Mimkoimchu – Shira Choir ft. Zanvil Weinberger

Mimkoimchu is a song of yearning that harkens back to the nostalgic glory of the Beis Hamikdash. Originally composed by living legend Mona Rosenblaum, it was first recorded by global Jewish superstar Shloime Gertner on his album Mincha.

Featuring star soloist Zanvil Weinberger from Israel and a 10-voice complement by Shira Choir, the graduated vocals showcase some of the best harmonic work of Shira’s own Yoely Horowitz.

The timing is auspicious: As a prayer to Hashem to return to His former glory and bestow His dominance on Yerushalayim, it is uniquely fitting as an acapella rendition by Shira Choir for the Three Weeks. We hope this will inspire you to cast your eyes eastward and join us all in the hope that Moshiach come soon, speedily in our days.

Composed by: Mona Rosenblaum
Sung by: Zanvil Weinberger - The Shira Choir
Live sound: Shy Clyman
Mixed by: Chaim Gottesman

Amazing Drone Footage Captures Fish Run

Every fall, billions of mullet in schools larger than football fields migrate south, lining the coast of Florida. This allows for two things: thousands of predator fish get an easy filling of baitfish, and people experience some epic video opportunities. Using drone technology, we’re able to witness predators ambush the huge, dark clouds of baitfish, sending them into a panicking frenzy.

Gov. Christie Catches Foul Ball, Gets Booed

Fans at the Cardinals-Mets game cheered when a man neatly caught a foul ball at Citi Field - until they realized it was Chris Christie. The New Jersey governor then got loudly booed Tuesday night.

The ovation quickly turned sour after Christie stood up and slapped hands with another fan. It didn't matter that Christie gave the souvenir ball to a nearby kid.

Christie was sitting in the third row, near the New York dugout. In the third inning, St. Louis rookie Paul DeJong lifted a high foul that bounced in the stands, and Christie reached out with his left hand and snagged it.

Even Fox Sports announcer Dan McLaughlin chimed in announcing, "Nice to see him get from the beach to the ballpark." McLaughlin was referring to Christie's family visit to a New Jersey beach that was closed from the New Jersey government shutdown.

See Hummingbirds Fly, Shake, Drink in Amazing Slow Mo

They move so fast that human eyes see only a hovering spot of color, a blur of wings. But when frozen in time by high-speed cameras, hummingbirds yield their secrets.

Hummingbirds live exclusively in the Americas. The smallest can weigh less than two grams. The largest, the giant hummingbird found in Peru and Chile, tips the scales at around 20 grams. You could send something that weight in the U.S. mail with a single first-class stamp. World’s smallest birds is just one of several distinctions that hummingbird species claim. They’re the only birds that can hover in still air for 30 seconds or more. They’re the only birds with a “reverse gear”—that is, they can truly fly backward. And they’re the record holders for the fastest metabolic rate of any vertebrate on the planet.

Goat Break-in Caught on Video

A Colorado company caught a goat on surveillance video shattering its front glass door on Sunday before the animal — and its compatriots — fled the scene.

The goat vandalism, took place at Argonics Inc. a small polyurethane manufacturer located in Louisville, Colorado.

Greg Cappaert with Argonics said the company's general manager came in Monday morning to find one of the building's front glass doors had been shattered. "His instant reaction is, 'We've been robbed,'" Cappaert said. "So he called police right away, and they are taking pictures and everything, and then he goes and checks the video."

But the video did not catch a would-be burglar or even a couple of (human) kids playing a prank. Instead, it showed what Cappaert described as a "gang of goats" loitering around the front of the building.

One of the goats then started ramming the building's glass doors and windows. "For like 20 minutes he sat and banged on the front door," Cappaert said. "He must have seen his reflection in the door and thought it was another goat. He was trying to beat up the whole building." The goat eventually shattered the front door, and instantly took off, along with the rest of its cohorts. "They're still on the loose," he said.

Yeshiva Camp Thriving at Waterbury’s Durham Campus

Yeshiva Camp Programs Thriving at Waterbury Yeshiva’s Durham Campus

After an incredible year that surpassed all expectations, Mesivta Ateres Shmuel of Waterbury’s new Durham campus continues to resonate with the Kol Torah, as several camps and yeshivas are taking advantage of the state of the art facility and its many amenities during the summer months.

Wowed by the Durham campus and its many possibilities, Rabbi Avraham Deutsch booked the facility for the entire summer, bringing in a yeshiva high school program for the first few weeks of the summer and running his own Camp Degel Hatorah in Durham for second half.

From the moment that Rabbi Deutsch’s staff arrived at the yeshiva campus, they knew they had come to a wonderful place.

“The very first night the yeshiva sent each family a platter of food so that they would  have supper ready for their families,” said Rabbi Deutsch.

Hamesivta Kol Aryeh on the Durham Campus


With eight ball fields, rolling acres of grass, a beautiful beis medrash,  a state of the art dining room and comfortable accommodations, the Durham campus combines the best of the camping and yeshiva worlds in a single facility designed specifically for teenage bochurim.

“The setup is really great,” noted Rabbi Deutsch.  “You can see how much the yeshiva is investing in the campus in order to make it beautiful. They pushed hard to get everything ready on time and we are already looking forward to coming back next year.”
