hi this is dominolowski and welcome to
the special shavashira edition of the
raviolovsky show
[Music]
and whether you're watching with our
friends over at tour anytime whoever you
watch or listen to your podcast as
always we are happy to have you
um i did a shabbos in muncie years ago
for rabbi center and the robertson
uh had a word that she liked to use she
was using it to explain a number of
situations serendipity
serendipity means that you know uh
things move along in a particular way
whether you realize it or not you just
don't see it all all the time
so it happened to be that this group of
australians came to my house
um and it happened to be just before
shabashira so i said as long as you're
here why don't we make a musical
episode for shabashira and that's what
we did the first year on shabba shira on
the raviolivsky show
the second year we managed to bring in
some of the most sort of after musical
talent in the jewish world who had all
studied in the waterbury yeshiva and now
they're all in imribena
and they did a musical show last year we
were on zoom and i hummed it quietly to
myself as i said in my little room by
myself in a very very sad shiva now
hashem
this is the fourth shabashima show that
we're having
and as it happens in that in the three
and a half years of the raviolamski show
the show
with the waterbury boys was the highest
rated
show
and uh you know i make this look
incredibly easy part of that is the fact
that i'm so incredibly talented part of
that is just you know um the fact that
i've i've been i'm in the business many
many years
in fact uh when we're filming this it
happens to be my birthday
i'm 63 years old
which in gematria is sag because
everything starts to sing
i mean
thank you very much
that that wasn't meant for an applause
line but i'll take it
that's pretty good because you could
also read it backwards as gas and i
think there's
something to be said for that as well
but at any event
you uh you get old you get old you have
a little bit more experience so it's
it's it's easier but people don't
realize when you come on to this set
it is a challenge and almost everyone
who has been here has said gee i i you
know
i would like to do it again a little
differently et cetera you know
and uh so uh this is uh i would say the
first repeat performance or appearance
that we've ever had on the raviolovsky
show so before we go any further i'm
gonna ask right away our special guests
to offer us a special performance of one
of their special songs and then we'll
pick up from there
so this song is called uvnai by
waterberry massiveta composed by benny
stein ankara rachman gorgeous song
[Music]
in a house so
far from home
we're surrounded
[Music]
darkness
[Music]
me
[Music]
[Applause]
oh
[Music]
is
[Music]
oh
[Music]
[Applause]
is
[Music]
[Applause]
beautiful
beautiful the gift of music
um before we do our sponsorship i just
want to uh give a shout out to a good
friend of the robert rowlowski show uh
arie razza who got us a new ruby olavsky
show mug
um
with the new logo
if you didn't notice we have to change
the logo and so this mug reflects
the new
logo
which by the way is going to be used now
in various rubriolovsky show merch
okay
along with uh
pictures of all of the waterberry guys
[Applause]
why would you want pictures of one of
the guys well that brings us to our
sponsorship
we're sponsored by the chicago crested
fund in honor of their fifth annual
shots for shidduchim
[Applause]
and uh
if you sign up you get any one of them
i'm just kidding anyway
i'm just kidding you can get to it but
anyway
we are no singles who have been
struggling in the shitty world
maybe that single is you
maybe not
anyway
there are plenty who are trust me
oh you hear the stories all the time
such a difficult thing
as a community bound together by torah
values we would do anything to help
ourselves and each other through what
can be a very difficult parasha it
definitely is
i never got a second date with anybody
including my wife
what if i told you that there was a
powerful way to do that all you need is
the right skus
for shidduchim that's the number four
dot org
is a national initiative of the chicago
hessed fund that gives singles along
with their friends or family members an
impactful way to generate
this tupesvat on monday january 17th
mama sits here already
tube is
yes the musical wonder continues
january 17
hundreds of
lomdem will complete all of shah's in 24
hours as this course for claudius
singles
while you're sitting there eating dried
fruit they will be learning shas as a
skus
according to the manish
writers just like
in the sense that it is a tremendous
segula for singles looking to find their
perfect match
what better way to reinforce this
schooler than with the lemud hattora and
stockholm go to
saswashidohim.org
to sponsor adaf on behalf of yourself
or up to five singles that you know
so you can help
harness the immense power of tuberchev
stalker and limited torah all coming
together
yeah
and there's course and people should be
able to find their
see imagine
mitzvahed stalker stalker is matsumina
marvis right
and uh and uh
limited to it the entire world exists
only for limited time
and uh
and it's it says that person doesn't
give a person doesn't get married
you know
he lives without target doesn't have
tiger
yeah putting it all together with the
power of tupesfat tupeshvat is of course
like tuba of because it's exactly six
months apart
and uh two tuberculot is
planting in the frozen earth to be able
to get the fruits and perros that will
continually deriders
so it's such an amazing thing
all proceeds will directly support
chicago hesed funds many related
services that facilitate shidduchim year
round
including
consistent proactive outreach to their
extensive shadhanim network on behalf of
singles
that was probably one of the hardest
sentences i've ever written
i would rather say out the full
expression for dna than to have to do
that one again there's either we don't
try it again
inc including consistent proactive
outreach to their extensive shadhanim
network on behalf of singles
events and coaching that's easy
um
shaitals and wedding gowns for new
colors and their families and more now
who in their family is also wearing a
wedding gown and a shaytan i don't want
to get into that because that's too
problematic today in any event
als all joking aside this is such a
tremendous course and uh
uh they've sponsored with us for a
number of years because so many people
who watch the rabbinowski show
have shown their support
and uh
this is not just something that we're
doing for
for them it's something we're doing for
ourselves
and uh
listen if you see if you see a single
person who doesn't have a shadow
and you think that's not my problem well
that's a concern in your obviously so
if if that person's not married then
that person doesn't get to build the
bias that i'm gonna be yourself and that
person
doesn't get to have children yeah that's
my problem that's not just their problem
that's my problem and yeah you have to
when a question comes to show we don't
say tachman you know why because it's a
simcha for everybody that they're
building by his name on the israel this
is a tremendous host securius course at
chas for shidduchim.org
okay so uh i want to start by
introducing uh
our special guest for this shabbos i'm
going to start with
my son moshi huda orlavsky
known to the world for reasons that are
unclear to me to this point as mo young
i never called him oh yo i always called
him
because he was named for my father who's
25th yurt site
is going to be uh yud zion spot this is
25 years
and uh
and when
i had i had a daughter and i had another
daughter and then i had a son and he
said to me look i
had the chance to be sondik your
father-in-law never had a chance to be
sondik give it to him and i'll take the
next one
and then i had another girl and then i
had another girl and then i had another
girl and then i had another girl and
then he passed away
and um
uh so uh
oh i had another girl first another girl
in fact by that point he was very sick
and uh
he said that
he was um he had made arrangements to be
medevac to israel so that he could be
sunday so
he didn't make it so then after he
passed away i had another girl and then
i had a boy
and it's a little tricky because my
father is
moshi huda and my father-in-law is moshe
so i asked rashus if i could
if i could
name
for my father he said yeah just don't
call them moish they call me marsh just
don't call me so i was always carefully
called moshi
and uh and my my family thought that was
too long a name for somebody so small
and so they condensed it to mojo they
tried a couple of different what's up
they tried a couple of different uh
things and so most people refer to him
as moyo i always call him
because that's his name
call me crazy anyway
that's it and by the way uh i then had
another boy and i told my father-in-law
you know because you were so nice i'll
let you pick the name and so my youngest
son norbert will uh
kidding anyway
okay so monsieur it's good to have you
back yeah it's great to be back it's
funny you mentioned um grandpa
so i never had this close to me and
grandpa that would be awkward
like 20 years ago or something like that
25 25 you just said that correct
one of the things i got from grandpa was
memory loss actually
he knew was named uh uh uh uh
the guy what's his name uh uh uh it was
like it was always playing charades
every time he spoke anyway yeah
um that's actually funny i was telling
someone yesterday
um that
i'm named
and that's really irrelevant
really what i want to speak
about anyway it's it's really really
good to be back on the show i'm super
excited you know two years ago it's been
a long time we've been through covert
since then we've been through like all
sorts of like stuff delta variant we've
been through the only you know what i'm
saying we've been through a lot i
actually had the only this is the first
uh time we're having guests since
copenhagen right
now
when i was doing it on zoom so we did a
perm one with jakob and right you
know all of us huddled together
a little thing and i looked like i was
being held hostage anyway
oh my gosh um but yeah it's really nice
to be here wonderful
and with you is sannenberg
from baltimore
um i'm named also after my greater
grandfather's arts it's not coming up
but uh that's that's the fun fact for
now all right eddie produced thank you
mommy
thank you
[Applause]
go out there and support and thank your
mommy
let's go for those who don't appreciate
it i put up on i mentioned on the show
and i put up on the website it's still
there uh mostly who composed a song in
honor of my wife's birthday
um
uh called we love waterbury i don't know
i couldn't say that
thank you thank you
and so that was uh that was uh very
exciting so we uh
uh he composed it he uh produced it very
nice
and
ellie dex and i'm not named after any
grandfather but
um i am doing that after ellio navi
which is pretty cool
i thought i could add that
[Applause]
this is your first podcast yeah yeah
i'm not the best at this but we're gonna
try this this is listen it's a new
experience it's very exciting there's
nothing to be nervous about everybody's
watching you now yeah and deciding
should i consider this guy
he went there
yeah he did
but don't worry
this is a safe place and finally
returning
from farah and i've been here before
zip code
and street address house number you know
people ask me do you believe in
reincarnation and i say in my last life
i didn't but since then
i've been coming around to the idea so i
i find this uh fascinating from the last
time you guys won the show because
the reaction we got was tremendous
obviously um because of just the
tremendous amount of talent and
playing and singing and composing
and uh
and i'm reminded of a story that i heard
many years ago
a guy was in hyberlin and he asked for
putting a uh if he could play a classic
and he said to him it's not a good life
for you should have buffer because
you're out late at night and you kept
getting up in the morning afterwards and
you know
but uh but
do you feel that you have
talent he says yeah i have talent
singing and playing and composing he
says then you always have to find
the best
teacher
to make sure that you continue to
develop this because if a kurdish
borough who gave you a kayak
to use it that's an unbelievable idea
um
reuben and good
they say we can't go in there throw we
have lots of cats
so answer because they say so
no problem make a big barbecue you know
on the range if i don't call you shop
eat up all the cows and not go in there
and chill you're going to give up
married child because you have a lot of
cows
and the answer is he says if i could
give you something you're not allowed to
waste it
you can't just throw it away because
who gave you all these cows he wants you
to
uh he wants to be a herder
you know
so um uh so it's it's something that
could send you away and if you have a
talent that the coach broke who wants
you to develop it
the question is
has that situation changed in client
yourself are people discouraged now from
developing
natural talents whether it's in music or
it's an art or it's in performance or
anything else amazing wow
i really really like that i really like
that topic good question it's great yeah
i'm saying so
you mentioned that
so mikhail is just very into like this
idea
ruby kalish is uh
whatever right is that high school
actually what's the official name um
no so this this idea of like of like
embracing and like like expressing
talent within like the firm wall the
firm world um as a guy many girls i
think do have more opportunity in this
area because and it makes sense because
like it became like more of a girly
thing to be like good at art and stuff
like that
um so they'll have like a play and a
show it's all like guys there's
something that averages shiva won't
and something requires very into is he's
very into like sports and he's very into
music and there's a guy actually that no
one ever knew he like he could draw he
came to waterbury and like
two months later the guy's like
drawing up the coolest like like just
like amazing different type of art
and and yesterday i was talking to my
rebbe about this idea i remember it and
he brought in a very cool idea he said
that he always thought
that the reason why kayla's just so into
all these different like side outlets
and he invests so much in it is so the
guy will get good association with the
other sky through that and then hulk
come to the base magician do the real
big boy thing of learning tyra
and he said recently he said he he
understands a completely different a
deeper way and it's not true because
because
i shall give someone a talent
with any talent that god gives someone
you could serve as shown with that
talent meaning a basketball game could
be just a basketball you're just hooping
around or it could be that like i'm
working on my meters i'm working on my
on my competitive like side like i'm
we're going to stop the game to pick up
yamaha that's why you shoot us i'm sorry
this idea of like taking the talent like
cabin
type of idea
and and take it like i'm very into that
it's just like it's a very broad topic
too when i toured nursing i had a
guy who came and asked me a question
they wanted him to be in the perm
play they didn't do a spiel they did a
play it was a it was a real real deal
performance you know it was uh
some of the most amazing things
because they had people who actually had
been in the entertainment field you know
you know smith
and this guy said to me
they want me to be in the play
i'm going to have to spend a lot of time
in rehearsal uh can i justify the bitter
tire
i said a hundred percent
it's it's
a purim spiel has such
a power in the firm community
in the yeshiva it brings achtus and it's
it's social criticism i mentioned this
of course and the quechua's you know how
when you write a comic strip you can say
things that you can't say you know
normally the same thing in the forum
play you know you can you can say things
that you can't say
normal context you know
listen
imitation is the is the finest form of
flattery i mean i when i was in yeshivas
and they used to imitate me i loved it
because
you get to see insights that you never
realize
one year they do mean the prime play i'm
sitting there talking i mean
and then i stop and i go like this
and everyone left i was like what's that
and the guy did it like three or four
times i said what's that because
remember you do that all the time i said
they never do that you know
anyway the next time i said point it out
to me so i wasn't sure i was doing the
whole thing and then i stopped i went
like this
and they said see
oh now i understand i said because
there is a method to the madness and i
try to
throw in enough you know
humor and fun to get the point across
but not so much that it should be cause
roach so i try to stop but i never
realized that about myself you see it in
yourself so a person who's who's upset
by an impersonation
i think on some level they're just
afraid to see themselves
to make my own uh porn play with just
men that would be a lot of fun with
songs and this and that you know and
because i think we're going to trigger
this kissing okay sign up um
i have three different um i have three
different uh
what do you call it uh scripts that i
wanted to develop but uh i just don't
know you know i'm gonna make it time i
keep i keep trying to pretend that i'm a
real rabbi and i feel like if i do a big
play production i think it might take it
away
we fell for it
give me a second
i don't know if i should do it
anyway
anyway yeah it's it's a problem
moyo said it very very good and i would
just add that that uh
anytime that
mix is what you're saying as a person
with talents and we have many different
aspects of us every once in a while for
a guy to to show what his gifts are and
to put it on stage put him up there put
him in front of guys and to and to be
out there and express and it's it's a
nice it's an opportunity
but also like when friends get to it's
it's an exercise where people get to
appreciate it and and laugh and enjoy
with their friends and enjoy and then
and then appreciate the gifts that they
have appreciate what hashem's given them
i think that's very powerful
wow amazing yeah i i think the world
nowadays is getting more open to do
these type of things
like waterberry you know what
the problem is when you talk about the
world
things are
dividing so much
you know what do you mean
people are either moving to the right or
they're moving to the left but
trying to maintain that balance it's
very harder so
in in the real
there's certain circles in clay israel
where the guardian principle is passing
you try to close it in more and more and
more
i just did a whole fila series uh on the
podcast and um i just want to read next
up next next episode i want to read some
of the letters that i got it's amazing
how many people said that they felt like
they're enough to discourage them from
davening
it was like yeah it isn't just just
you know
so it's a problem so there is within
society a certain aspect where people
realize it's not working
you know
there are certain things in the in the
uh way things are set up that aren't
working and other people
do
their response to that is to double down
and make it more intense yeah and
try to claim down hard
yeah
i think some of us could relate to that
maybe
it's a it's a big problem because you
know
look i i went to have a time you know
and uh ravenclay boards
uh
i heard the story when i was in yeshiva
so it was making the rounds i hope i
hope i'm not playing everybody's covered
roshaya cohen have you ever show your
car
yeah uh if i already won
yeah
yeah oh yeah he's tremendous
he's unbelievable underground yeah
and uh
he wanted to come together time
and his parents were afraid to learn go
to this yeshiva yeah
so the so his parents told the rest of
shiva we'll let him come if every sunday
he can come home and watch tv with us
wow
what would they say today interesting
we can't have such a boy now you should
well she said of course
i can get a guy for six and a half days
and all i have to do is pay a couple
hours and i should go and watch tv
so
but but you have to have you have to you
have to be big enough that you
understand
you know how how the world works
we'd have a similar special ever you
know and barcelona would be playing the
guitar and his father with moisture
shape would be playing the harmonica
yeah it was
there was there was a feeling to
encourage people to be able to use their
talents in i
i feel like in certain circles in
clydesville that's being stifled
how many times do you ever hear where a
boy says this is that and and the baby
says just learn just learn just learn
just learn you know it's always saying
that's uh yeah i wanted to add that
personally like growing up like but it's
a in the yiddish credit world it's it's
a lot of torah which is amazing thing
and sometimes not every kid is amazing
at learning and
a lot of times doesn't have a lot to
like look at himself and be like oh i'm
so good at this and that's where he
picks up lots of music or something else
and i think that when it comes into like
the jewish world and like we appreciate
people's other talents more it gives him
more uh i feel like self love because he
just feels like he's struggling and
learning and like
he's like ah like i don't know like what
i am now like i just i feel like i can't
but really he just needs more like
self-confidence he connects to that body
on the way to the other towns like i
must not be good at other things too
right exactly probably
right no that's a good point it's like
i'm not i'm not
i
experience this myself because i have
so many learning disabilities i haven't
even identified them all every time they
find a new one i have it you know and
dyslexia and focusing all kinds of
problems and i was never really
successful with learning and
in order to overcome it
it takes a tremendous amount of
confidence
and i didn't have any confidence and i
wasn't getting it from the people around
me they just said if you cared you would
try harder no no one knew what learning
disabilities were they just said he's
he's lazy he doesn't try he doesn't care
he doesn't know i cared terribly but i
just couldn't i looked you look look at
the page and it's out of focus and it's
just
words
words and words and words you know and
aramaic with no punctuation and no no
vocalization and no anything it's just
like yeah i'm sure you tried very hard
and so eventually i went in csy and i
became uh
a legend basically uh
i tested positive for being a
larger i started
i started in l.a in l.a i wasn't i
wasn't a legend i was an actual god i
could have started my own religion
it was la in the 70s i mean i could have
i respect yourself i could have made
myself i could have made myself my own
little compound and stuff you know i
mean
anyway i didn't have enough motivation
to become a god anyway
so uh at least you understand yourself
yeah listen you know that's what when i
came when i moved to la i moved back to
long island it was great because there
you know uh
they don't have that same sense of
of or that they have in la it's like
[Laughter]
excuse me
brings you back down to life you know
what i mean but uh
but you know when i had the confidence
then i was able to go back and i could i
was able to face it but a kid who
doesn't have that confidence and doesn't
feel like he's successful so then what
happens he's he falls by the wayside
yeah it's not a cutesy thing either
there was there was music in the
basement
that was like a very real thing that
they did
created the whole time
and
and the i think it's the mate frame he
says the the gunam that we use on yom
kippur or the yamarajam have the ability
to be
chuva the music itself
it can uh it can move you and you know
that you can listen to
listen to music i want to talk about
music in a second but maybe let's do a
song yeah so actually this song is
perfect that's all i'm about to say
because i want to talk about music next
yeah so this one we're about to sing is
a song that because it's not a release
song it's called the anika vessel
kimberly type which just happens to be
my favorite puzzle um
i have a lot to say about about vanity
vessel
um i would say that two years from now
the next time you get on the show
yeah
i'll say my fifth fifteenth yeah but uh
no there's something over the course
it's very interesting but nick wrestling
really represents i think a lot about
this
it's when you're close to hashem like
things are good but not just good like
nice like
okay
speaking of limitations i don't know if
we should do it as we're speaking about
it oh no it's not a farm
no but um emotion that has a
ways you can put different voices here
you're going straight you're doing great
turn around turn around you're going the
wrong way keep going don't stop ever
this relationship on the left
connection's on the right
but i'm sorry so this one really
represents a lot about this side there
and close the marriage onto the highway
it's the
[Music]
for writing the song
the family by the way are so talented
and composed a lot of songs should be
coming out they have a lot of really
awesome songs coming out they always
make great pizza
right right that's that's his actually
the family no the relationship i'm just
kidding
no that one of them is a caterer yeah
the father yeah
that's that's different
[Music]
[Laughter]
the
time
[Music]
the
[Music]
[Applause]
[Laughter]
[Music]
[Applause]
please
[Music]
please
[Applause]
oh
[Music]
[Applause]
me
[Music]
so like you spend a lot of time like
singing and playing as friends this time
yeah i mean mainly
make a little bit of time for music yeah
because it's like i i i it's
very uh margie it's very it's very uh an
emotional kind of a thing that has a
tremendous power you know
when i was in when i was in yeshiva
river
he had a digging he was always used to
saying well he was learning you know it
was just
i don't know what what the original
was etc but he was always
sometimes i i personally can
find it a little disturbing when you're
sitting there trying to learn the guy
behind you is doing a concert you know i
do everything
i have a good reason why because it gets
me into turn it gets me into learning
it's not me it doesn't get me into that
yeah
i i i do everything that's what he tells
us
i know it gets me ready and then i just
learn from now and then he asked me why
i don't want to come back get my next
guy
no dude it's not you it's me yeah yeah
yeah
it was sometimes the singing i'm
thinking but
i don't even want to do the tune but
there was the guys were listening to
some kind of a song i know it gets stuck
in your head you know sometimes you get
a song stuck in your head and you can't
get it out you know
and i started singing this song and the
guys come up to me and say baby you
don't want to sing that
i won't tell you what the song was oh
it wasn't like that
was very nice but the words are horrible
and i didn't know because i never heard
the song i just heard the tune people
saying it i never either
when they came over to me and told me
what the actual words were i was
surprised
yeah but of course you know sometimes
with music you can't always tell you
know
um
who is it who wrote that song when his
kid died
because i know
up in heaven um james taylor maybe or
something like that that is a beautiful
naked it's a beautiful thing but you
know
right so it's
music becomes very
becomes very tricky right you know
i i mean you you you hear music
sometimes
but
there's nothing about it that's that's
jewish you know
that that's exactly what you're saying
we were talking about a few days ago
yeah it's i'm saying sometimes you could
hear a jewish song that's not jewish
and i'll not do a song that's very much
jewish
this song over here where he wrote this
song about his kid who died it was so
moving it's so beautiful you know but uh
it's like shoots i wish he was jewish
we lost one
oh man somebody told me that was schwab
had told his family they should listen
to classical music because it's closer
to jewish music than contemporary jewish
music wow and that's that's that's when
he goes i guess somebody how that could
possibly be and and someone explained to
me i don't know i don't know enough
about music to tell you this that
classical music came out of the
gregorian chants which were taken from
the nigunim in the base of mikdash
that's what they say so that there's
that's it's complex and it's on a very
high level and uh
you know it's um
and mostly shapiro said that he heard
from desolate that uh classical music
has a certain power to it that uh
you know as opposed to um
certain songs that are just like
you know now sometimes the might
be nice and it's just the orchestration
you know
when you have a you know all the reverb
and the little kids screaming
okay
i get it but
yeah you know they asked us to be the
the next cabral yeah actually you
mentioned this oh good thank you very
much we did a waterberry concert with
abraham bergamot and david in brooklyn a
few years ago so we met with ellie
garcia and she has to do the next club
and we haven't uh we couldn't do it but
now that you say this i i don't know if
we should do it
it it could be listen
sometimes it's so interesting because i
did this routine this routine is at
least 30 years old maybe 40 years old i
remember how long it was but you
remember miami had a song by seattle
na
na na na na na
[Music]
[Applause]
no
[Music]
and it sounded so familiar to me and
then i realized it was another song that
came out around the same time that went
like this
[Applause]
my
[Applause]
you know you don't even realize
sometimes where those songs are coming
from now i you know i heard a story
years ago i don't know if it's true i'm
not pissed off corona don't check these
things out but i heard a story about
this rebel who heard this in the
street and he thought it was really nice
but the next tit she used it
[Music]
and uh you know
so it's a tricky thing with music
actually there's a song by whatever
stuff that it's a cover of an andrew's
song by jordan smith
and it's called only love
and this is like
at the peak of kobit when everyone's
like laughed in their homes like like
serious uncertainty
and everyone's like very just like not
sure what to do right and this song like
just it came out a few years ago but it
went viral again around then and the
words are like only love can save us now
keep the world from from burning down
like just like a super positive message
like
you could find succumbed all these stuff
obviously
every kiss is like where magaya the song
and we say we sing it in the b we sing
it and they put it out it's on the water
gonna set the page and from like i think
that's like a big example of like how we
were saying before right we could take a
message we could take a mess and that
that and it actually ties into another
like cool cool idea of like why do why
are people running to not just music why
is jewish music not providing
what what jews are looking for as much
and if jews are looking for you know
more upbeat music and that's why i love
that shipiro than what he's doing
because maybe now a lot of people aren't
listening to
you know bruno mars bruno mars is great
but one of us bears better right but
that's what they argued about with the
uh with the
they said uh this is you know because it
was a time of all the boys bands you
know that were going around like you
know and um
was it boys on the block and uh he's
talking about nervous come to think
they're great
so they say oh so it's like uh you know
it's like a methadone clinic you know i
mean right listen to this and it sounds
like the same gracious music only it's
jewish you know right
so a big thing i think i think uh into
was and i think a lot of people are
getting more into this now is is
actually he he said he said
means
not just we also we say zeke lee van
veyro why why not key lane we say this
is my hashem
and he encourages people to have like
guys to have their favorite puzzle and
write english words to the puzzle
because you hear a song a lot of times
like i don't know what this plastic
means the tune's like okay what if like
there was like english lyrics and that's
why uvnei by the way it's like there's
expression in the english and then it
connects to the high and
and there's a big indian and like
sticking in you like bring it make it
yours say your words you do that i
always felt that way about someday
it's an old song
someday we will all be
when guys like what could say like i
wrote a song he was like show me show me
because just seeing a guy express his
heart into a song and realness and i
think
um i guess everyone feared like everyone
who's sitting next to me like was trying
to deal with their music is trying to
just bring realness and that's what i
think
yiddish
is that more just nice connection and he
needs to like talk to someone so why did
lipa get to so much trouble
[Music]
i don't think that was the song that got
him in trouble
it was the lion sleeps tonight
that for some reason just pushed
everybody over the edge
i don't know why i'm the first to make
his album
they have a song
[Music]
called
[Music]
nobody got upset but and and there's
been so many versions of people using
these kinds of the sadder is the famous
one
of those others
what do you mean
what is it
that's foreign that's uh
what no that's different because that's
a that's a that's not that's not that's
not that's not and it meets all the
qualifications of a person and that it
is incredibly annoying what's the worst
thing every every purim song has to be
annoying the gunfight began forgotten
become the gum become forgotten because
we can't become the gunfighter can't be
gone because
[Music]
right
and after the six day war there were all
these israelis that came out like you
know you were
right
right one of them was sharm sheikh
[Music]
it was a secular israeli song
and you hear people
belt it out to a dawn alone
i don't
why was that okay so okay maybe we could
just say it feels jewish
you know
i i've i was at places where they did uh
draw your crew at the scarborough fair
by uh some of the garfunkel
droids
[Music]
anyway now i heard and i never checked
this out because like i said not pesach
chrome i don't care i just say whatever
whatever i hear that he said that he got
that tuned from his grandfather who
wrote it to uh
to uh to draw your crowd
interesting
listen there's no question that certain
songs are considered more jewish
or sound jewish
that's kind of
yeah but there are like
certain songs like to me don't sound
jewish in the wool
walking
like this 70s pop sound to it it doesn't
sound jewish at all
it's a neutral sound
a jewish sound different yeah
i asked somebody once uh
how how do you mod do it and they said
it's not the tune it's the it's the
orchestration the message the message
for example there was uh i think it was
i think i'm trying number one
i think so you're telling me
now she's sorry
[Music]
and uh you just yeah i feel like it
kills the uh the effect of what could
have otherwise been a nice name sure you
still want to shout out to your third
cousin yeah
no i do that's your point i don't know
how you what defines
within the music itself right
so that's why that's why like if you if
first of all i want to go back to what
you said before how you had a certain
tune in your in your head like there was
a guy i had a friend of mine who
there's certain times where if you're in
a public atmosphere for us high school
he decided like you want he wanted to
get everyone singing a certain song so
you would go to different parts of the
basement and go to this place
you know it's swirling
why'd i hear the song because like it
just just goes in you hear it going okay
now i was hearing that too that first
thing i would say but if you look
looking going back to levi's carousel i
came and everyone everyone's personally
attaching to what talks to them which
which you see more and more in the days
like
the the the old 90s the 70s the 80s a
lot of songs are about like the theme
about mashiach about like any concept of
of we wanting mashiach or they sing a
lot about er to straw someday was a good
example you brought but that was like a
unique unique thing of its kind if you
look how how
the revolution of how jewish music like
like like
comes comes about there's usually like
in the past like what i guess more when
i was younger it was like one song an
album with like head maybe an english
song now you'll see like now you'll see
like a few an album you'll see you'll
see like
most right abroad came on
but even then it was like people are
very skeptical but but clearly clearly
the the as the generation like moves on
things things are moving on and people
people have
not that there's a lot of is one of the
most beautiful songs that i've ever read
right and it's written afghan english
sure
yeah so as i'm concerned that made shrek
his career
that's what i think right because he was
okay before then that's why he's a
singer he's not an amazing singer right
you know what okay
is he that much better than w bay
wow now we're having a debate over here
it's a political debate i don't know
it's it's muslim
yeah it's monster and he's incredible i
know people give it up for me sure they
have thousands and thousands of people
listening to it i have a duffy only shoe
i give every day i have six people you
know if you want we can it's it's mazel
it's mozzarella this is a puzzle there
are certain people who
uh aren't necessarily better singers
than anybody else but they have mazo and
other people don't have muzzles i don't
know why i'm sure they're like so kurt
who wants this person out there to do
this exactly and somebody else not
that's the answer with moshe shapiro was
never successful at starting issue
every year that he started it never took
off
you know
and uh and it's because the kurdish
borough who wanted him to be available
for kaiser
and so
that's what i think i mean i'm giving my
own interpretation but i've heard it
from other people you know that he gave
he he gave like 40 share him a week to
all kinds of different places all kinds
of different things and if he had yeshua
that would be his his you know roshan
varuva would be in that issue
so uh
you know i i don't i don't know how
these things work but but i don't know
that it's just the question of that i
think it's there's certain songs and
certain people that are just masalia
yeah you know
right you're sitting next to one of them
that's also true
yeah we did that with the last time yeah
it's very popular if you look at songs
like tatiana king or there's more and
more we see more and more of the jewish
history so much more english than has
ever been before and it's that what
people a lot of people are in this
something already especially a lot of
people are looking just for something to
not that it's charles bad not that not
that aristotle is definitely very colors
but people are are connecting to other
things let's say with an english concept
before they're before they're addressing
the shia before they're addressing the
suicide it's of straw and people are
just expressing what's how they won't
connect hashem and like you know we
enjoyed seeing money
everybody's trying to now we see a new
trend there's a new trend going on right
now that like
even a negan and they can used to be
worried strictly hebrew people are
putting out songs of of
was a bit
making like a negan sound but the
english english words and so much more
we see it's it's because people people
want to connect with
people right well back in europe there
were plenty of songs that were written
in yiddish
that that people were able to relate to
i see them are killing it right now
yeah
right music
[Music]
i i can't imagine that song
being in hebrew or you're probably very
into in those days
i'm still into it and i don't even speak
english
there's a whole bunch of these you know
i see this music it's very back in now
like big time they're taking over and
yeah
like a lot of guys like they're calling
it the highness playlist you know why
there's so many of them
so obviously you you create your own
marketing marketing i know but they're
really tough and people don't appreciate
this because
you know
i spoke to uh
spoke to his fellow his father was a
rebel
and i said to him you know you had a
family business why did you become a
rabbit you know you could have taken
over because he said to me do i look
like a rabbit
he he didn't want to go that way but but
he says you look at the
day you think that's what it was
this is he says the rabbit cave he had
nobody
you know the gary river came here so he
had nobody these people showed up with
nothing
the bells are became with nothing and
they built it into these enormous uh
it's such a tremendous accomplishment
it's it's it's mind-boggling what they
were able to accomplish and it built
hasidis into what it is today yeah you
know so yeah they have their own music
they can do anything they want you know
and you have that bigger market
well everybody said i could do this for
hours and uh it
certainly is such fascinating topics
that we have to discuss we'll have to
have you guys back but let's do one last
song and uh then you know uh on the show
we added this segment where we do uh
answer questions from the uh
from the listeners
so uh i'm gonna i'm gonna have to take a
couple questions and uh that's it so uh
welcome to your boise thank you so much
for being here this was uh
such a
celebration shabashira the
you know shira is a lotion of shlamus
right as opposed to uh a zemer
zamer says
says
zimra
is because
zamer can also mean to trim a tree to to
prune zamir he says sugita zimmer is to
remove all the other makhsavas so that
then you finish with azyoshi
shira ishlaemus that's why they didn't
sing shiva when they came out of it's
rhyme only until they saw mitsuram dead
and they knew that the story was over
did they sing a shira so shabashira
before that we have actually a little
gift for mommy
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
all is
thank you
[Music]
thank you
[Applause]
[Laughter]
dreams
[Music]
is
[Music]
it's going on for years
and we've had a loss because of all the
therapy courses
you are a natural songwriter i am so
talented why don't i make any money
anyway
okay
i want you to do this
listen
my birthday today it's also the
anniversary of my heart attack i was
doing my grandson
i had a heart attack they carried me out
and uh
and i said to my wife i said oh my gosh
i'm going to die on my birthday and only
tadhi can die on their birthday
and i've worked my whole life not to be
attacked
and it turns out i was right
but that he said it coach borough
miraculously kept me alive
and uh it's basically to be a prop at my
grandchildren sunfish that's the only
reason i'm still here
anyway yeah go ahead
is
[Music]
[Applause]
the sea
please don't ever take away your love
from
please don't ever take away
[Music]
oh
[Music]
me
[Music]
us we don't ever take away
please don't ever take away
beautiful all right so question and
answer
what is your favorite instrument i would
have to say a cd
oh i was talking about a financial
instrument uh you meant uh
you know it is so hard um because uh
you know obviously a guitar is is a lot
of fun because you can take it with you
anywhere and you can always play it you
know
i i was once at a kum's at somebody i
was playing guitar and i was sitting
with uh
uh dear dear friend shmuel claver who's
one of the most famous drummers you know
in the music business
and uh the guy's playing the guitar
trendy says to me so nice to have an
instrument that i could just take
anywhere and just play that's why i
learned the drums
you know so uh
everybody everyone has a timer to be a
drummer
whenever you see a drummer everyone
comes up and says can i play
and she will said to me once he goes
understand if you're better than me
you're just going to make me look bad if
you're worse than me then who needs you
so like you know
just go away
but there's a time that everyone feels
so that's fun
a piano
has
such a range to it the things that you
can do my my son-in-law uh avi lieberman
plays the keyboard and
it's just such a beautiful beautiful
thing you could do so much
different types of music you make with
that
but personally if i had to sit down now
at this point in my life and learn an
instrument i was trying the one that i
always wanted um is a trumpet
really wow and why i thought of that
before i love trump it's because
the the sound comes in with such a power
to it you know it has it has a power
it's very interesting because i had a
dream last night and i was that i left
[Music]
convention he sings my weddings yeah
he asked for yeshiva man so during the
banquet every now and then they would do
a musical number
so at one point i was fooling around you
know they asked me and i missed my head
on some you know my sunglasses and i was
playing with one of their trumpets you
know they're like no i don't complain
and all of a sudden motion short says
take it away
and everyone's stuck
i had no idea what i was doing but it
sounded pretty good
so i guess maybe that was why i feel
like you know the trumpet was just there
was given to me at that moment all right
um we have another question if steven
sperm spielberg was a completely
orthodox jew not working on chavez doing
only kosher work he wouldn't be able to
create movies like jaws or indiana jones
isn't that denying the world
entertainment and denying him his
creativity
so first of all let's say yes
yeah and guess what
um
if there wasn't drawers in indiana jones
i think the world would be just fine i
don't think that that was something that
entertainment is basically to
get people to escape from reality it's
not like there was no moral message in
jaws right you could try afterwards to
darshan and say well it shows you how
how governments don't really care about
their people they're like that's not the
reason it was because you want to watch
a big mechanical show like eat people
you know i mean that's that was the
basic message over there you know but
there wasn't indiana jones didn't have
any underlying message to it anything
any any kayak you know
so uh so as far as that goes um would
that be denying him his creativity why
he he couldn't he
he couldn't make
films for the firm community that would
have meaning
that that could touch people there's a
desperate need for that
but there's no market there's no market
so so let me so now i'll tell you a
story there should be movies in the
industry i was uh i was living in in la
i was in l.a living in the valley
and i was teaching at school and one of
the kids their father was a hollywood
agent
and uh
and he said to me
kid you got what it takes
he said to me
he says i want to represent you
he says we're going to put together a
stand-up routine this was in the
late 70s that's when all the comics were
coming you know have uh we'll put up a
stand-up routine and i see you having
your own show in a few years
and i thought about carpool karaoke here
it is
yeah
instead of seinfeld it would have been
relaxed
and i thought about it
let's say he's telling the truth you
know i've become very successful
so first of all everybody thinks they're
gonna be successful right and uh
and uh but let's say he's right yeah the
odds are very small and let's say i
could keep
my religious standards
very hard very hard to be from uh
stephen hill when he became from he was
originally starring in the tv show
mission impossible and uh it was tucker
mission impossible to try to be from and
do a show like that you know and that's
why his hollywood career
really didn't take off after that you
know he basically was in lauren order
where he could slump in the chair and go
i can't go to a grand jury with this i
need more evidence
you got to get the widow to talk and
that was all he did you know those are
the kind of roles you know i mean when
you're from you're not they're not
making you an action hero you're not
doing a you know uh
romantic comedy you know
okay but let's say i could somehow make
a show just you know keep keep all of my
videos etc you know um
i don't know how i look in a web but
anyway
but uh
but uh it's it's it's so it's so
difficult to be able to try to do that
but but let's say i could
so and let's say i i i managed to stay
from and i have my own show and i become
very successful you know
and the end of my life i get up to
shemaim and the kurdish borough says to
me so what'd you do
i said what are you kidding you never
saw my show
i was number one you know for six years
yeah everybody watched it was great and
you can see this episode that episode
this one that one you know
and i was like i gave you koichus
to be able to use entertainment to be
able to reach cloud israel and you
decided to spend it on yourself
so what did i give you the koichu school
so you think kurzberg who gave steven
spielberg these tremendous creatures so
he can make jaws
you know or e.t
you know
because
i don't know if his mother's still
around but
i remember when i lived in la
she had this
this little cafe in westwood kosher cafe
and that she had posters of all her sons
you know movies you know and you'd go
there it was the food was very good very
nice place and she would say do you know
my son stephen
the reason why i never met him but you
know he says you know yeah yeah he makes
movies yeah yeah absolutely
now you ask yourself at the end uh when
they both get up to shanime who's the
coach brooklyn going to be more
impressed with
the front lady who who ran the cafe and
uh you know and and spoke to people and
was much beyond them because her son was
steven spielberg or steven spielberg
you know the biggest hoos that steven
spielberg has in his life
is there's an asia torah
dinner where he was speaking at
and he says i should tell you do so much
wonderful work i wish you were around
when i was a kid
he says afterwards he regretted saying
that he didn't know why he said it but
you know they put it in all their videos
now imagine that he was from and he used
all of his kaijus whatever that means i
don't know what that means
you know so um i i always had this joke
to be an entertainment in fact when i
used to teach in certain you know
programs and not and you know secular
people used to come from l.a there were
people who were producers and would act
etc and i would do my stuff and then
afterwards i'd say what do you think
could i make it
and at one point i had a stack
of cards of agents they said call my
agent uh uh
you can you can make it you can make it
so
kenzan kenza and i could have made it
you know
in that world and
you know instead we have the rabbi
alonsky show yeah yeah
would why you so i'd rather have jaws
or robertolovski show let me tell you
i'm back from a trip to america and i
every place i went people were coming up
to me and they tell me they watched the
show and and i told them i don't know
this seems like more people than i'm
able to track the numbers one person
said to me i don't even know this he
said to me well a lot of people call in
to torah anytime
either because they don't have the
internet or they don't want to spend
their minutes you know what i mean and
so they call in i don't do we have any
way of tr tracking those
yeah
all right now we're up to ten thousand
and thirty two but anyway
the numbers keep going so therefore
gives you
everything in this world everything in
this world is neutral you can use it for
for a vote of hashem or you could use it
for yourself
and uh
you know it's it's up to you
how you want to use those koikas to be
able to go in this world so if all the
wonderful movies that were made by
steven spielberg hadn't been made and
instead he used his quest to be able to
reach
jews and bring them closer to torah i
would imagine at the end of his life
that would be a much greater thing when
he gets up to shemin and i'd like to
believe that even though um
you know my tv show didn't take off
instead hopefully the podcast will give
hezek to people and help people along
okay that's it for this week thank you
