you look for more of his content because he has plenty of different kinds of songs (some in English), there are live performances and he's is without a doubt one of the greatest Jewish performers of today. I am seriously impressed with how much you've picked up from watching these few videos! Loving it! 😄

So this is a typical "yeshiva" scene (boys highschool). The song is pumpin. As far as shwekey's music videos go though.... I wouldn't put it in his top ten.... I'd recommend his song called "cry no more" OR "we are a miracle". Couple of tear-jerkers.

Plzzz react to HANAN BEN ARI to "Amen al hayeladim "or to "shvurei lev". We want israeli singers...lol

The thing the boy put over his head is called a tallis. It is similar to tzitzis in that it has four corners with strings but the tallis is worn more like a shawl and is only worn during prayer. The tzitzis are worn all day. The pool is a mikvah, a ritual bath. Men dip in it, some every day, some just before shabbos, and some just before holidays. Married women are required to dip in it at certain times (a week after having a period to put it simply, but it is a little more complex than that). And when buying new utensils, dishes, etc they are dipped in the mikvah before they are used.

Plzzzz react to hanan ben ari ...

You're pretty fast catching up our culture and language congratulations!! Love your content keep it up..

Another recommendation for a song by Yaakov Shwekey is the song "Rachem" a relatively old song but very moving!!

This is a cover of the song Ah Yid from Yaakov shwekey done by a yeshiva. Yaakov shwekey isn't in this one

You should change the title. This is a cover video. You should watch an actual Schwekey video. And to help you Te-fil-lin.

be sure to watch yaakov shwekey, "baruch hashem its shabbos ". its one of his newest videos. and he is present throughout the video. you will not be let down. thx for your videos.

Studying together with a partner to figure out what the Talmud means is a big part of traditional education for Orthodox Jewish men. (It was not considered for women in the past, though there are some modern orthodox schools where women study Talmud nowadays. Nonetheless, videos made for widespread orthodox viewing are unlikely to feature anything considered controversial). We feel that studying Torah and understanding Talmud brings true joy, working hard to understand G-d's laws is an intellectual way of connecting with G-d. And it's not uncommon at all if we (or or kids) finally grasp something after trying to figure it out, to for example smack the study table, smile, and loudly say "oy, the pshat is so geshmak!" or something like that. (In English "wow, that explanation is SWEEEET!") So we definitely associate study with joy. In fact, one of our first blessings made every morning is a plea that G-d make His Torah sweet (enjoyable) to us.... That said, we don't usually erupt in spontaneous dancing WHILE studying. But we DO dance like crazy with the Torah on a holiday which just passed, indicating that joy. (And we hand out candies to kids to strengthen the association of Torah with sweetness, although I'm a dentist so i let others hand out the twizzlers 😄 and lollipops) You can see a bit of a depiction of that celebration in the M.Shapiro and Benny Friedman video which a few have recommended.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zyxAQ8RpzPI.html .... though in reality, the dancing is with actual Torah scrolls......

As someone who has been really enjoying your videos, I was very disappointed with this video. This is not an official video from shwekey. He also has a ton of live content. Search Yaakov Shwekey, you’ll find his channel immediately. He has plenty of live content for you to review

As an amateur musician I just wanna add an ethno-musical note here. Shwekey's Family roots are in the Syrian Jewish community. ( Which is now largely in Brooklyn, New York and Deal, New Jersey). Many of his traditional Hebrew songs (example Rachem) are sung in the ashkenazi musical style. (Ashkenaz technically refers to originating in Germany, but is largely used to apply to Jews of European origin; and much of the more traditional style of Jewish music that we hear is actually associated more with Eastern European and Slavic influences than Western). In any case, this song kind of shows another 'specialty' of Schwecky, singing songs which musically mix elements of an Ashkenazi influence (most of the words in the song including Yid are Yiddish, in other words a European Jewish language that was virtually unheard of in the middle east), while the chorus 4:14 has a decidedly middle eastern sound (it actually utilizes a mode which is not at all Western, musically), a nod to his ancestors Syrian roots.

Yaakov shwekey does not appear in the video I believe this is a camp music video they used his song Check out his songs: 🌟 Baruch Hashem it's shabbos: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YG0lbfGUpwU.html 🌟 A Toast To Life 🌟 here's a live concert: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JTIlEJkLsdU.html 🌟 m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q44p4dbG2GI.html Gad Elbaz appears in the video he's more of a pop early 2000's vibe with a Israeli twist. Nissim Black is a completely different genre to check out.

I dunno tell me if I’m wrong but something tells me you have Jewish soul.. tell me if I’m wrong but it amazes me your interest in Judaism and Jews, feels like your part of the family.. definitely a brother either way 💙

Hey, love your videos it’s really cool what you do. If you wanna check out more of him, the song cry no more is definitely a great one. Keep up the great work!!

Shwekey is honestly the goat of Jewish music, I'm surprised you didn't find a live show of his he's phenomenal live

If you are looking for a good Yaakov Shwekey live performance, look up Mi Sheberach Live In Nokia 2013

yaakov shwekey it could be you

This is Cry No More live: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hor08kFbK3Q.html incredibly beautiful song!! Here is one of his new ones: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q44p4dbG2GI.html

I don’t think this is Shwekey’s official video for this song. This seems to be a group of Yeshiva boys together with their Rebbe having fun and making their own video to this song. Shwekey does not appear in this.

I love your reaction videos on Jewish music! Subscribed! 👍

Please react to "unity official music video" It's also a diferent song by a collection of singers. Very good as well

9:48 - In a traditional culture, men can trust other men. So these Jewish music videos promote authentic brotherhood.

2:02 - It could be a Yeshivah for males, it could be a summer camp, and/or it could be a gathering (weekly). It could even be all of them!

In Yiddish, "A Yid" is a Jew.

Thank you so much for checking out this video!!! My favorite!!🔥🔥👌

Hi, thanks for all the videos!!! It amazing 🤩 keep going 💪 Btw you should try more lipa schmeltzer, you'll enjoy him a lot

This video portrays a "Lithuanian" style (aka "Yeshivish") yeshiva setting. It's ultra-orthodox, but not chassidic. The males wear white shirts, dark pants, and Italian fedoras. Instead of long side-curls, they have shorter ones tucked behind the ears, if at all. The Lithuanian Yeshiva culture is hyper-focused on studying (mainly Talmud). Whereas Chassidic culture, while also placing importance on Talmud study, is more multi-faceted and complex.

The ‘’ pool’’ is called a Mikva it’s a place to purify yourself

This is a good recommendation from Yaakov Shwekey (and from various artists) SHWEKEY - I Can Be "UNITY" Official Music Video (search these keywords in RU-vid should be the first result) p.s. and please before you do a reaction video I think it would be better if you make sure the song is in English so you can react better to the music. ❤❤❤❤

Wow you really pay attention to all the details 😂 Yes the water is special, it's called a micveh and we dip in it to purify ourselves. It's primarily rain water that wasn't tampered with by humans and some just regular water (and a shit ton of chlorine since COVID 😅)

Can you please react to an actual music video made by Yaakov Shwekey? Or to one of his concerts? You can just search in his channel.

chayim means life its a small yeshiva aJewish learning school for men and boys

And regarding the learning. It is a Beit Medrash. Where you study torah. 2 people learn together and do a lot of argument which is generally meant to help understand the context. So it is all with love. For a Jewish boy the learning itself is a lot of fun but generally there isn't any music or dancing in a Beit Medrash. So the guitars and dancing were only for the music video

Someone probably explained it but we dip new utensils in a mikvah. And we also dip ourselves in a mikvah (generally without clothes lso instead of dipping just the utensil he decided to dip his whole body

Great video, but even greater is hearing your comments/questions/reactions!!! Thanks for sharing.

I want to be your on call Rabbi 😂

Please react to Yaakov shwekey "I can be"

6:00 - The Mezuzah is what hangs on the door. It's mentioned in the written Torah.

6:30 - The Tallit is under the category of clothing that has Tsitsit (strings attached to four-corner garments). The Tallit is more formal and used for prayer. It's not worn beyond prayer (unless you're one of those who would wear one the entire Sabbath day).

Malchus is the division in the camp that made the video

vehe sheamda yakov shwekey and yonatan razel live park

Hey man, really enjoying the videos. I am a Jew from South Africa. Please react to Sos Tosis by Eli Marcus. It’s a really happy song and one that will make you dance.

Yaakov Shwekey not in this video. Lip synced

Heres the deal with the knife. When we buy new dishes, we purify them by dipping them in the mikva (the special pool) before use. So the kid was going to dip a knife in the mikva (as if it was new). Once he got there, he decided to jump in as if he was purifying himself. In actual reality, there are times when men go to the mikva for symbolic purification. However, that's not done while wearing clothing like in this video.

Lmao the reaction to the guitar had me 😂. Smooooth

you gotta check out Shwekeys "i can be"

Please please Beri weber riboin official video please please please

Where in Canada are you from? i love the 'eh' lol

TCT Legends!!!! Let's gooooo🔥🔥🔥

that is a regular jewish school called yeshiva. They usually study talmud and/or philosophy and they are arguing( having discussion) because a fundamental part of judaism is to ask questions which leads to better understandings

Check out the video ''we are a miracle'' from Yakov schweky the song is in English so you will understand

The studying part is the typical way the boys prepare for class. And no, the guitar stuff is just for the video.

If u want am english version of yaakov shwekey listen to a wonder of life also could could u please please please react to fighter by yaakov shwekey???

The pool of water that the boy jumping into its called a "mikvah". It is used for cleaning and purification, for people (in an impure state) and before using a new tool. Our sages compared that as the "mikvah" cleanses the impure, Almighty God cleanses and purifies the Israelites (the Jewish people). So since the video talks about how fun it is to be an "Id" (Jew) I believe they are symbolizing this idea when the boy comes to purify the new knife in the "Mikvah", he ends up jumping into himself.

The outfits is the typical Sabbath dress for all men and boys.

Call Shaya

Oh and the boys are in yeshiva studying Gemara. Yeshiva is where boys and then men study religion and it's actually not just a Sunday thing but full time. And honestly I have no idea how to explain Gemara 😅

Check out Yiddish nachas latest video you'll be blown away

3:45 - Those are the more formal wear in today's Jewish world.

Yakov sheweky dose sing it live with Yiddish nachas. Yakov shweky is not in the video idk why. Also u want to c yakov shweky singing this song live type in a yid by yakov shweky live with Yiddish nachas.

Yaakov shwekey has a song called “we are a miracle” it’s a fantastic emotional song, check it out!

8:57 - Ritual bathing. Although, no one goes there with their shoes on...

daddy come home is a song you should deffinetly react to

Adamah v'shamayim is a good song by Matt Dubb

Levi robin is the man. Give him a try. You won’t regret it

The thing over his head is a talis/talit depends on if you are American or Israeli, and it's an extra piece the men wear during the morning prayer, and depending on your custom they start using it either after they turn 13 or after they get married.

You also have to check out Ari goldwag

And yes they look great in the outfits and they wear them every day ever in the middle of the summer, I honestly don't know how they do it 😂😂

Check out "we are miracle" "et rekod"

listen to Dovid Gabay

5:40 - The box is the tefillin.

Check out the kinderlach they have a lot of live performance

Mordichai Shapiro and Benny Friedman have a new song together , amazing one . Also mordichai Shapiro has really amazing music and you should Watch his other music videos .( besides the one you commented on)

This is taking place at a yeshiva, Jewish school. Talis is the men's prayer shawl, they also have tzitzit on them. Tefillin, is the leather band wrapped around head and arms for prayer, signifying every action is controlled by Torah, GD.

Beri weber plese

Yaakov shwekey did not appear in the video. In the video you saw guys sitting and studying Gemara in a yeshiva. The guy put a tallit on his head. the tzizit you wear all the time. But with the tallit you pray. At the end of the song the guy jumped into a small pool.. it's called a "mikvah". In a mikvah there is water that purifies a person before prayer in the morning or before Shabbat or on days like Yom Kippur. Women also use the mikvah but for other things... And finally, there is a lot of joy and an optimistic outlook in the Jewish world that stems from faith in God. A person believes that everything that happens is for the best and with God's help.... and no, no one takes out a guitar and starts playing in the middle of a Gemara lesson .lol.

If you liked the style of multiple singers : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F_iZJnFyxOY.html This song is alo a collaboration of different singers It's from 12 years ago. It's old so the quality is not good Fun fact my father appears at 3:03 , he was running the choir . You will see some singers you recognize.
