*THE GOSPEL* there is a God in Heaven, He created us, we were created to worship Him, enjoy Him, and delight in Him, but because of our rebellion and sin, we were thrust from the thrice holy Presence of GOD, making us enemies of our Creator, deserving of death and eternal damnation in hell. however, the LORD GOD, out of His compassion, love, and mercy gave His only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST, to take on human flesh. Christ came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His Life as a Ransom for many. Christ died on the cross because of our sins, the Just for the unjust, the Sinless for the sinful, the Righteous for the unrighteous, and He was risen to life for our justification, to make us right with GOD. by the grace of God through faith, we can be reconciled to our Creator through our Savior, Who is both LORD and God. - JESUS CHRIST is LORD and He loved us while we were still sinners to die for our sins and be raised from the grave for our justification as the sinless, perfect Lamb of GOD, Who takes away the sin of the world, fulfilling the righteousness that the law requires, which we, sinners by nature, could never fulfill. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD. however in this present age, we may now be saved by the grace of GOD through faith in Him alone, followed by the act of repentance or the turning away from all of our sins. we must be born again. JESUS CHRIST is the Way and the Truth and the Life. ✝️
I love how people are going crazy about this key change which is a standard style in Jewish music! (Dropping out some of the backing instruments previously, then bringing them back a half-step higher). Many MBC songs use it, as well as almost every other artist from the time.

Words cannot describe how incredible these boys are. They ate with a capital A, and left no crumbs behind. Dude. Please perform at my wedding. I am Camden Abdull, signing out.
Being agnostic, I cannot imagine how proud their parents not only feel about their kids but their religion and community. Being young and different from other kids is very hard especially in America yet all of these kids looked so proud as they sung in Hebrew, absolutely beautiful.
I'm a Binyomin stan, but they all have their talents. I feel like Yoshi and C are slept on. Yoshi may not have the best voice out of all of them, but he brings a good energy and stage presence and is a strong start to the song. Love the pose he strikes at the end of his solo. C may seem timid, but he has a good voice and sets David up for success with that perfect buildup. David is a star with a great voice and great stage presence. He makes the song so hype. Binyomin keeps David's energy and blows everyone away with his amazing vocals. That boy can sing! Personally, I think that Yoshi and C could have shined more if they had gotten the chorus parts that David and Binyomin did, but they all did great
As an Orthodox Jew who waited every year for the new MBC music to come out, this makes me laugh 😃 We did this exact same thing 😄 judging and rating each singer. PS these guys are all random 9-5ers, driving their Honda Oddesy . The next time you see an Orthodox Jew ask them if they were in MBC.
I absolutely love this video. It screams of happiness to me. I don’t understand the words but wish I could sing along. And the choir master at the end makes it. You can see the music flow out of him too. Bravo ❤❤❤❤
As someone who's best friend was in the choir, I can tell you that they were also extremely grueling. 2 hours a week with very few breaks. You don't get in to the choir if you're not willing to work hard. Doesn't mean they weren't fun. Just hard! XD
@@kashikaze9129 That melody is played over [what seems like] a common chord progression, but it's done in a way that doesn't make it as obvious. A lot of good Jewish music uses chord progressions where the intervals are farther apart. Maybe this is why some of the songs have strong vibes. The chords, being farther apart [from the preceding chord] in the scale, creates the awe that works for a lot of music including that which is used in epic movies.

@@thisismej8665 Perhaps the reason I love this so much is because I couldn't understand the lyrics (I don't speak Hebrew and I'm not Jewish)! All I understand is that this group of boys is singing from the bottom of their souls, every one, and means every word they sing. I'm not a fan of organized religion in any context, but these boys' singing reminds me what is good about it - it's hard to imagine people who could share such joy being in any way judgmental. They make my cynic's heart happy, and I'm grateful for that. :)
Choir leader is Rabbi Yerachmeil Begun. He has composed hundreds of stunning songs for the past 45 years, many that are a lot more melodious than this one, and many in English too; but I agree, this one's got high octane energy.

+DoogelyJim. Don't say things like ,they are kings'. This only leads to arrogance and hubris which itself makes people not listen to others but trying to proselytize or even fight them.

I hope I made it clear that this applies to every side.

Jews call you goyim which means cattle. They think you're a beast in the image of a man whos only purpose is to serve Jews as their slave.
I’m Muslim and been listening to this for a year and it feels so sad right now 😢😢😢
@@danke1150 goyim doesn’t mean cartel you have no idea what you’re talking about stop lying
they're singing pslam 125 it's okay
whenever im having a boring night i put this on and i get to dancing. it never fails to make me dance along and sing even though i have no idea what they are saying.
Okay but why is this SO GOOD like I feel so powerful listening to it and I’m muslim
Something about large groups of people sends chills like the unity is so nice
@@Kiwikick238 for sure!!! I love when ppl of whatever walk of life or religion come together it’s always beautiful
they sing about an emotion of joy about what is good in the world that is universal, isnt it

*THE GOSPEL*
there is a God in Heaven, He created us, we were created to worship Him, enjoy Him, and delight in Him, but because of our rebellion and sin, we were thrust from the thrice holy Presence of GOD, making us enemies of our Creator, deserving of death and eternal damnation in hell. however, the LORD GOD, out of His compassion, love, and mercy gave His only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST, to take on human flesh. Christ came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His Life as a Ransom for many. Christ died on the cross because of our sins, the Just for the unjust, the Sinless for the sinful, the Righteous for the unrighteous, and He was risen to life for our justification, to make us right with GOD. by the grace of God through faith, we can be reconciled to our Creator through our Savior, Who is both LORD and God.
-
JESUS CHRIST is LORD and He loved us while we were still sinners to die for our sins and be raised from the grave for our justification as the sinless, perfect Lamb of GOD, Who takes away the sin of the world, fulfilling the righteousness that the law requires, which we, sinners by nature, could never fulfill. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD. however in this present age, we may now be saved by the grace of GOD through faith in Him alone, followed by the act of repentance or the turning away from all of our sins. we must be born again. JESUS CHRIST is the Way and the Truth and the Life. ✝️
This song has no business being so good.
Back in June 2024 to this masterpiece! GO ON BINYAMIN LAD!!

They know they're good

3:24 THE ABSOLUTE KEY CHANGE OF THE CENTURY OH MY GOD THAT HITS SO HARD
I love how people are going crazy about this key change which is a standard style in Jewish music! (Dropping out some of the backing instruments previously, then bringing them back a half-step higher). Many MBC songs use it, as well as almost every other artist from the time. It has started to go out of use somewhat recently because it is somewhat of a cliche! XD
@@yeshevishman yeah!! I know, I myself am Jewish and I love Jewish music! It's awesome that so many people are using this as a gateway to enjoy more Jewish songs

this is genuinely one of the most emotional and beautiful live performances of a song i have ever seen

As an atheist, I don't think I can ever believe in something, but the community and power that comes from faith like this is so heart warming.
Why do you refuse to recognize that there is a creator to this complex magnificent world?
@@MSW613 Do theists like you actually _believe_ you're being good witnesses to your faith who'll successfully sway people to your particular mythology when you say things like this? Do you believe 'life/evolution is complex, therefore god is real' is some humdinger of an argument? Scientists, biologists, etc. - people who are intimately acquainted with the complexity of the natural world and spend their lives studying it - are significantly _less_ likely to be religious, so I'd argue not.
@@MSW613 there is. But currently there’s tons of religions with tons of gods. No one can say which one is real if any. And besides. There could be a god ? But who made him. And then who made them and so on. We don’t just appear out of air yes. But we can’t say “we don’t know. So god”. That’s why I don’t. But I really respect ur view. And everyone else who is religious as long as u don’t throw it down our throats. U believe. We don’t

Yoshi and C Abromowitz seriously set the tone
Binyomin defs brought it home
Absolutely my favs
Honestly. I get the love for David but the 2nd solo and C Abromowitz really did that
@@HorridDespicableThing David was literally the leader
@@jaydenstokes6307 nah Yoshi was the leader, he set the tone for everyone else
Words cannot describe how incredible these boys are. They ate with a capital A, and left no crumbs behind. Dude. Please perform at my wedding. I am Camden Abdull, signing out.
Mad to think that they’re all in their 20s at this point seeing as this was filmed in 2008.
More than that, most of them are fighting in the IDF now. Legends.
Being agnostic, I cannot imagine how proud their parents not only feel about their kids but their religion and community. Being young and different from other kids is very hard especially in America yet all of these kids looked so proud as they sung in Hebrew, absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful comment!! 🥰❤💯
Cringe ngl

@@caseyfarcas7003 well he did a fantastic job! Crazy to think those kids are probably in their twenties now
For me the conductor around 3:35 is my fave part, he must be so proud of thoae boys in that moment!
This is what peak performance looks like
I'm a Binyomin stan, but they all have their talents. I feel like Yoshi and C are slept on. Yoshi may not have the best voice out of all of them, but he brings a good energy and stage presence and is a strong start to the song. Love the pose he strikes at the end of his solo. C may seem timid, but he has a good voice and sets David up for success with that perfect buildup. David is a star with a great voice and great stage presence. He makes the song so hype. Binyomin keeps David's energy and blows everyone away with his amazing vocals. That boy can sing! Personally, I think that Yoshi and C could have shined more if they had gotten the chorus parts that David and Binyomin did, but they all did great
YOSHI SLAYS
yoshi walked so the others could run
Y Begun knows what he's doing
As an Orthodox Jew who waited every year for the new MBC music to come out, this makes me laugh 😃 We did this exact same thing 😄 judging and rating each singer. PS these guys are all random 9-5ers, driving their Honda Oddesy . The next time you see an Orthodox Jew ask them if they were in MBC.
Yoshi set the foundation and had the hardest job. C is very stable vocally, he didn’t sway the notes.
They’re so iconic
EDIT: I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT KEY CHANGE
Where is the key change? I don’t hear it
@@drummer25cjj 03:23, they start singing the same melody but in a higher tone
I wonder why
@@MarcelRecasens It is one step higher.
@@noahkarlsson4290 oh, you must be right. I'm not that good at music theory
These beautiful children are singsing from their heart, praise be to Adonai.
I absolutely love this video. It screams of happiness to me. I don’t understand the words but wish I could sing along. And the choir master at the end makes it. You can see the music flow out of him too. Bravo ❤❤❤❤
As a former choir kid I just KNOW these rehearsals were so much fun
As someone who's best friend was in the choir, I can tell you that they were also extremely grueling. 2 hours a week with very few breaks. You don't get in to the choir if you're not willing to work hard.
Doesn't mean they weren't fun. Just hard! XD
The Rabbi disappearing from 4:00 - 4:02 is the most amazing part of this truly incredible performance
this is baffling, i never noticed this!!
… did he edit himself in for a final solo???
It's a compilation of at least 2 performances.
(That's not a rabbi btw, frum Jews just dress like that)
He’s probably just the choir conductor and not a Rabbi.
I have rewatched this so many times!! The actual pride their parents must feel about watch this must be unreal
addicted to this song
Proof that even with 3 lyrics a song can be absolutely amazing in the hands of a great composer/producer.

Lyrics:
"ירושלים הרים סביב לה, והשם סביב לעמו מעתה ועד עולם"
(תהלים קכ"ה)
-This only has 2 phrases in it.
@@kashikaze9129 That melody is played over [what seems like] a common chord progression, but it's done in a way that doesn't make it as obvious. A lot of good Jewish music uses chord progressions where the intervals are farther apart. Maybe this is why some of the songs have strong vibes. The chords, being farther apart [from the preceding chord] in the scale, creates the awe that works for a lot of music including that which is used in epic movies.

@@thisismej8665 Perhaps the reason I love this so much is because I couldn't understand the lyrics (I don't speak Hebrew and I'm not Jewish)! All I understand is that this group of boys is singing from the bottom of their souls, every one, and means every word they sing. I'm not a fan of organized religion in any context, but these boys' singing reminds me what is good about it - it's hard to imagine people who could share such joy being in any way judgmental. They make my cynic's heart happy, and I'm grateful for that. :)

Choir leader is Rabbi Yerachmeil Begun. He has composed hundreds of stunning songs for the past 45 years, many that are a lot more melodious than this one, and many in English too; but I agree, this one's got high octane energy. Separately, it's really nice to have our non-Jewish friends on board with their enlightening comments. Welcome!!

+DoogelyJim. Don't say things like ,they are kings'. This only leads to arrogance and hubris which itself makes people not listen to others but trying to proselytize or even fight them. Especially children should stay open-minded and not be indoctrinated by one system. There is more than enough arrogance and hate in the world. Children don't have to join this conflicts too. I hope I made it clear that this applies to every side.
