The deeper message of this song was taught to me by my Rabbi on the day I left Israel (after studying there for 15 months) to head back home to college and start the next chapter of my life. The main verse in this song is 'Yerushalayim Harim Saviv Lah' which was written by King David in Psalm 125. The literal translation is that 'Jerusalem is surrounded by mountains' My Rabbi pointed out that is geographically correct (for anyone who has been to Jerusalem, youcan easily see from almost anywhere there are many mountains that surround it) Is that all King David was trying to point out? Something that we can so obviously see with our own eyes? The deeper explanation of this verse my Rabbi told me is that Jerusalem is known to be a place full of light, holiness, joy, purpose, connection, peace, and so much more. In other words, Jerusalem is one's 'ultimate destination' or the maximization of ones potential, when we feel most alive. But that Jerusalem, that place within each of us that we yearn to tap into, is surrounded by mountains. It is surrounded by obstacles of the challenges of this world. Health, relationships, finances, mental wellbeing, etc. We pray when singing this verse that we have the strength and passion to climb those mountain in life so we can reach our inner Jerusalem no matter where we are in the world. Sending blessing to all!
The sоng is great and all but let's remember that Nаzі Gеrmаnу had many bangers too. Erika, Funkerlied, Im Wald Im grünen Walde. It doesn't deny the fact that they соmmited countless atrосіties, tried to displace and erаse Jеws and Slavs. And ironically that's the same thing that ІsrаеІіs do right now to native РаІеstiniаns.

*THE GOSPEL* there is a God in Heaven, He created us, we were created to worship Him, enjoy Him, and delight in Him, but because of our rebellion and sin, we were thrust from the thrice holy Presence of GOD, making us enemies of our Creator, deserving of death and eternal damnation in hell. however, the LORD GOD, out of His compassion, love, and mercy gave His only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST, to take on human flesh. Christ came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His Life as a Ransom for many. Christ died on the cross because of our sins, the Just for the unjust, the Sinless for the sinful, the Righteous for the unrighteous, and He was risen to life for our justification, to make us right with GOD. by the grace of God through faith, we can be reconciled to our Creator through our Savior, Who is both LORD and God. - JESUS CHRIST is LORD and He loved us while we were still sinners to die for our sins and be raised from the grave for our justification as the sinless, perfect Lamb of GOD, Who takes away the sin of the world, fulfilling the righteousness that the law requires, which we, sinners by nature, could never fulfill. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD. however in this present age, we may now be saved by the grace of GOD through faith in Him alone, followed by the act of repentance or the turning away from all of our sins. we must be born again. JESUS CHRIST is the Way and the Truth and the Life. ✝️

Being agnostic, I cannot imagine how proud their parents not only feel about their kids but their religion and community. Being young and different from other kids is very hard especially in America yet all of these kids looked so proud as they sung in Hebrew, absolutely beautiful.
@@kashikaze9129 That melody is played over [what seems like] a common chord progression, but it's done in a way that doesn't make it as obvious. A lot of good Jewish music uses chord progressions where the intervals are farther apart. Maybe this is why some of the songs have strong vibes. The chords, being farther apart [from the preceding chord] in the scale, creates the awe that works for a lot of music including that which is used in epic movies.

I'm a Binyomin stan, but they all have their talents. I feel like Yoshi and C are slept on. Yoshi may not have the best voice out of all of them, but he brings a good energy and stage presence and is a strong start to the song. Love the pose he strikes at the end of his solo. C may seem timid, but he has a good voice and sets David up for success with that perfect buildup. David is a star with a great voice and great stage presence. He makes the song so hype. Binyomin keeps David's energy and blows everyone away with his amazing vocals. That boy can sing! Personally, I think that Yoshi and C could have shined more if they had gotten the chorus parts that David and Binyomin did, but they all did great
As an Orthodox Jew who waited every year for the new MBC music to come out, this makes me laugh 😃 We did this exact same thing 😄 judging and rating each singer. PS these guys are all random 9-5ers, driving their Honda Oddesy . The next time you see an Orthodox Jew ask them if they were in MBC.
I love how people are going crazy about this key change which is a standard style in Jewish music! (Dropping out some of the backing instruments previously, then bringing them back a half-step higher). Many MBC songs use it, as well as almost every other artist from the time. It has started to go out of use somewhat recently because it is somewhat of a cliche! XD

As someone who's best friend was in the choir, I can tell you that they were also extremely grueling. 2 hours a week with very few breaks. You don't get in to the choir if you're not willing to work hard. Doesn't mean they weren't fun. Just hard! XD

I'm not a fan of organized religion in any context, but these boys' singing reminds me what is good about it - it's hard to imagine people who could share such joy being in any way judgmental.

But that Jerusalem, that place within each of us that we yearn to tap into, is surrounded by mountains. It is surrounded by obstacles of the challenges of this world. Health, relationships, finances, mental wellbeing, etc.
We pray when singing this verse that we have the strength and passion to climb those mountain in life so we can reach our inner Jerusalem no matter where we are in the world.

When God said that the stars sang together at creation, he really meant David and Binyomin and that key change

Boy, they really hit that key change flawlessly.
As an atheist, I don't think I can ever believe in something, but the community and power that comes from faith like this is so heart warming.
Why do you refuse to recognize that there is a creator to this complex magnificent world?
@@MSW613 Do theists like you actually _believe_ you're being good witnesses to your faith who'll successfully sway people to your particular mythology when you say things like this? Do you believe 'life/evolution is complex, therefore god is real' is some humdinger of an argument? Scientists, biologists, etc. - people who are intimately acquainted with the complexity of the natural world and spend their lives studying it - are significantly _less_ likely to be religious, so I'd argue not.
@@MSW613 there is. But currently there’s tons of religions with tons of gods. No one can say which one is real if any. And besides. There could be a god ? But who made him. And then who made them and so on. We don’t just appear out of air yes. But we can’t say “we don’t know. So god”. That’s why I don’t. But I really respect ur view. And everyone else who is religious as long as u don’t throw it down our throats. U believe. We don’t

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 same
Imagine going to see kids sing, not expecting much, and getting hit with this absolute banger
Oh they were a huge hit they were the OG boy band . Nobody went expecting anything less.
@@azikbear Kind of? They eere pretty well known in the Jewish community but a good amount of people at their performances were family/friends that got dragged there. My Chumash teacher was in that group and used to hate having to go see them all the time.
I went with my kids to see a different Jewish boy's choir (I won't name names) and they were absolutely awful. Completely off-tune. It's a great benefit that Y. Begun (the director of MBC) is able to train them to all sing so perfectly together in tune. Not all Jewish boys choirs are like this, and MBC is probably the best.
@@joeldick6871 does that other group happen to start with a Y lol. I never saw anything about their live performances but their recordings were fine to me
@@cloakedsniper5016 yeah, recordings are fine, but I heard them live and they were terrible.

The fact that people are still coming back and listening to this after Oct 7th makes me emotional… I can’t help but feel like there’s a reason this went viral before then.

*THE GOSPEL*
there is a God in Heaven, He created us, we were created to worship Him, enjoy Him, and delight in Him, but because of our rebellion and sin, we were thrust from the thrice holy Presence of GOD, making us enemies of our Creator, deserving of death and eternal damnation in hell. however, the LORD GOD, out of His compassion, love, and mercy gave His only begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST, to take on human flesh. Christ came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His Life as a Ransom for many. Christ died on the cross because of our sins, the Just for the unjust, the Sinless for the sinful, the Righteous for the unrighteous, and He was risen to life for our justification, to make us right with GOD. by the grace of God through faith, we can be reconciled to our Creator through our Savior, Who is both LORD and God.
-
JESUS CHRIST is LORD and He loved us while we were still sinners to die for our sins and be raised from the grave for our justification as the sinless, perfect Lamb of GOD, Who takes away the sin of the world, fulfilling the righteousness that the law requires, which we, sinners by nature, could never fulfill. for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD. however in this present age, we may now be saved by the grace of GOD through faith in Him alone, followed by the act of repentance or the turning away from all of our sins. we must be born again. JESUS CHRIST is the Way and the Truth and the Life. ✝️

These beautiful children are singsing from their heart, praise be to Adonai.
Being agnostic, I cannot imagine how proud their parents not only feel about their kids but their religion and community. Being young and different from other kids is very hard especially in America yet all of these kids looked so proud as they sung in Hebrew, absolutely beautiful.

Lyrics:
"ירושלים הרים סביב לה, והשם סביב לעמו מעתה ועד עולם"

-This only has 2 phrases in it.
@@kashikaze9129 That melody is played over [what seems like] a common chord progression, but it's done in a way that doesn't make it as obvious. A lot of good Jewish music uses chord progressions where the intervals are farther apart. Maybe this is why some of the songs have strong vibes. The chords, being farther apart [from the preceding chord] in the scale, creates the awe that works for a lot of music including that which is used in epic movies.
@@fatfatat444albertkagan sorry I speak no Hebrew nor am I Jewish. I based my comment simply on the transliterations other people did which were always in 3 lines.

This song has no business being so good.
I will never ever get tired of this. 4 minutes and 11 seconds of sheer serotonin for the ears
1:04 is on a different level. What a magical voice ❤️
I love the sound of children singing, but his voice is just unreal. Like god parted the sky and put that boy down on this earth with his bare hands.
Beautifully-said. Agreed 🥰
The Rabbi disappearing from 4:00 - 4:02 is the most amazing part of this truly incredible performance
this is baffling, i never noticed this!!
… did he edit himself in for a final solo???
It's a compilation of at least 2 performances.
(That's not a rabbi btw, frum Jews just dress like that)
He’s probably just the choir conductor and not a Rabbi.
I'm a Binyomin stan, but they all have their talents. I feel like Yoshi and C are slept on. Yoshi may not have the best voice out of all of them, but he brings a good energy and stage presence and is a strong start to the song. Love the pose he strikes at the end of his solo. C may seem timid, but he has a good voice and sets David up for success with that perfect buildup. David is a star with a great voice and great stage presence. He makes the song so hype. Binyomin keeps David's energy and blows everyone away with his amazing vocals. That boy can sing! Personally, I think that Yoshi and C could have shined more if they had gotten the chorus parts that David and Binyomin did, but they all did great
YOSHI SLAYS
yoshi walked so the others could run
Y Begun knows what he's doing
As an Orthodox Jew who waited every year for the new MBC music to come out, this makes me laugh 😃 We did this exact same thing 😄 judging and rating each singer. PS these guys are all random 9-5ers, driving their Honda Oddesy . The next time you see an Orthodox Jew ask them if they were in MBC.
Yoshi set the foundation and had the hardest job. C is very stable vocally, he didn’t sway the notes.

I love how people are going crazy about this key change which is a standard style in Jewish music! (Dropping out some of the backing instruments previously, then bringing them back a half-step higher). Many MBC songs use it, as well as almost every other artist from the time. It has started to go out of use somewhat recently because it is somewhat of a cliche! XD

As a former choir kid I just KNOW these rehearsals were so much fun
As someone who's best friend was in the choir, I can tell you that they were also extremely grueling. 2 hours a week with very few breaks. You don't get in to the choir if you're not willing to work hard.
Doesn't mean they weren't fun. Just hard! XD

@@thisismej8665 Perhaps the reason I love this so much is because I couldn't understand the lyrics (I don't speak Hebrew and I'm not Jewish)! All I understand is that this group of boys is singing from the bottom of their souls, every one, and means every word they sing. I'm not a fan of organized religion in any context, but these boys' singing reminds me what is good about it - it's hard to imagine people who could share such joy being in any way judgmental. They make my cynic's heart happy, and I'm grateful for that. :)
