      @@tristanfoss7469 I know you are most probably not serious, but I think you are wrong. The violin (or good music in general) functions through manipulation of emotions. |not through use of facts to shatter one's worldview ... "eh ehm why aren't you 60".
      So it makes you cry because of use of emotions, and it obviously cares about them because it is the reason has any appeal at all.

They have no time for their kids never sit down as a family to eat & let them watch unsuitable content on TV & internet. They let their kids do whatever they want & defend them when they know they have done wrong. Add that to the PC brigade that began in late 70s early 80s & we have a satanic Cabal upon the earth. My faith in the Lord is the only comfort i find from the evil being perpetrated upon society. Ben is def one of the good guys & it shows his parents had time & love for him.

      Why did you preface your comment with your religious affiliation? Did your being Catholic change how the music was meant to be heard? Did Ben being a Jew effect how the music was played? How could religion change who this music was meant for and their ability to understand sorrow? If Sir James Galway played this piece instead of Ben Shapiro would you have started your comment with statement of your faith? These are questions that relate to subtle anti semitism that is every bit as destructive to our society as calling someone a "credit to their race". Mr. Shapiro plays beautifully regardless of his or your religion. As a fellow Catholic I believe the music was meant for all humans, even those of religions different than Mr. Shapiro. And that makes us very lucky indeed.

      Many people consider their religion to play a major part of who they are. For example, Christians who wear crosses, Jewish who wear yamaka and Muslim who wear beards or hijabs are so devoted to their religion that they want the world to recognize them easily. In light of the current events in Israel and Gaza, the OP was just expressing love as a human being regardless of their individual religions. That's all....Peace and love from one person to another.

      The Old Testament has enough theology about a coming redeemer, that if a Jew/non-Jew read it and believed it, their soul would be saved. For example, all the godly people in the Old Testament are saved and in Heaven since righteous Abel. Roman Catholicism is one of the many FALSE religions. For example, the Spirit of God {the Holy Spirit} worked through Moses and gave instructions on the design of the tabernacle in the desert and the clothing the Hebrew priests should wear when they did their ministry duties. Later, the Spirit of God gave specific instructions to David on the design of the temple, later built by Solomon in Jerusalem. The point is -- God's instructions must be followed, to the letter. When a non-Jew decides he's a priest and puts on a man-designed garment, and attends at a marble altar with utensils made with brass, in a man-designed building---THAT'S BLASPHEMOUS! God chose the Hebrew families who would serve as the priesthood. And God designed every aspect of the tabernacle, and then the temple, the brazen altar made of acacia wood covered by copper, and the gold covered utensils in the Holy of Holies, etc.
      For the Jew and non-Jew whose souls are saved, we look forward to the Messiah reigning in JERUSALEM, and I believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Every time 'Rome' is mentioned in the bible, something bad is happening.
      The brazen altar represented what the Lord Jesus looked like on the cross. Acacia wood repels insects and snakes. God knew people would think a lot about Jesus's skin color, so He gave him a unique tone, in between black and white---His skin color was COPPER, which had the regal appearance of gold.

    Ben, in a few weeks it will have been one year since the casket of the most beautiful woman I've ever known, and whom I've loved for 52 years, was lowered into the earth. Ave Maria was played at her service. I wish I could play as well as you so that I could go to that little Montana cemetery and play for her.

      @@AdaAda-ez7db I don't like engaging in debates when I don't know my challenger, nor do I wish to write something inflammatory that I will regret. But and this is a very big but, I can and will write what and how I choose. You made an assumption which happens to be correct: I am a Christian who expresses her faith and lives it through and within Catholicism but for all you know, I could be a Jewish convert. As it is, for me, Christian that I am, the New Covenant is meaningless without the first. I respect and honor the Jewish people. I wrote the Name the way I did intentionally. I'll go you one better! Baruch Ha shem to the One who made people like Ben Shapiro and others whose faith shines through and yet is inclusive and respectful to all. I don't have to tell you this but I was married to an orthodox Jew and kept a kosher home because I respected him and his faith. Not incidentally, to anyone who might read this as a Muslim, I respect and honor you as well. Inshallah (with no negative connotation as the word sometimes carries in Arabic), we may all come to know G-d and love Him as He loves us so that He may work within us as He so deeply desires. A prayer for all taken from the Hebrew Scriptures: the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord lift His countenance upon you and be gracious to you and give you peace.
