    Yaakov Shwekey, Hashem blessed you with a gift to share with the world. G-d bless you Shwekey! Am Yisrael Chai

    I never realized Shwekey"s impact on the Jewish world. Yaakov Shwekey helped us connect the Sephardim and Ashkenazim in a beautiful way . His music gave way to many other amazing Jewish artists that are enjoyed worldwide by Jews and non-Jews .

    Totally agree with Shwekey, be careful what you listen to cause it influences your soul, and I can say that even though I don’t speak Hebrew, every time I listen to Yaacov sing it lifts my spirit.

    The first time I went to a concert of Yaakov Shwekey was in Paris 2012. I only knew his music for 6 months. We live in the Netherlands and we drove more than 373 miles for 1 evening. It was incredible!. After that we went to a concert in Paris 2 more times and once in London. Hope you come back to Europe soon.

    Yaakov é um levita ungido por Deus, carismático, simples, tem seriedade no que faz e ama ajudar. Ele canta com alma. Deveriam pelo menos ter colocado a legenda em espanhol, já que não tem em português. Pra nós brasileiros entendermos. Amooo ouvir suas músicas. Pernambuco

    Amei vê a Bandeira do Brasil em um concerto que Yaakoc fez em Telavive. A esta música que o mesmo cantou com os soldados israelenses é muito emocionante . Tem uma que fala na Torah desde que a ouvi chorava muito. Pedi pra minha filha vê a tradução e vi que falava na Torah, até hoje canto chorando.

    Every person must praise Gd and mention his name every day always because otherwise he is in hiding from him to be blessed will you know where the blessed name is he is? The whole world is around every cemetery and encompasses every cemetery and within every cemetery there is no site and place where its blessed light is not found or we do not reach it because the name he both sees you and hears you and also knows what you think and he understands the human heart because his great light is spreading throughout The whole world is a son in our physical and lower worlds that we know in the world of doing and a son in the heavenly and spiritual upper worlds that we do not know at all. And he who does not know the name will be blessed, he is in a big and difficult problem and he knew that the degree of justice of the name is blessed is imposed on him by the person who does not know his creator badly, because he created us and he created the whole world. Everyone control the whole world and do He is called as his will and darkness really and the same person who does not know his creator and creator is called a poor and miserable person and pity him for that person called a person who has no mind and is like a beast and he who does not think of the name will be blessed or he does not know him or he does not praise the name Blessed is he or every person who eats food without blessing before and after him the name will be blessed with the blessing of the Nahanin on the food that the name will be blessed he gave us with his many mercies and graces on us whoever eats whatever the name is in his mercy gave us it It is cursed at all and it is called a person who does not know his Creator and creator Bar Minan and Rahmana Letzlen and about him the verse is said that the word of the name in this Bar Minan about me and you Blessed be Yahweh forever Amen and Amen

    reference 1:05:42 I see you have Mr. Yaakov Shwekey up in a hobnobingit place asking a very sketchy almost illegal question which he skill fully avoids in that 'Wait a second why should I even be thinking about someone dead I would want to talk to because might that then want me to say pull a saul and contact samuel? or whatever the latest 'contact your past lives selves' scam is because everybody should be a knowing not to do Sorcery right? Anyway, cool hobnobingit interview! Hmph.
