ReplyDeleteWow, that worked well. Next time let him stick to Vizhnitz niggunim, maybe they will work better.
Horrific comment
DeleteCHEMED’s original plan was to open next to Costco, but a certain landswapper messed up that deal.
ReplyDelete$chemed should refuse grant. Last year thet made over 21mil profit.
ReplyDeleteLast time they played lubabitch songs at the zos chanukah farbrengen the musician is lubavitch. The Lakewood event should be geared for Lakewood
ReplyDeleteRealize great wise ones,that there are 8 million holy Jews who don't know an Aleph,what are you doing oh great critical ones
DeleteHow do songs become 'Lubavitch'? Is there a conversion ceremony?
DeleteWho cares? If the song is nice, play it. Even if it comes from republicans. And if it isn't nice, don't play it.
Most "holy" chassidic Chabad songs originate from the Goyim. This one takes the cake though:
DeleteIn Chabad they sing a song called "Shamil", which originates from a MUSLIM dude. Read this (From Chabad.org):
This song originates in the Muslim world and is of particular interest. Taught by the Rebbe on Simchat Torah 1958, the song is attributed to Avar Muslim leader Shamil from present-day Dagestan, Russia. It’s melodic structure is unique—rising, dropping, and then rising another octave over the course of a very short song.
As the Rebbe related, Shamil and his warriors were engaged in a battle against the Czarist army. Unable to vanquish the valiant warriors in battle, the Russian army leaders proposed a false peace treaty, and thus succeeded in getting them to lay down their arms. Immediately afterwards, the Russians lured Shamil away and eventually placed under a form of house arrest.
Staring out of the window, Shamil reflected on his days of liberty in the past. In his current exile and helplessness, he bewailed his plight and yearned for his previous position of freedom and fortune. He consoled himself, however, with the knowledge that he would eventually be released from his imprisonment and would return to his position with even more power and glory. He expressed these thoughts in this melancholic, yearning melody.
The moral, as the Rebbe related, is that the soul descends to this world from the heavens above, clothed in the earthly body of a human being. The soul's physical vestments here are really its prison cell, for it constantly longs for spiritual, heavenly fulfillments. The soul strives to free itself from the "exile" of the human body and its earthly pleasures by directing its physical being to the illuminated and living paths of Torah and mitzvahs.
I don't know about you, but one thing is for sure: R. Chaim Volozhiners Niggunim, as well as R. Baruch Ber's, did not originate from non-jewish drunkards. Asking for a friend...
A song like Eimasai ka'asi mar, which Lubavitch converted from an old Yerushalmi nigun Mosai Yiboneh Hamikdosh, and made into a song for hafotzas Chasidus Chabad. Look up the history of the niggun in Chabad, they have a Sefer Hanigunim, of their official songs, with info on them.
DeleteHow do songs become 'official'? What is the process?
DeleteAnd who cares who made up the song? Drunk or Sober? Shamil is a nice song, who cares who made it up?
And why are Muslims so terrible? Do they vote Republican?
Did anyone see the article in the voice from agudah knocking Rav Avigdor Miller and his followers
ReplyDeletewhich article
DeleteFollowers of Reb Avigdor Miller?! Are they in control of their emotions? Do they even try?
DeleteOr are they republican goyim, who use Reb Avigdor Miller because it is convenient for them?
This is what they all sense in the insides, he just articulate for them all better than they can
DeleteHow dare you say that, unless of course you are a closet Hellenist
that article was a poor attempt for Agudah to justify their failures and inactions the worse part is that any baal hanoss working for agudah feel they are daas Torah and compare themselves to the chashmonaim and Macabbes
ReplyDeletethe voice is trash and it was a befitting article for it
Well put
DeleteMizrachi used to do precisely the same. Same crowd, just different name semantics
R Avigder Miller often spoke out against Chasiddim
ReplyDeleteVoice is trash. במי תורה have do not bring it into there homes
ReplyDeleteWho reads the voice it litters the sidewalk with waterlogged magazines piling up week after week
ReplyDeletetried looking this article on their site but it is not on says it is broken
The Voice is involved in redifus of ehrliche yidden. I keep that rag away from my house.
