    It's called Party Rock Anthem. It's a non-Jewish song.

    I'm sure it's great PR for them. Nice of you to post it.

    Yup. Did you see this one yet? Very catchy. If I were not frum, I might be persuaded to go to shul on Rosh Hashana.

    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.

    your right..they are both fun videos..not disagreeing with that..

    the 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

    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.

    :) 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?

To Study or Not to Study?

I love Friday. I love the feeling that Shabbat is coming. Shabbos is a day like no other.. and that means that erev Shabbat is by association just as special. About a year and a half a go...maybe longer...I started buying flowers " lekavod shabbat kodesh!"  In seminary, Rabbi Geisler told us something that really stuck with me. He said that he does not buy his wife flowers on Friday. He and his wife go and buy flowers for Shabbat together. Rav Shimshon Pincus, in his sefer on Shabbat, also talks about flowers. He says that he went to the store to buy flowers for Shabbat. He went to the roses. Only the best for Shabbat. Only the best for the Queen. But he couldn't decide how many to get. A dozen. two dozen..there is no value for Shabbat. Maybe he should just buy them all? In the end he bought three roses; one for each of the avot, which in turn correspond to the three meals of Shabbat. The greatness of Shabbat is often ignored, trampled on. R'Pincus explains tha...

My T'sha B'av

To state the obvious its been a while. This is the place i go to when i need help clearing my head. Somewhere where i can figure it out. T'sha B'av the saddest day of the Jewish calendar. the day set aside to mourn all the tragedies of our people. We sit on the floor. We don't get dressed up. We stay inside because going outside means facing the sun and other people. I count down the minutes until i can have coffee and listen to music again. This year i decided that i wouldn't listen to A Capella music during the 9 days. Something to maybe mark the days as different. This is also the first time in the past 3 years that I actually made it to Eicha. The last two years i just did not feel well enough. But do i feel the sadness? Do I feel the pain? Are there any emotions running through me? All I can think about is my own drama. My own ups and downs. What will be with my life? There is nothing to distract me from my own thoughts. So I obsess like i have a tendenc...
