AS AN ENGLISH HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER IN ISRAEL,
I'D APPRECIATE THE LYRICS TO YOUR SONGS SO I CAN TEACH THEM TO MY PUPILS

Every year before the High Holidays, I check out your website for the brand new Jewish holiday video because it educates, enlightens and empowers. This year's video is exceptional for its beautiful visuals of ISRAEL, its spiritual message of each person's light and dark sides, so STARWARS. To quote YODA from STARWARS "Fear Leads to Anger, Anger Leads to Hatred, and Hatred Leads to Suffering" and the singing and dancing, so uplifting. KOL HACHAVOD.

Love the video's guys. You are really making my day in America. I want to move to Israel.

BS"D
Is there a DVD of these 4 making other videos? I am the cantor at the Orthodox Shul in Moncton New Brunswick and I was thinking something like this would be a nice addition to our shul library, especially for the younger members. Job well done to the four young men in the video, may Hashem continue to greatly bless them in their spiritual journeys.

it is really funny and hellps people with there learning because i watched it at scool today and every body was having so much fun and swmilling

I love this song and video. I have watched the video so many times. Actually heard the song playing at the oriental restaurant this afternoon.

Sheer joy watching these young men. Wonderful message. Wonderful talent.

Thank You sooo much for this great song, It is so funny I have looked it so much time!! Please more !

Loved it! This music harmony is so cool. Will share with my friends

d video is moving.....i luv it. how do i download it..i'ld luv to share it wit my friends...pls reply..tnx

As with the other one, Rosh Hashana Get Clarity, I watched it twice, wrote it down, and now singing it. LOVE THEM!! Great job!

Very moving video. What is difficult for me in the message is when one tries to make up for past mistakes (last year, or last decade) and the community/society doesn't let one move on.

b"h this video brings tears OF JOY to me! the sweetness of the neshamas of these guys! and how they are representative of all of Klal! the sweetness of all the souls of Klal!
Aish is stupendous!
i love Aish!
May all of Klal be signed and sealed in the Book of Life, i"h.
kol tuv,
Chava

Chana, unbeknownst to the guys who produced this inspiring music video, it was made for you! What an amazing journey.... HaShem watches out for all of His children, no matter how far.Welcome home.

Great Message and nicely done! The true meaning of the New Year - examine, repent, start new - that is one of G-d's blessings - he gives us this time to ask forgiveness and start new. Love it!

this is wonderful! thanks so much

I replay this over and over. I was raised Christian, married a Christian, raised my children Christian. Then I discovered that my maternal grandmother had been Jewish but had converted to Christianity, hence my own upbringing. I had always felt drawn to Judaism, and I never knew why. Now I knew. For several years I struggled with knowing what to do. Do I change horses in the middle of this stream? My SOUL is JEWISH, but what about my marriage? Over time my confusion just got worse. Then as last Rosh Hoshanah approached I watched this video. Repeatedly. "When you're true to yourself you set your soul free." "Bring out the ultimate you for show and tell." "Look to your roots." "This is the time to hit rewind." So many lines in that song spoke to me. By New Year I had embraced who I was. This video pushed me off the wall and into my new life. Thank you, thank you.

That is amazing! Hatzlacha on this new path of life Shana Tova!!

Chana, the song is inspirational to you and your story will be a source of inspiration to others!!! Keep going!!! =)

i loved this song!!!!!

So good performance! So good voices! So good scenes to "paint" Rosh Hashana as a new start! Causes such a good mood in my heart! Thank you, great job, boys! Please continue!!!!

I have loved the AISH students in their What Makes Rosh Hashanah Beautiful video. The world needs the hope expressed in the video more than ever in the last 70 years. The world also needs to know the beauty, love, care and joy that Israel and God have and want to offer the world. Too few know it. I hope I didn't wait too long but I submitted the video to Ellen Degeneres show for the new year celebrated on Jan 1 in hopes it will be used in a broadcast and awaken many like a shofar blast! What surprised me is how the one fellow so reminded me of Buddy Holly and the 'dancing' within the video which Ellen does love as do I! I would love to see it broadcast and prayerfully bring interest to AISH the young men and perhaps create a future that could help the students, their families and many more! Everytime I play it, it brightens my day and if I would have a very sad day or troubled time of it ... When it plays it ALWAYS brings joy to my heart and soul ... compliments of AISH Israel and our God! I will also send a CD by post and note the great dancing in Rosh Hashanah Rock Anthem! Just incase the URL's don't translate etc.! I am excited but it took a lot of nudging even for me to go forth. All the other mis-information being broadcast there needs to be some truth and hope for all! I pray it brings many blessings to each and everyone that hears it! Praise God and let us all pray for the lasting Peace for Jerusalem! Rick =)

I love "Buddy Holly", too! They're all great performers, bu he's especially awesome to watch!

Just the lift I needed this day. My prayers are with you and that you prosper

I love this song and video -beautifully done! Are there any more by this group? My son requests seeing it over and over. Thank you Aish

Love the sound of Israel, Keep up with the songs and videos, the're a great groups of jewish young men.

I love this filmclip boys!! Thankyou, we need more of you - besos xx

This is my son Yakovs favorite video. He's only four. He asked me if that's heaven while pointing to Yerushalayim.

Absolutely Awesome!!!! The guy's are GREAT!!!

i love all your songs. I showed them to my friend she is addicted

Thank you so much for sharing this video of good will and encouragement to better ourselves. Been listening to it over and over.

Love it!

Really Good Love it

I'm Catholic and love the message of these videos. So blessed to have found this website.

AWESOME! I WAS SO BLESSED BY THE DVD OF RUSH HASHA'S BEAUTIFUL! SO HARD TO FATHOM, I AM HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, 62 YEARS OLD AND EXPERIENCING SUCH BEAUTIFUL JOY IN THE LORD. I AM VERY PROUD OF THE YOUNG MEN WHO HAVE PERFORMED THIS MUSIC. TODAY IS A NEW DAY IN HIM! I AM REFRESHED TODAY. BLESS YOU GUYS!

I love this video and can' t stop listening to it and sharing it with family and friends. The lead singer's voice is inspiring. I wish I could get this for my ring tone! Thank you!

BEUTIFUL, I LIKE SO MUCH,, CONGRATULATIONS!!

These guys are good---just sayin'! Playing this over and over and not getting tired of the music or the message. Where can we buy this stuff??

Wow I love this on so many levels. It's so uplifting, it's fun, it's relevant and I am not Jewish. It gives such inspiration, I can't express the words on how this has impacted on my heart. Most of all the words wow, so real, so true and so much depth....love it!!...could say more but my word would not do any justice to how impacting this song is...wonderful..thankyou!!

Love this video. I play it over and over.

I have to say this is so upbeat and fun that even an infidel (like me a Lutheran) gets into the beauty of the holiday. I only wish the other new year's celebrations throughout the world brought the beauty of G-d and it's promises into it. I too got a tear in my eye with the blowing of the shofar. I wish you all the blessings of a beautiful New Year.

What a lovely way to start the New Year. Happy New Year To all of Kol Isreal

I love the Video!

I want to buy thier music . Love it. How can I do that.

We love it's modernity!

ggreat song.........we need some of this for our Jewish Community in Trinidad and Tobago

Wonderful lyrics to a great song. Very inspirational. Made me proud to be Jewish. Happy new year to all

Great job! Shana Tova to all.

I lvoe in, on many levels. Makes me proud to be Jewish, among many other things that do it also.

Love it!

well done guys!!

Shana Tova...this is outstanding.

Universal message that touches everyone. THANK you! Loved it.

Shalom and thank you for posting this video!! I homeschool our 4 children and as we were watching this today during class (while talking about why we celebrate Rosh Hashanah), I started to realize how much my relationship with God has grown (now being 33) and also how far my children have to go to get there as well. What an inspiring video to young and old--let us NEVER forget to wait for our Heavenly Daddy to come home and always, always be excited for His return! Blessings to you and your family :)

I love it

really like these guys they are GREAT!

So beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes! Thank you guys, I loved it!

Great video to get message out!

Toda raba to you and to this fantastic band. Great music, great message (old and modern, always true!), so good... Shana tova!

It was great! You all did an awesome job! Singing, acting, filming, etc was all wonderful!

Good job guys and what a wonderful voice to the young fellow with glasses, adorable.

The song is beautiful and inspiring. Just touched me. These students sang it with passion that they were able to relay the message in a cool, light manner yet gets into your heart. Congratulation. Yes we should be one even if i am from the Philippines.

wonderful thank you(:

It's beautiful it made me cry thank you may G-D bring joy to all the world

My heart is filled with joy and encouragement!!!! Aloha from Maui, HI

This is the music I love! They use words that I have said in my mind and wish all songs were as inspiring as these. Don't stop the music..I'm listening and pray to God others will to..absolutely joyfull!

:-) You Jews in Zion made my heart pumping of joy with your bumbum bombastic fantastic joyful rhytm of the song celebrating New Life New Beginning of Rosh Hashana 5773! Kiitos-in finnish! Tack-in swedish!

I wish more artists would create music like this. Uplifting, joyous, and with meaning. This was a blessing to watch and listen.

Shana tova u'metuka l'kulam

How cool is this! These guys are great! Whats the name of these guys! Thanks for putting this on line!

It's absolutely inspiring, touching, awesome, and just fantastic! I looooove it!! :)

Do the student singers have a CD and if so how do I get one. I love that song.

Just download the video! At top right there are three tabs, the lower one showing a 'down' arrow. Click on it...

Just what the doctor ordered! A great uplifting and inspirational short film with a lasting message. I can't wait to share it with others. Thanks kids!

I love it! Beautiful. Shalom, and Thank you!!!

I think I have watched this video at least ten times, and still love it! Great job everyone, keep up the good work. Wishing everyone and sweet and healthy new year.

Although being a catholic, I felt myself caught by this meaningful words on Rosh Hashana! That is it!! I loved it! To all my Jewish brothers and sisters, Shabat Tovah!!! Love, Mônica

Thank you for this beautiful song. I've listened to it again and again, because the voices/harmony/rhythm are so deeply satisfying. However, it would be remiss of me to only listen, without absorbing the song's true message: Pause. Stop. Reconsider. BEFORE we do or say anything! We can each play a role in recreating the world by choosing higher and better than we did yesterday.

I love it!!!!

I love this short video . Absolutely fabulous . Thank u for sharing it

I noticed that some of those with more critical comments, need to watch the video again, because they didn't get the message or didn't like from whom it came from the guys (didn't fit their stereotypes). To the one who wrote about "washing the "cup", I see that their "cup is clean inside & out", so why spit in it. It is very clear these guys believe & live their message nearly every day. That is why both Judaism & Jerusalem are so beautiful to me, who was raised Christian & American.

I`m from Brazil and I love this hit! Thanks!! SONIA

I get goosebumps every time I watch this. I love it. Toda Raba! Do you have any other songs out there to share? I would love a whole CD of music like this to listen to!!

Where can I get them on CD? That's what I want to know! Absolutely loved it....I keep playing it over and over and over again, I find myself dancing in my seat and smiling ear to ear....haven't done that in so long, it feels good. Thank you.

What Makes Rosh Hashanah Beautiful video is so inspiring, exceptional, is giving a new meaning to the song. I enjoy very much and I feel beside you the joy of new begining year. Sorin / Ontario, Canada

ESTE VIDÉO É MAGNIFICO,AMEI O GRUPO MUSICAL O POVO DE ISRAEL É MARAVILHOSO QUE LUGAR MAIS LINDO

Beautiful song and message! Thank you and keep them coming!

une facon actuelle et moderne de presenter les voeux de Roch Hachana. C'est interessant et surprenant

You have so many educational and wonderful things here. Shana tova. Greetings from Iceland.

great concept and music to communicate it

I wanted to get up and dance! Thank you for such an inspirational video. Also, the photography was great. How did you do it? Underwater, reversing the scenes etc....

Keep up with the good works, Shalom:-)

I found this video which was released 2 weeks ago and I believe its a great video for Rosh Hashana and High Holidays. Its very inspirational! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGpojsECI_s Maybe you should put it up.

You guys are amazing! Your song and dance are taking the cobwebs from my soul.....I will have a great Rosh Hashana, blessed by your song!!! blessings to you!! shalom Eike

I watched this once, and I immediately forwarded the link to my friends. Then I watched it again and interestingly it was the second time, when I took in the meaning more, that tears came to my eyes. Kesiva v'chasima to all and I'm sure these wonderful young men will be entered in the Book of Life!

Toda Reba!

If this were really how Hassidim treated not just each other but everyone as well, and not just in time for Rosh HaShanah but actually all year every year-- Jerusalem would be a more beautiful city!!! But don't just wash the outside of the cup fellas, wash the inside also. ישוע חי!!!

is this accappella cuz it sounds like it

it was really cool

Great Talent thanks very enjoyable xx

Keep up the good work. It made me feel uplifted and spiritual for the entire song. Took me out of the present. We all need that is healthy for the Nesuama.

Thank you for the uplift! You guys should record. Encore!

A great video sung by a wonderful group of young men!

Brilliant lyrics, and great message. You guys rock!

y love yu

Just what I needed to hear , much love to all!

As a Christian who loves Israel I will say that I enjoyed this so very much. I found it very very professional and informative. G-d bless you all.

Mannnn, loveeee music beat singers words! These videos really do have such significant purpose. Put me right in the mood for High Holy days. Gives a little kick n encouragement to realize the priviledges and special things we can enjoy anew each year in Judaism. Todah Rabah!

Love it !!! very well done with a wonderful message... Keep up the good work...

Wonderful to listen to young men singing about what really matters.

The lyrics of the video are inspirational, but why does it have to be orthodox jews? I recently joined a Reform synagogue. The rabbi also uses music to inspire the congregation, but he doesn't flaunt his Jewishness by dressing all in black & white. The only sign of his Jewishness is a bright colored kippah. It's his words, not his clothes that provide the inspiration.

We are ALL Mainstream Jews! One G-d, one Torah, one Jewish People!!! Dress how you like, pray where you want. Dress etc. nothing but diversion, distraction, leading to delusion and division. One G-d, one Torah, one Jewish People. We are ALL Mainstream Jews! AM YISRAEL HAI !!!

Hi Ken! See I think it's all a matter of perspective. If you look at black and white-- they are the two most simple colours (shades). When we strip ourselves of all the labels- Abercrombie, Gap, Gucci, Prada, etc. etc. when we take that importance out of clothing, and when interacting with another individual can really focus on who that person is, rather than size up a person, or get distracted by what that person is wearing. So you see, in reality, black and white allow "words, not clothes to provide the inspiration." Judaism is all about "simplicity" (can you imagine that all those rules actually do make life more SIMPLE-->it's worth exploring) and black and white is about the most simple you can get. It takes me less than 10 mins to get ready in the morning because I don't have to worry about "did i wear this last tuesday?, I wore that the last time we hung out-- cant wear that again"..but eliminating the time spent on those types of time consuming decisions, I can focus on what's truly important--LIFE, FAMILY, & FRIENDS! But with all that simplicity, it doesn't say anywhere in the Torah that "thou shall wear black and white" so, you should #1 feel comfortable in wearing what ever you like, and this Rosh Hashana make it a point to keep discovering what's under the surface, both in other people, and our beautiful Torah. Shana Tova!

any of these talented guys looking for a shidduk? My daughter just finished seminary.

Very nicely done!! Beautiful voices & Enjoyed it alot! Thank you

Good text, good message, good video, good rhythm. But what hit me most were these professional sounding singers! They remind me of the Chevra. In short, very uplifting!

Love the fact that this song talks all about the soul/neshama inside...

Thank you soooo much i love aish music videos

THESE FILMS ARE INSPIRING, AND UP LIFTING THANK YOU FOR SHARING THEM WITH ME. GOD BLESS YOU BOBBIE

Was urged to watch by my daughter who is Yaakov hoffman's wife. So, My son-in-k=law the video star?

This is joyous and fun, and play full. Let there be LIght! We all wonder, what the Dickens is going to happen in the New Year, and we can all make it, better, this much, we all do know! Shana tova World!

Awesome! We need more. What a great message.

Love it, Love it, Love !!!

Love it,inspiring.

Once again you bring a smile to my face and a joy to my heart, all the while bringing forth a message of love. Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

beautifull. and the lyrics are phenomenal.

This video was beautifully done!!! Thank you to everyone who did this! I love it!!

The visuals and the verbals are very very moving! Thank You!

I'm more of a hard rock/metal fan myself. But I'm uninitiated and received a mini-crash course on Rosh Hashanah. So thanks! lol

THAT IS A SONG WE MUST HAVE ON OUR HEART TO BRING HONOR TO HASHEM, ALWSOME .

absolutely beautiful and inspiring. thank you

loove it!!great job!!

Great job boys! Very inspirational and a great way to a new year.

Thank you for such wonderful inspiration!

I loved your performance, up to date and YOFIE

Loveee it!! u guys r awesome:-)

What a great way to start the new school year! I will show this to my students as its the first day back! Thank you so much!

Thanks a lot guys, you're REALLY good. It's a good message, too. Reminds me of a story. Once, the Ba’al Shem Tov heard about a Chazzan for R”H who used all sorts of pleasant tunes (like Yours). The Besh”t checked this out, and found it was true. So, he called the Chazzan to ask him to explain why he used such happy tunes on the “Days of Awe.” The Chazzan said: If the servant of the King is sweeping out the dirt in the courtyard of the palace; and, the servant really loves the King, shouldn’t the servant be happy that the King’s courtyard is clean?” The Besh”t replied, “May my portion in the World-to-Come, be with yours.” Shanna Tova to all the Buch’rim, Ramim, and ALL the Aish staff. Thanks again, Reuven Frank

I really liked the video. Song was great and so hopeful. Thanks.

Name of your group?

Thank you so much!

This is very moving with great words and voices. But can you answer this one question. Where Are the Female Singers? If i can listen to male voices then why not include female singing voices. I find this a disturbing indiscrepency.

One Direction is a boy band. Does anyone ever complain 'where are the female voices'? this is aish's boy band. the other obvious reason is kol isha - acccrding to jewish law man cannot listen to a woman's voice. You may not follow that, but the students and staff at aish hatorah certainly do.

The Beatles... Rolling Stone...the Monkees... Led Zeplin...Queen.... Was something missing from any of these pretty popular groups? I think not!! Did anyone complain? I think not! Let's just enjoy & not always look for what's not there!!

I love the songs that come from Aish, keep them coming

Hi, As a Jewish educator, I am very disappointed with your taking of popular songs and adopting them to give off Jewish messages. The lyrics are phenomenal but the lack of originality using popular tunes is tacky. Overall this program is fantastic but I am sure you can come up with more original ideas to spread the same message.

they use popular songs because those are more likely to go viral. that's why youtube is filled with song parodies. And i thought this video and song were brimming with originality! here's an idea -- write the next song for aish.com. i'm sure they'll appreciate the help

Thankfully you don't teach any of my children; because a good teacher takes the student from their starting point, wherever it may be, and brings them forward. If you can't see that this music reaches the majority of our children (from their starting point) then you failed to teach them from the first word out of your mouth. Fortunately the educators at AISH know how to reach all learners - Baruch Ha'Shem.

Ever hear of Shlock Rock??!! These songs r a gr8 way to relate to kids !! The whole point of the message is in this remake of the popular song from One Direction!! Hmmm... One Direction... That could be a gr8 Dvar Torah on its on!! There are no coincidences!! Shana Tova to you!!

if people know the tune they are gonna be more ready to listen to it... i know i was... and isnt it better to have a "kosher" version of the same song???

Song like this have been the most effective. I have watched them thrive for the past 30 years. One example is Shlock Rock going strong for about 25 years I think. If that many kids support over that many years should prove something to you. The young people who are interested in new Jewish music are a huge group as well and the songs are on the internet but those kids don't need to be inspired this way, they are already deep in the religous world. This song targets young people who are not yet at that level. It opens the door for them, they take a peek and check it out.

i found this cute, in a corny way. and, when i say corny, i mean embarrassing.

You guys @ Aish only go One Direction...& that is up!! Thank you for yet another smash hit that sends home a meaningful message! Shana Tova to all of y'all !!

Embarrassing for you or for them?? They looked anything but embarrassed!! Yasher Koach to all those young men!! May you go from strength to even more strength !

All 4 are such talented vocalists, but the tall bochur in the center truly has a gift from Ha'Shem. What is his name?

I want this song!!! where can I download it???

Nice job guys! Way to use your talents!

It is such a cool clip! You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!
