Thank you all for watching! Stay tuned and SUBSCRIBE to the official PortuguesePai TH-cam Channel to always be kept informed when I make a video or React to moments from games played on stream, to content put out across the interwebs. - บันเทิง
Over the years Y. Begun has brought back alumni soloists or groups for a performance here and there. These men didn't all sing together as boys in the choir, they're from all the different generations of MBC brought together for this concert. This is an all-time MBC classic and the original performance of this song was recently posted on their channel. Great stuff as usual!
Btw, one of the singers in this video, Zalman Pollack, who was a soloist for MBC in the 90's, is now a professional wedding singer, and has a few original singles out. You can search his name on TH-cam Zalman Pollack. He doesn't have the greatest voice now, but he sings really well!
Just found the channel 2 hours ago, binged the whole thing!! Was really entertained!!!! Keep it coming!!
I’m binge watching ur videos!! I spent more then 3 hours around watching with my friend
Hahaha I never thought I'd get name-dropped in a youtube video but thank you! I'm just so happy that people are enjoying Jewish culture especially with all the Kanye anti-Semitism stuff going on, thank you!
Loving these reviews, and the genuine and respectful curiosity with which you approach them! Much respect to you! Keep them coming! Also, the maccabeats are a fun aCapella group to check out! They mostly do parody covers of songs!
It's great to see you coming back to MBC and really enjoying it
There's four new videos on TH-cam from one of their most famous concerts called ' revach ' . You should definitely check them out.
I remember being at this concert and being towards the front (one of my best friends was in the choir and his siblings didn't want to go, so I went with his family) and the crowd reaction to this was insane. The energy of the crowd pumped up a lot when they came out.
Also, they updated some of the harmonies and arrangements on this song from how it had been performed since it's release in 1999 (On the album Stand Up).
I love what you're doing on your channel! Watched all of the videos yesterday and loved your commentary on them! It's always enjoyable to see people of different cultures enjoy the music that I grew up with and still love to this day!
I know you have a ton of songs being suggested to you and there's not enough time in the day to get to all of them, but when you get a chance, I think you should check out Simcha Leiner. His song Ribono is requested by many brides when they walk down the aisle at their weddings.
My new favorite TH-cam channel
3 videos in one day!!! You de man!!!
Yeah, this performance was during the Miami 36 concert in 2013. The alumni vary from all the years between 1977 - 2008. (The Yavoh album you've reacted to 3 songs from, Yerushalayim, Galei, and Yavoh)
Yoshi doesn't look too different as it's only been 3 - 5 years since he left the choir, as compared to people from the earlier years so they weren't all in together. Dovid was IN this performance as part of the current choir so he wasn't on stage here. If more content gets released from this performance, I highly recommend checking it out
Just got hooked on these :)
Thank you for these awesome, respectful, and curious reactions. It's so nice to see!
I would love if you reacted to Ishay Ribo. I've seen a few other people mention him as well. His songs are fantastic.
Thanks so much for the Kind words Kayla. I actually reacted to Ishai Ribo I believe it was yesterday. I'll definitely be checking out some more of his stuff, he's got a really cool vibe
@@PortuguesePai Just want to tip my hat (yarmulka) to you. One reason that your reviews are getting such a nice embrace is because so often, Orthodox Jews or Jews in general are portrayed in the media as different in a negative way..... So to see someone genuinely appreciate aspects of our culture, helps people feel good about themselves and their own culture. Additionally at a time when we see hate being directed our way, seeing someone like you reacting so positively and genuinely really gives a lot of hope...... It's not all negativity out there, There are many wonderful people like yourself who recognize the good in everyone.
@@freespeech100 Thanks Free, that is a very kind message. I Do understand what you mean, but at my age I just don't have time to hold hatred towards anyone. We're all people, and even though we have difference's we have a lot in common as well. I may not agree with everything someone says/believes in, but that shouldn't mean they're less than or the enemy.
@@PortuguesePai I'd give your comment 100 likes if I could! A little light gets rid of a lot of darkness, thanks for bringing that light!
Yes he’s the best. I’m a huge fan of his recent collab with zusha they sang lecha dodi it’s rlly cool
The older guy was a star soloist in 1990-91-92 Nathan stark
Haha, it's amazing that you guy's know all this information!
@@PortuguesePai i was addicted as a child.....lol
th-cam.com/video/W-RkJMQmlRk/w-d-xo.html u could see him by 43:00 singing a full song as a soloist
Omg Nathan Stark and Ari Goldwag! Our childhood heroes LOL! Hilarious looking back on that!
@@PortuguesePai I listened to this music, from 1993 ( when i born ).
So yes, I know all the soloists from 1990 until now
I love your content 😂❤
This reaction was great pls do more videos
in this time Dovid and David where children. also the left guy from Yoshi named "shaul Elson", he was a main soloist in 2005/6 and was incredible. search his name on youtube, there is a compilation of his live solos, you will be suprised to hear him.(by the way in my channel i have a longer video of this concert where almost all of them singing solo together with this time's choir included Dovid Pearlman)
I thought it was his younger brother Benji?
@@doctorateinmadison he is the younger brother of Benji
I myself just v bummed into u on TH-cam and I enjoy the music of course but also the way you try to understand and figure things out.
Please keep them coming bc I myself am in the hospital, for all of 2022 I've been here most of 2020. 2021 was a tough one.& 20 I we2o22
Keep up the amazing work. Your reactions are genuinely intriguing, insightful and bring a good smile. Love the niche you've found for yourself on TH-cam hence the increasing subs and popularity. I think your channel is interesting to many Orthodox Jews and can be used as a great way to share our culture with non Jews as well in a raw, curious and fun way.
Thanks so much Ivan, I really appreciate the kind words. I would definitely agree I've stumbled into a niche, however I am enjoying the experience as well as all the information I'm getting from these videos. There is so much I wasn't aware of in regards to the music scene, and even just behind the music there's so much more beneath it. Very fascinating stuff!
@@PortuguesePai I think you've discovered something very powerful here - theres something exhilirating about seeing an outsider react positively to our culture, practices, etc.
You should try this with other minority cultures, like Arabic music for example... your channel might really take off.
@@dannyfarkas9127 That's a great suggestion Danny, much appreciated. Any particular song you would recommend for a starter video into that world?
Great vid as usual!
That was a gorgeous ending. The whole video was beautiful but I loved the part near the end where they are going up and down.
Members of the Miami Alumni Choir:
First row (from left to right): Gershi Adler, Jordan Odinsky, Shaul Elson, Yoshi bender, Benji Elson, Zalman Pollack, Eli Sinreich and Jonathan Brody.
Second row (from left to right): Amiel Tabanpour, Yisroel Moshe Weinreb, Yitzchok Freidman, Daniel Muchnik, Eric Stern, Nachum Stark, Isaac Ben Ishai, Elchanan Majeski and Zevy Kaufman.
Some of the guys in the back were in the choir in early-mid 90s
Translation: "Behold how good and how pleasant it is when brothers sit together" (Psalm 133). There are many different tunes with these words. That's true of of quite a few classic passages from traditional Jewish texts. During prayers in school my teacher would ask us each day which of about six tunes we wanted to sing the hymn "Adon Olam" to (including an MBC one).
(Btw, I made a playlist of some live performances worth checking out th-cam.com/play/PLWZX2RzoMh3qfrrOLrNY4jskdo-Z2cF5p.html)

This song was popular a number of years ago ( maybe still?) In Asian countries for exercise classes.
Miami boys choir uploaded a new video! You should check it out, I think it’s in 2005 so the people are different but it has young yoshi, yair, and akiva! It’s only a glimpse though 😭 They’re so small in there 🥹
Please react to these amazing Jewish singers:
1) nissim black- fly away
2) DJ kraz
3) mission to believe- uri meltzer
4) Dovid Pearlman -afraid of flying (he was in
Miami boys choir, the famous Dovid)
5) shalsheles JR
6) Waterbury Mesivta
7)aryen kunstler
You should see the Alumni when they were younger. Particularly in 1991/1992, some of them were around 11 or 12, and had amaaaaazing voices! If you can find Miami experience 1 and 2 you will see just how great they were, particularly, the main soloists.
Happy to translate yet again:
Henai Ma Tov means Here's What's Good.
The song talks about how lovely it is when all jews, who call each other brothers, come and sit together. The song is all about brotherhood and unity so it makes sense that they wouldn't do as much solos as they used to do and tend to do small groups.
I would also point out that the sentiment that it's wonderful when brothers sit together, Is also true in the broader sense of all people whether Jewish or not.
@@freespeech100 Yeah, that's true!
What's important to know is that this isn't the whole choir from one era it's a couple from most eras spaning the late 80s to late 2000s
hinei ma tov etc basically means "good to be together". there's one song with these words in the Entebbe rescue movie on the military aeroplane going to Entebbe
Maimi boys (and alumni) choir is one of the longest running Jewish choirs in the world. There are many many many alumni and they constantly bring back boys from the early years to do more.
The real prime of Miami boys choir was in the 80s and 90s those back guys were the star soloists at the time. Back then the head guy was also a lot younger. Was a diff vibe back then
you gotta watch the interview Yerachmiel Begun just did with nachum segal on the superbowl sunday kosher halftime show
I wrote in response to the original video the names of everyone and the years they were in the choir. Welcome to look!
You should react to the 2003 live performance of this song, Henai Ma Tov!
Nice job 👍👍👍
Please forgive me for being a little crusty, but I don't know why Begun inserts himself into these pieces. MBC is a show choir for the most part, and show choir conductors don't sing with or conduct the singers on stage during performances; it is expected that the singers can do their thing from start to finish (ht: glee). Now if it was a regular choir on risers, that would be another thing.
My uncle was one of boys in MBC and my mother would drive him and his friends to their practices and when I told her that they were having a weird little come back her first response was "Yerachmiel Begun was really harsh on those boys they were kinda scared of him" and honestly it kinda looks like they still are in this vid 😂😂
This group are from the 36 as of this video years of Miami boys choir.
@portuguesepai you should check out deaf man in a shteeble. Its the jewish version of blind man in the bleachers. Very heartfelt song. You wont be disappointed
I love your videos 🥰🥰🥰 ... a lot of Jewish music is based off of our prayers/ the Bible so what you'll find is that there are a lot of times it's the same words but different tunes/ composition or popular tunes redone by other musicians/bands so this tune is very popular version of this song 😊
the words they are singing loosely translate to "it is better when done together " or "when we brothers are together" so not having a lot of solos emphasizes the point.
I believe dovid and daivid were the same person at different times in his short life. The reason why that was his last performance is because sadly he passed away he was sick most of his short life.
dovid was still part of the regular choir at the time
Yo you gotta check out Issac benishai star soloist for Miami boys
Your videos have been very nice to watch, and I appreciate seeing another person enjoy Miami content. So to continue your Miami journey, haha here's a video that the main channel just posted, from my time in the choir actually. It's called "Oh Hashem" th-cam.com/video/ZEtK9yWjs5o/w-d-xo.html It was filmed in 2011 so the quality is much better. I think you'd enjoy it. And it's in English 🙂

Love your videos! This is a version that he modified for the alumni choir to better suit their older voices. You can listen to the original here, with the kids, and see that there are soloists and more of the structure you're used to: th-cam.com/video/Kfwti5pVtVI/w-d-xo.html (and the kid at 2:50-2:55 is Mordechai Shapiro)
Dovid is the same name David. Just David is more like the American version and dovid is more the Hebrew version
