Ari Goldwag: Ad Ava Bechiya



"Ad Ana Bechiya" are lyrics that come from the Tikkun Chatzot, or Midnight Lamentations. The Jewish people yearn for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and ask, "How long shall we cry over Zion and eulogize Jerusalem?" This music in this clip is voice only, and permissible to listen to during the Three Weeks.

Famous Jewish Mothers

Famous Jewish Mothers
What if these famous people had Jewish mothers? Frenetic comedy in the spirit of Purim.



I know it's Passover but I thought this video was still funny.

Pentakika: The Story of a Simple Jew



Rabbi Lazer Brody tells the story of Pentakika from Tractate Taanit of the Yerushalmi Gemara. Pentakika seemed to be the lowest Jew on the social ladder, for he was the caretaker of a brothel. Yet, his prayers were more powerful than those of the generation's greatest rabbis... the moral - never look down at another human being, no matter how insignificant he may seem. He could be a hidden tzaddik...

The Torah is G-d's Gift to You!




My Email is Awesometorah@live.com
The Torah can also be known as the Chumash and can also be found in the Tanach (Jewish bible) For a free online copy of the Jewish Bible please visit,
http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/63255/jewish/The-Bible-with-Rashi...
and for good Jewish books and torah please visit,
http://www.artscroll.com/
Artscroll's the best type. you might also find good stuff at
http://www.eichlers.com/
or
http://www.judaism.com/chabadstore.asp?cdo=chabad.org

if you cant find anything under Torah Try Chumash or Tanach and make sure your looking under books. and in fact even a Amazon or Ebay search might provide some good results but I wouldn't recommend it. Here's the companies i would recommend.
Artscroll, Matsuda, Feldheim, Judaica Press Atares, Koren Hebrew Publishing company, The Gutnik Edition is also good but make sure it's the entire Chumash and a further update. JPS is not kosher but some people make the mistake of confusing it as kosher.

Thank you for you time.
