Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

Two thoughts crossed my mind:

1. I think that if the person visiting was a Tomim he would have likely left his tefillin there before leaving, to make sure Mr. Simantov would have kosher tefillin every day without having to wait.

2. Can't see from the picture what the Arabic inscription on the flag of Afghanistan says, but based on Wikipedia it might be the Shahada, the first part of which might not be problematic, but the second part I would think is problematic, not something I would put on a tefillin bag.

Any comments or insights @bluestrings?

Lecha Dodi
Baruch Levine
its leil shabbos koidesh
he wanders on in
stands in the back
as the teffilos begin
the mystical words
of lecha doidi
theres something about
that sweet melody
invited for dinner
zemiros they sing
infusing his soul
with the joy that they bring
closing his eyes
his heart starts to soar
perhaps we can sing
that sweet song once more
לכה דודי לקרת כלה
פני שבת נקבלה
לכה דודי לקרת כלה
פני שבת נקבלה
they asked him who are you
and where were you born
ramallahs my home
but inside i feel torn
i was taught to hate jews
to hurt and to maim
but i felt a connection i could not explain
with anger and fury
thrown out of my home
confused and forsaken
i left there alone
but i feel something strange here
his voice fills the room
and over and over hes singing this tune
לכה דודי לקרת כלה
פני שבת נקבלה
לכה דודי לקרת כלה
פני שבת נקבלה
returned to my mother to say my goodbyes
she told me the truth
with tears in her eyes
i was taken by force
were jewish, now run
heres a picture to treasure
its where you come from
they gathered and stared
at the photo he held
an image of his grandfathers
grave it beheld
רב שלמה עלקביץ
his kever in tzfas
who wrote lecha doidi we sing leil shabbos
לכה דודי לקרת כלה
פני שבת נקבלה
לכה דודי לקרת כלה
פני שבת נקבלה
לכה דודי לקרת כלה
פני שבת נקבלה
לכה דודי לקרת כלה
פני שבת נקבלה

”I hope it doesn’t say anything inappropriate “

a quick google search returned this:

The national insignia of Afghanistan shall be comprised of an emblem and a pulpit in white color—at the two corners of which are two flags, inscribed in the top middle the holy phrase “There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his Prophet, and Allah is Great.”Sep 21, 2016

How ironic to have that on your tefilin?!

First time, I'm seeing this. The message is good, super weird video though. Maybe if it was a normal video it would've been more popular.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

@CountValentine you might want to take this tour when you come to Brooklyn. I can talk to Yoni and see if I can get you insider pricing for the tour (aka RDH pricing  ;) )

in general I find it weird that a lot of Male Jewish singers do these feminine moves and dances in music video

IIRC, some non-Jewish news outlets dubbed Lipa the hassidic Lady Gaga after that video.
(It is indeed notably strange.)
