      @@yefunehdavid1005 I found a love for Chabad in recent months and have taken on more observance myself. It’s heart breaking seeing someone who became religious just… turn his back on that way of life. Just hearing his language of vulgar mouth makes me weep.

      @@JewishKeto I'm glad to hear of your connection with Chabad. My wife and I identify with our local Chabad rabbi and his family for 10 years now. In many small cities, Chabad is the only remaining legitimate Jewish option, and I would not consider anything other than a Chassidic Orthodox shul. Thankfully they are committed to meeting this spiritual need that is greatly lacking in so many Jewish communities. Matisyahu was an inspiration to me once upon a time, but he turned out to be a huge disappointment, even a "betrayal" in a sense, even though our only connection to each other is the mere fact that we are both Jews and I was inspired by his observance. I still like his older music when he identified with true Judaism, but it now it leaves me with a "bad taste in my mouth" so-to-speak ever since he left his Jewish wife while pursuing "fame", drugs, pleasure, etc. In my opinion, the quality of his music has been on a steady steep decline ever since he shaved his peyot. Mostly I feel sorry for his children that they have him as a "role model". This is just my personal observation and perception, though, and I don't know his complete story, and so my perspective matters very little. I can only hope his kids turn out to be great Yids!

      @@JewishKeto My personal spiritual awakening is also rooted in Chabad in particular and Chassidut in general. Matthew Miller used to be an inspiration to me (long ago), but now I only hope most Jewish kids are not influenced by him at all. He is the "role model" for how NOT to be a good Yid being fully immersed in the goyish world, entertainment, drugs.

    Wow, as a person who is in the process of conversion. In a Chabad House, this is not my experience. And when I was a teenager, the music of the Matisyahu I used to know, was part of my journey to get to where I'm right now. I study fine Arts when I was in college. And I understand what this education does, to your ego.
    What you miss, Matisyahu, not everything is about what we want. And in the end, is not about us. As you said in your song. "I will be light "

      Every Chabad house is different as every Rabbi amd every community is different. It's great that you are having a good experience, but you are on a journey. Everyone makes stops on their own journey and stays in one place for a while before they move on. Sometimes we stay longer and sometimes it's a quick pitstop. There is no destination. Only the journey.... nesiah tova!

    This is just a small opinion from a great fan. I was turned onto your music by a group of hasidics from Muncie here in Belarus. And they thought you were number one. And then everything else and we are who we are and we know what we know and we believe what we believe. What I get out of the album youth is that you are not on drugs and you're not drunk and you believe with all of your heart and all of your might and I thought that was just so beautiful and still is. And I love your music and I understand you when you speak. But I let my beard grow just for me just because I like what I look like with a full beard and you can do whatever you want. God bless you for your music.

    Blessings to Matis. Met him at one of his concerts in SF a few days after my daughter was born, during Hanukkah. Also I think it was the first concert after he shaved his beard. He's a special person, a beautiful soul. I loved him before and now, post-Chassidic. Glad he got out of that trap when he did. When religions go too extreme they can and often do turn into a cult. Yasher koach Matis! More power to you!

    Matisyahu was influence on me. I end up in Christianity. Similarly, once I got involved in Christian music, many Christians were all too happy to correct and criticize me. There’s a reason “preaching to the converted” is a common saying with a negative connotation. Matisyahu’s gifts are best shared with those who have not yet tasted such gifts…

  • @chaya4488

    Chabad is very open .
    Its important that as a person journeys to greater observance, that they take it step by step and dont burn their past behind them.
    Those who integrate their personality, dreams and character into this process of growth have more lasting results.
    Sadly, as in many things religion can be used as an escape from dealing with yourself.
    Actually , in Tanya a big part of what is adressed there is about being a beinoni, a struggling human being and coming to terms with the fact that we are all on our own personal journeys.

    Why he left Chabad...I'd argue that he was never properly "Chabad" to begin with. Was too afraid of letting go of his ego, when Chabad chassidus works not on negating the ego as much as it does emphasizing the "super-ego", the true divine self, which learns over time (!!) to live with and in tandem with the "ego" self....Most people who "leave" ultra orthodox life feel themselves going to extreme too fast, when in fact there is no need for such a thing. They perceive the religious life as being a burden, and they are correct....very unfortunately, he did not meet the right people it seems.

      He was an addict. He could have stayed frum, or chabad not being an addict. People blame others for their problems instead of dealing with them . Honestly anyone who told this guy its ok to tour and do music right after just starting to be frum was wrong. Is it chabads fault also he married a shiksa? Or that his kids aren't Jewish? Come on grow up. You didn't want to be frum fine, but don't put people down.

      If he’s living an orthodox life does it matter if he’s Chabad or not. I enjoy many things from Chabad and I’ve enjoyed Shabbas meals with them. But as long as he accepts Judaism and lives an orthodox life I don’t feel it’s necessary to be Chabad. It’s not bad to be Chabad though.

    Sounds like he went way too deep way too fast. Chassidus is a process, not a destination, regardless of its variety. Chabad brings many Jews back into the fold, and cannot be faulted for that. But like any group, affiliated individuals, even exalted leaders, can be short sighted. Had the Rebbe himself been mashpia to Matisyahu, Matisyahu would not have left, imho.
