I think they did a pretty good job.

Very nice song. I don't understand what it has to do with the tidal wave

I think he's referring to the clips of the tsunami waves ripping through Japan towards the end of the video.

Oh, I was focussing more on the song than on the video...
Maybe they are trying to say that there's a connection between the fact that Japan is holding these bochurim for nothing, and that Japan was the site of a catastrophic tsunami. I'm not saying that's my opinion, just saying maybe that's what they r trying to show...

For the record, the trailer was out even before the tsunami, which means that they added the tsunami part into it between the release of the trailer and the full song...

I am all for helping the kids in Japan but can I roll my eyes? It's bad enough that they have to be in jail, but to make a video like this?

Did anyone else notice, but in the original trailer they had a short clip of Shloimy Daskel singing with one of the buchrim behind a glass wall and now in the video they took out that clip.

Intresting..

Here we go again! The Askonim released a PR today that this isn`t associated with them, and all checks should be mailed to another address....

@hocker, it is true.

The clip is very nice, but the money is going into a few guys pocket, and not going to this charity.

From very good source...

The part where you see the bochrim in jail, can jeopardize a lot, as one isn't even allowed to film or take pix there, and in japan they don't go easy on such things.

why would yidden take advantage of such a tragedy for their own personal financial profit? I find it hard to believe to be choshesh that these ppl would do that, and if it's true it absolutely boggles my mind.  I really hope that it isnt....

I do agree that it is wierd that they didnt just directly tell people to pay the already existing tzedakah funds that have been set up... ???
