i dont know the original...and my pleasure. I was first sent it by my friend from Aish and then the executive producer of the company emailed me asking me to post it..how cud i say no? :P
ya i saw it- im not such a fan of the fountainheads- they are fun yea..but the whole girls singing and dancing thing being representative of jews...i doesn't do it for me
They don't seem to be such a religious group. I guess in their circles that's okay. And I am not one to say bring the Torah down to the people, however if their kiruv works than why not?
they dont seem religious thats true- its just frustrating that because they get so popular they send an incorrect message about what judaism is about. I dont know how much kiruv comes from their stuff
also,as my Rav says- when you change halacha in order to be mekarev--what exactly are you being mekarev them too
( that being said they obviously are not into this to do kiruv- i realize that)
What is the difference between the aish video and theirs? Besides having girls singing in it. They are both fun videos trying to bring Jews closer to Judaism. Just two different approaches.
When you put it so simply... I am not disagreeing with you, merely trying to see if from a different point of view. Maybe they did not make this video for kiruv at all, but just for the fun of it. And maybe they don't know there is anything wrong with a man listening to a woman sing.
Ahhh, the prelude. There is actually a speaker tonight for girls, Rabbi Manis Friedman, I don't know if you heard about him. I'm debating whether to go or not.
:) On the other hand, my friend said 'let's hang out tonight'. And that doesn't include going to a shiur. That's what I'm debating. I never go to shiurim, but I heard great things About Manis Friedman. Friend, or shiur? The ultimate question. Or, can I do both?
Man alive do i have a story for you! So i was supposed to go to isreal wednesday, i was flying direct and i was all excited that i was gonna have a normal flight. i had no problems with security i get on the plane i sit in my seat, get my book out. everyone is filing in. they do the whole security thing, turn off the lights we all settle in, i even turn off my beloved ipod. all of sudden they turn the lights back on, and they aer telling us that the plane is BROKEN! and that they haev to do sheet metal repair. so they give us an option to get off the plane and go through security again or we can stay on the plane and in an hour the well just move us to the next plain. now with my previous experience do yoiu thinki i believd them? uhuhuhuh! so i get off settle down with my book and get comfirtable . i call my parets to tell them what teh story was. so my father tell me to ask if i can change my flight to sun night cuz we had a seuda last night at my house and i was gonna miss it. so i c
so basically it comes down to this, i dont have anyone to talk to..and i really need to get this out. A family I am close to has a son you could call " at risk." I hate labels but just so you know what Im talking about. The parents..have no clue what they are doing and are making text-book classic WRONG moves. They seem to be intent on completely pushing the kid off. Issuing ultimatums. Telling him they wouldn't care if he died. Kicking him out of the house. Yelling. Screaming. The works. The sisters reached out to me and i told them how important it is to love him, and be warm to him. To let him know that he is wanted and that they are there for him unconditionally. I mentioned in passing something you learn in Psyche 101- you can never force anyone to change..people will change when they want to. You can change yourself but that is about it. Anywhose..the crazed dad called me yelling at me that i am in no position to tell his kids anything...especially such sill

ReplyDeleteyour right..they are both fun videos..not disagreeing with that..
ReplyDeletethe girls singing is where the diff lies..and i think its a big diff- one is in the confines of halacha and one is not
