Shmueli Ungar is one of the top singers in the business for a reason! Hershy Weinberger actually came onto the scene purely as a composer. He actually said in interviews that he was embarrassed to sing publicly for a long time because he has a strong lisp but finally embraced it and has started to do alot more singing and is working on more of his own material now although he still is popular as a composer, selling his songs to many other artists. He became famous through the songs he sold to Shmueli.
This song is based off of the Ma Nishtana which is part of the Passover seder. Ma Nishtana is a set of 4 questions that are supposed to be asked by the young children regarding why we do certain customs at the seder which are to be answered by the father as the seder continues. This song is a play off that, asking God 1 more question - why are we still here in exile suffering through hardships? A very emotional song which was written and recorded at the heart of COVID
This song was composed right when Covid came to NY in March 2020. We were losing community members right and left. People had to make Passover Seders all on their own in isolation. Hence this song is so emotional, asking "Why? Why? Why do we have to go through this, G-d???"
Love your videos, we should do an interview together.
💯 this would be so cool! Do it! Latest Talks and Mike!!! Yes!!!
Haha, appreciate you checking out my videos/channel. An Interview sounds cool, but I don't know what I could bring to the conversation 😅.
@@PortuguesePai There's a lot to talk about... You're doing an amazing job.
Check our channel for contact details, please reach out.
Sounds good, I'll check it out!
I cannot get over that you realized it was an internal dialogue. You are so intuitive!
Yes!! I was thinking the same. חג כשר ושמח
Ok, so a small recap on what's going on here. On Passover night we make a meal called a Seider where we reflect on the miracles the Jews saw in Egypt. I can write pages about the "Seider night" But I'm sure you'll eventually bump in to a video about it, so I don't want to spoil your potential questions.. Lol
Now, one of the highlights of the night, is when the kids ask (pre-scripted) questions about "what's different tonight (that we don't eat bread, only matza" etc)
Now to this song, this is basically a play of concept, they're asking G-d, Why is this exile different then the previous ones that didn't last this long. Why are we still in exile after almost 2000 years.
When you were saying (around 7:33) that he was saying a prayer within the prayer, you are absolutely right. At the seder night, after the kids asks the questions, they say (Also pre-scripted, and let me be specific, mainly in the chassidic sect, I believe) "Tatte laiben (Father) ich hub dir gefreigt (I have asked you) deye kashes (these questions) zaa moichel in entfer mir a teritz (forgive me and give me an answer). So what he's praying/asking from G-d, that he should be answered, meaning we should be redeemed from exile soon.
Well said
10:27 made my day to hear you say "I hope you guys all had a great shabbos" 😂 It sounded so natural that I almost didn't realize!
The pronunciation, so smooth and natural
This is a very emotional song. Even though I don’t speak Yiddish and therefore don’t understand the chorus I can feel the pain and yearning. So beautiful.
And wow that falsetto on Hershy!
Had to remind myself that we still have Purim before freaking out about cleaning...😅
Great song and video:
ברכת המזון - ילד הפלא בנצי קלצקין, מקהלת חסידימלעך | Bentzy Kletzkin, Chasidim'lech
This is fascinating because I didn't even know he was actual singer, let alone that he has such a powerful voice. I only know him from Mach a brucha which my 2 yr old is obsessed with and I have listened to about 40 million times.
So sweet asking about our shabbas…
It was fantastic btw :)
I'm always pleasantly surprised when I watch a reaction to a chassidish style song. Thank you for exposing me / allowing me to be moved by these songs that I wouldn't have listened to on my own!
K, I'm sure someone explained this below, but I'm scrolling down the comments and don't see anyone else explaining this sufficiently, so here goes.
The song is based on the "Four Questions" which the youngest child asks at the Passover Seder (this much is obvious). The questions start with the words "why is this night different?" They've reinterpreted the word "Why?" as something we might ask God. Why do we have to endure so much suffering? Essentially, the song says "God, please forgive me, but I must ask, why?" It's a very painful but moving sentiment.
This is one of my favorite songs 🎵 ❤, loved seeing ur reaction!
BTW, the second man is called Hershey weinberger and he composed the song.
First it’s good to see you! How was your weekend? Hope you had an amazing shabbos too! Yeah, Shmueli Ungar he’s great if he wants to, he could really hit those notes he’s amazing! The other guy is also amazing. Yes, he has a lisp. It’s a Passover night meal. This song is a piece of prayer that we say by the Passover night meal That line where you stopped by 8.00 is where he said a line of Yiddish that we say and the kids say specifically themselves to their parents and then everybody says it! The kid is just a prop and makes the situation fell more real!
I don't think the child is a prop. I believe he is sitting there to symbolize that the Seder is directed to the children and their questions.
This words are from the Passover Haggadah. It is said before the Passover dinner on Passover night. Although all present say the words. Traditionally the children at the table say it individually to their father. These words are at the begging of the Passover Seder in the form of 4 questions. The rest of of the Haggadah tells the story of the redemption of the Jews from Egypt. This is an answer to the 4 questions
Hershy looks like post Malone 😅😂😂😂
Love that
Your videos are amazing
Hershy happens to be one of the great young composers. Shmuely compliments his songs amazing
The words are from the ritual question every kid asks their parnets on passover night: how is different this night from all other nights? The sadness in the song is that in symbolic terms the word "night" refers to exile, and the question asked can also mean "how is this exile (the Jews being in exile for close to 2000 years) different than all other exiles?"
With the glasses is Hershey other is shmueli Unger. check out mach a brucha shmueli with Meir Kay
From now on singers are going to take into consideration how challenging they can make the song/video
Mbd & Fried: together again - the freilech band & Shirah choir ShasAThon 2019/5779
This is one of the greatest Jewish music videos of all time
Yes it is! 100%

They sing a poetry called Ma Nishthana from the Passover Haggadah (the Passover Haggadah is a special book with a sequence of prayers and blessings especially for Seder night which is a ceremony on the first night of Passover) But it's supposed to be more happy they sing it like it's sad
The emotion you see is due to the prayer they are singing
The closing credit says it's in memory of two siblings, Yaakov Ari, and Dina, children of Benjamin Tzvi (who is also passed).
The song was dedicated to the singer Shmueli’s father and aunt that have passed away at a very young age
Love your videos man
OK now this is the Passover Seder. The text they are referring to is the song Mah Nishtana. Which a child asks the father at the Passover Seder. But from my very limited Yiddish it seems that the question they are asking seems to be a different question. More of a Theological question from G-d. Mayb that is why the fathers are asking and not the child.
This particular books are called hagodes it's the passover night ceremony script and prayers
I love you for saying Hershey looks like post Malone
Halailah is the standard and Sephardic pronunciation (pronounce it like Spanish). But the Hasidic Jews use a Polish-influenced pronunciation of the Hebrew which is far from Modern Hebrew.
Funny you mentioned post malone, always tought he looks hasdic, especially when he had the 2 side curls
They are mourning about why we're still in exile
@@mendelmajermendi3497 thanks I corrected it
This is them singing about holiday called passover
beautiful song!!!! can you please do omar adam and ishay ribo song sheket live its insane thanks
Looked up Post Malone and you are right, he does look like him (without the tattoos!).
On Passover, there is a mitvah (command) to drink 4 cups of wine or grape juice throughout the night
Shmueli Ungar is the one singing the song you heard playing in the shop in the Peter Santenello video.
Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/nz7Xvk5D8Rs/v-deo.html
Worth hearing
Pls react to shloimy daskal and avrum cheim green 'mame rochel'. thank you for the video😘
It's a passover night meal called seider
Now I gotta Google Post Malone 😆
This has to do with the Passover Meal. The children ask 4 questions starting with, "why is this night different than all other nights of the year?"
The purpose of these questions is to have the father answer the orgins of the Jewish nation. From slaves in Egypt to freedom when God took us out.
"Mah nishtana haleila hazeh mikol haleilos".
Passover is a celebration of our freedom and commitment to God.
My Yiddish is not good at all, but I think he says something to the tune of, "for why are we still in this exile?"
The youngest child usually sings this song on Passover night
What???
In your family maybe
Theres a custom in chasidic circles for the youngest child to say it first, followed by second youngest all the way up till the adults say it together. And it's not this song (or any song), rather a chant
The word being repeated again, and again “Farvus Farvus” is translated to “Why Why”
Now that we've passed Chanukah, there's a bit of a lull in the Jewish holidays, but Purim is less than two months away, and Pesach (Passover) is a month after that. Maybe we can do something in honor of Tu Be'Shvat which is on February 6th. I recommend Ilan by Pittsburgh (that's the name of a Chassidish sect, named after their Rebbi who was the Rabbi of Pittsburgh for many years).
Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/VUaAAj3t_HU/v-deo.html
Unfortunately, there's no video. Amazing song though.
K, here, I found you a rendition with a music video. It's a medley, and live. This would be a great performance to react to in honor of Tu Be'Shvat on February 6:

To be honest, the song Ilan isn't done justice if it doesn't feature a child soloist. This one may be better:

I'm not sure why someone recommended this song from shmueli. There are so many better videos of his singing. Especially some live performances. No one can beat his amazing energy.
Probably because it has a music video showing elements of the Seder, children, food, etc., aspects of Jewish culture that @PortuguesePai is good at noticing and commenting on.
By the way -- Shmueli has lost A TONNN OF WEIGHT the past few months - you would not recognize him. Also, Hershy composed ths song.
Passover liturgy
Actually the singer today looks different he lost tons of weight
Looks like post malone🤣🤣
Hershy has more face tattoos than Post Malone
I want to see how fast you realize this is Passover.
The lisp is a lot of time part of their accent
I don't like this song even though I love both of them as artists..
not the best song picked .
First again
It's really fascinating how many humans in the comments confidently assert utter nonsense. Contrary to what most people are saying, this is not part of the Passover Seder. They have merely taken a single famous phrase from the Seder and poetically reinterpreted and elaborated on it, and that is what comprises 90% of the lyrics.
Yes, I was confused as well. Making it seem like this song is said at the seder, while only one small part is said.
We were responding to Portuguese Pai comments. But you are correct the Yiddish parts of the song is poetic reinterpretation of a more powerful idea.
Which phrase? I didn't hear anything from the seder
No need to be so aggressive
The video is 10 min. Until 3 min they are repeating Ma Nishtana Halaila Hazeh straight from the Haggadah and that’s the song title too.
If you would only do a little research on the meaning of the words before listening your whole perspective would be different and way more accurately
You keep suggesting/commenting that I should look up what it means or have translations....that completely defeats the purpose of me reacting to something I have no context of. If you're not a fan of me trying to figure out what's going on, I'd suggest maybe not watching my videos.
