Who else is listening to Ofra Haza'a beautiful voice and music in 2021? - Edit: Now it's 2025; her music is absolutely timeless!
Timeless classic. This song will live on forever.
Absolutely. It's a shame that she's no longer with us RIP Ofra
Kybele Kordax and also the meaning of it awful, thank you Ofra Haza 🙏 😊
I could listen to this every day of the week for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.... Ofra Haza will live on in her music forever, and yes it is so sad that she died way too young but she has left us with a beautiful legacy of her music and her soul... She truly was a beautiful person inside and out and long live her memory and her music ...
She does have a beautiful voice it"s too bad she had to leave so early R.I.P.
She was a beautiful singer and person . . . R.i.P. my dear! Your wonderfulf voice should never forget
How did she R.I.P.?
For those who don't know, the lyrics were written around 300 years ago by a very special person who was a Rebbe in Yemen, and basically the meaning of this literature is: gates of tears are never locked up from reaching God, and you should completely trust God with everything that happens in your life
thanks for the explanation i dont understand hebrew i m from morocco
Thank you for that
Danke.
Thankyou❤that means alot
Danke❤

I'm listening to her again today, Middle East needs her kindness today, on both sides, more than ever. May she rest in peace. She is so unique, no one like her.
You wrote exactly what I was going to write about her. God bless you!
Amen ve Amen ! Shabbat Shalom le coulam ! Am Yisrael khay ! Yevarekhekha et Adonayi Eloheynou !
Amen, brother…👍🏴
She died her man has aids she too

She left a beautiful footprint on Earth. Her music is timeless. Left us way too soon 😢
This song was played all over Europe in the mid 80-ies when I was starting to teen and made first travel across my country. Music unites all people
Why fundamentalist maniacs want it banned.
Music can bring peace and Islam ruins that peace. Hopefully Netherlands will sort out all the Islamists.
i used to
listen to this in 1980’s America
Amen ve Amen! Shomer Yisrael, koumah! Koumah, Adonayi tsevaoth neged oyvekha! Am Yisrael khay !
@@mischlingbeerandcigarmanShabbat Shalom Mischling! The reason is that the moonidol is a demon of darkness and he can't stand people talking to his enemy, the Creator, cuz he knows that HaShem is listening from the heights of heaven and he also knows that the fervent prayer of the righteous moves the arm of the Most Holy, so of course, every morning a bro awakes starting his day with a Modeh ani on His lips or at least a Baroukh HaShem if he is in a hurry, that is alarming him and this demon absolutely can't stand people praising the One who will at the end punish him, so this demon tries everything to erase such adorants from the surface of the planet, but for every praying man he manages to get killed by his adepts, ten other brethren will stand up to praise the Lord almighty and this is going on since the days of Pharao Akhmoshe and his father already and the devil is unable to understand that his situation is getting worse with every day he manages people to sin instead of serving HaShem... That's the reason why !
I'm Italian, it's a beautiful memory of the 80's, beautiful voice. RIP
When she was still with us, Ofra's music was just as popular with the Palestinian people as it was with the Jewish because she sang in both Arabic and Hebrew. I'm sure if she was with us now, she would want peace between the two communities, as do I.
I didn’t know she died 😢
@@Femmeaesthetic 24 years ago..
I'm not to sure about Palestinians being a fan of Ofra Haza since majority of them are not so keen with jews
Her filthy husband killed her.
@@Femmeaesthetic her husband gave her HIV
This poem is one of the most popular and widely known among the Yemenite Jews. It is sung on many different occasions, at weddings and other celebrations, to many melodies.” Im nin'alu daltei n'divim daltei marom lo nin'alu means Even if the gates of the rich are closed, the gates of heaven will never be closed.
AMEN
Probably the most perfect female voice ever. Such power and beauty.
Streisand!
Taya Gaukrodger is better.
Listen to "Oceans", "Transfiguration", "Even when it hurts", "Prince of Peace" or "Closer than you know".

A tear comes to my eye. I did not know Ofra was dead. Such a great song. Summer of 1988 I was young and 20 years old and Ofra's song fitted the summer that year perfectly. I still love that song. RIP beautiful Ofra.
she died because of his husband who infected her with hiv. That asshole was a drug addict and destroyed her ....
@@lilith658 I can only guess that he too is now dead.
she died in 2000 from Aids
The first time I heard of her in 1988 I was in Dubai and a local gave me a cassette and told me she is a yamani Jewish and really like her voce and music
I am from lebanon by the way
what does the title mean, and how do i say it, and how do i say her name right, do u know that
I'm from New Mexico USA . My brother has jammed to ofra haza forever. He passed away 7 years ago and I miss him. I jam to her in his memory. She also is one of the greatest.

Ich höre und sehe das Video immer noch sehr gerne. Sie war eine fantastische Sängerin, die viel zu früh gestorben ist. ❤
RIP Ofra Haza - she was quite popular here in Germany in the late 80s with this song!
IMHO she did more for reconciliation than any politician could. What a lovely lady with her crystal-clear stellar voice!
She was a symbol of a modern Israel. With her natural singing talent, she managed to enchant people across the world. Her collaboration with Sisters of Mercy in the 90s was also epic!
That man took her from this life. He infected her and took her future. I won't call him her husband, because he didn't merit the title. She had so much more to do, to achieve...and he stole that from her. And from the world.
Wow disse tudo!
Hallo aus Frankreich, mein freund !

@@andrewdouglass1427 Do you really think that he infected her intentionally? This is very sad story, but I wouldn't blame her husbend.
I come from a Muslim background and as a kid I would beg my mother to play this for me since it made me happy and for some reason resonated with it. This felt like my personal spiritual theme than any religious hymn or prayer I heard. I miss you Ofra, your beauty and voice lives within my soul! Toda Raba!
Nice! Me too.
@@doburu4835 That's awesome!
Wow I feel the same way
The basis for this song came from her Yemeni background :) It is detailed in a BBC special where she talked about her heritage and can be heard there.
@ln God we trust ! you too inshallah!
What a heavenly song in a beautiful voice! She had the voice of angels on earth! Definitely no one will ever replace her! Rest in peace Ofra Haza.

Shabbat Shalom Violeta! Eres justo! Baroukh HaShem, i found great comfort after the death of Ofra in listening to Elihana Elia and especially her Psalms. You may try this too, it really helps !
Love you Ofra, I am 18 and was diagnosed with major depression in August. Your music helps me so much. And so does Adonai.
Big warm hug for you Sofia. Greetings from Amsterdam Karin.
Much love and blessings from Scotland ♥
Sofia you'll be ok. Depression is a form of sensitivity to the world... It means you've more to offer
We all suffer from it one way or another. Find your core, your inner streangth. Everything else is periphery and changeble. Sometimes it takes a lifetime to know who we are, many are on such a journey of discovery.
I heard this as a child and its been stuck in my head for decades. Thanks to google, I hummed it and it led me to the singer. Thank God music has no religion or ethnicity.
Same here too cracking tune 🎵 awesome singer 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Me too, I heard her when I was a child. If I remember, it was Sanremo Totip 1984??? And her voice and beauty was on my mind for today and will always be with me....
Same here i search this by hummed😅 on song searching in youtube ,this song stuck in mah mind from my childhood ,
Sie hatte die Stimme eines Engels. Einfach zauberhaft. 🙏💙
Hallo dem stimme ich dir zu.....gruss aus aschaffenburg in Bayern, Michael
I am an 80's gal, love disco music!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Im moroccan/dutch and I always thought this song was arab growing up. Nothing changed when I found out it wasnt, will always love it. Its a forever gem.
Well... @@dennisthemenace3695 Its frankly weird. I understand the tradition and grew up having no negative feelings about it..although scaring children to behave is all in all quit immature in my opinion. The character of zwarte piet was once a very prominent fixture among the traditional native dutch but with immigration of the new dutch such as myself and many from former colonies such as Suriname/Antilles etc etc, things changed. Where once the older generations of New Dutch from the dutch colonies, who were not born nor grew up in Holland/Netherlands excepted the tradition and were not prone to speak their minds on the subject, the younger generation/born and raised in Holland and ofcourse attended dutch schools, did not have those constraints. The dutch in general are mouthy and do not fear to speak their minds and evidently are known worldwide for being very blunt and so this new generation spoke up and very loudly at that. Zwarte Piet looks out of step in the 21st century knowing dutch colonial history. So seeing a native dutchman/woman in blackface with blood red lips, fake afro and large golden earrings..well...it just doesnt fit this day and age. ps. Zwarte Piet is a negative stereotype and has been used as such by the native dutch themselves plus there is a history of black dutch people being called zwarte piet as some form of joke by some native dutch that in all has not helped the black dutch people warm up to the character in general. Funny facts: Santa Claus was based on Sinterklaas. Sinterklaas was based on Nicolaas van Myra the saint born in Patara, Lycië in Antalya, modern day Turkey. Zwarte Piet is based on the Moors who ruled Spain for 7 centuries, formerly known as Andalusia. The 2 biggest groups of New Dutch in Holland as of right now 2023 are Dutch Turks and Dutch Moroccans...lmaoo
@@dennisthemenace3695 No problem. Oh I know all about Blackface and its history in the US so I can understand the shock. I am very up to date with American culture, Im kind of American without being American lol. The biggest difference is that Holland did not have slaves in its country like the US did and so it took a long time for the tradition of Zwarte Piet to go sour. The tradition used to look quit harmless even if you are of African decent...until you learn the full context and history, then it all changes ones perception. And that is what has been happening for the last 2 decades. We now have people dressing up as Piet but without much blackface...just in all type of silly colors and some with soot swipes on their faces. I think its for the best.
@@dennisthemenace3695 LoL yeah soot lol..didnt you know going through a chimney also gives you an afro, red lips and golden ear rings??? LMAOOO. As for your folks knowing about Al Jolson/blackface minstrel shows and so forth. Your folks probably thought it was dutch tradition and speaking up against such things especially tradition isnt always welcome. Many native dutch still to this day have a hard time coming to grips with it all and some outright still deny there is anything wrong with it and even curse in their hearts the people who speak against it.
@@dennisthemenace3695 Shabbat Shalom Dennis ! Well the dutch are not the only ones who told their kids such stories. In the neighbourhood east of the Rhine, people not really long ago used to tell their kids who didn't wanna finish their soup or their plate "Der schwarze Mann wird dich holen, wenn du nicht brav alles aufisst!" ... Meaning "The black man will comes and take you if you don't eat up everything!" Unfortunately not every child took this black man for a legend. Some took it for granted. Now imagine their reaction when these kids for the first time see an American or French soldier with african roots... They panic! They panic even if it's just a refugee without uniform and without weapons on his shoulder. These poor kids panic Just cuz for their parents it was easier to put an end to the discussion by threatening them with the black man... Some african refugees asked me why the lil kids here are so anxious and when I tell them about this background, they get really sad! On the other hand with a father who refuses to tell fairly tales and invites people to eat regardless of their origin, the kids grow up with their own natural curiousness and without anxieties and without what germans call "Berührungsängste" (I'm ashamed to be a translator without knowing how to translate this word into english , sorry! It's a composed word of the roots for to touch and fear, but I cannot find a really fitting english word in my memory...) ... Kids are not born racists, they become racists by silly fairly tales and some never understand that they have been tricked by their parents and even as adults believe that "black man" is a synomyme for evil...
Technically it's an arab style song, song by an Israeli singer celebrating her Yemeni heritage
i was 14 when i listened first ,now im 45 I`m from Albania this song is unforgetable in my mind and soul

I have no idea what this song is about, but the passion in the music is amazing
Im Nin'alu is a Hebrew poem by 17th-century Rabbi Shalom Shabazi. So the opening is "Im nin’alu daltei n’divim daltei marom lo nin’alu,” which translates into English as “Even if the gates of the rich are closed, the gates of heaven will never be closed.”. Which essentially means always trust in God even if other doors are closing on you.

Im British i remember hearing this in 1987 on a channel 4 programme on a sunday. I loved it ever since.
Come visit Israel, take a guided off road excursion into the depths of the pristine Zin desert. Experience the deep utter silence for mile in every direction, all you can hear is your own heart beet. Zin is the crucible of mans spiritual journey, where it all started 3,700 years ago.
1988, Hungary, iron curtain, first free satellite TV was the Sky channel where I saw it. I will never forget the song, it's been 35 years.
1988, im Irish and remember the iron curtain falling, our first free satellite tv was sky too in same year, progress began & song has the beat of it too. 😊

Arabs need to stop hating Jews, that's why they left before this war! Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews are discriminated across the Arab world!
@Mike Davidson As someone who grew up in the Arab world I can tell you that's far from the truth, the anti jewish sentiment is strong from Arabs, just cause few Arabs are ok with Jews doesn't mean the majority are...
Ofra Haza was born in Israel, not Yemen! Her parents probably are originally from Yemen, but moved to Israel due to prosecutions against Jews in Yemen.
And who else is listening to Ofra Haza's beautiful voice and music in 2021 ?
All of us
WHO doesn't?

Absolutely me...... Stunning x

what a truly beautiful woman, stunning beauty and voice. We miss you.
This is the first song in my life that I liked and I was 5 year old,it was before 25 years and unique,original music never gets old and boring
Spent the last 30 years with the chorus in my head on and off (I think a snippet was on an old MTV ad from the 90s) and up this pops on TOTP 1988 on BBC tonight! Mystery solved! Thought I’d never find it!
It's now been 30 years since we lost our beloved Ofra.
Ofra Haza has one of the most beautiful voices.
Most of the listeners are praising Ofra's singing but noone has said a word about the guy who made this remix. I think the beauty of this song is in Izhar Ashdot's ingenious production and fusion of Ofra's traditional vocals with modern dance elements.
Aswin Rajkumar You are right. This version of Im Nin Alu sounds much better than other versions. Apart from a singer, the musicians and the instruments used for a song are very important. In this case the talents of Ofra and Izhar Ashdot complement each other. Of course Ofra sang like an angel (she was an angel) and we will never forget her.
Raul Perez Yes, they're both great together :)

U r right. izhar Ashdot is a giniuse. writing many great rock song in the 80s and 90s. For Adam(שקיעה אחת,מצטער)

lovenlightman Do you know any other songs by Ashdot in this style?
***** Yep. I really enjoyed the arrangement, bassline, beats and basically, the entire song lol :D
Such a beautiful song that I can’t stop playing over and over.Sung by a beautiful woman with gorgeous eyes and a voice that is very angelic.Sad that she was taken from us.RIP Ofra
was allways part of my mixtapes when i was a boy. long time not hear. now i explode in memories
Such a Beautiful and talented singer! I was a great fan of her when I lived in Jerusalem. Rest in peace and hope to see and hear you again in heaven!
Just found this by mistake, my god i remember her voice. What the world has lost is beyond belief. Read the translation, simply beautiful.
The mystical experience of the desert. You should come to Israel & spend time at the Dead Sea, or in the Negev dessert.
i am so happy because i found this song after many years and so sad about her death...so beautiful woman with a sensual voice
I discovered Ofra in the early 90's and fell in love with her music.
What a Beautiful Woman...
We miss you Ofra Haza . So unique voice left us . R.I.P
20 years since her passing... our beautiful and talented Ofra will never be forgotten
✨
What a shame!
🙏
RIP
This was a huge hit in Canada when it first came out - deservedly so
I was growing up in Azerbaijan. We had Jewish center that was sponsored by Israeli organizations. My half Jewish half Muslim dance teacher was teaching us a dance “little camels”. She used this song. We ended up to perform at a huge local opera house in Baku on some Jewish event. This song brings many sweet childhood memories.
I'm from Brazil and really fan of Azerbaijani music. I discovered Hebrew musics throw the Chingiz Mustafayev's version of Harel Skaat's Milim
😊
Нежный лирический голос Офры Хаза не спутаешь ни с каким другим голосом! Красавица!!!
Да, как жаль что она так рано ушла из жизни!
I was 17 years old when I heard this for the first time in early 1988. I am 51 now and I still love it up to this day ❤🎵🎶
I was also 17 and I am 51 now. In 1988 I don't like this song. Today I like it so much.
Ive been trying to find the name of this song for sooo long! First heard a short clip of this on a program called Microsoft Music Central 1995. The hook was beautiful and stuck in my head for almost 30 years.
