R' Levi Yitzchak - Sruly Green | TYH Nation

A long standing and often misunderstood tradition is the minhag to repeat the names of tzaddikim in times of need.

Is this a magic trick or some kind of good luck charm?

Of course not!

By saying the name of the Tzaddik we attach ourselves to their Zchus, to their place next to Hashem in Shamayim, and to the lessons and values that they imparted on us through their lives and teachings.

This is especially true about R Levi Yitzchak Ben Sara Sasha.

A pure and righteous leader who is known as the Defender of Klal Yisroel. He went to battle every day of his life to defend each and every Jew from prosecution in the heavenly court.

His Sefer, The Kedushas Levi is overflowing with a deep love for every Yid.

Connecting to this Tzaddik means connecting to the essence of his way of life; to always find the positive points within ourselves and everyone around us.

Ahhh to connect to the Tzaddik, R Levi Yitzchak Ben Sara Sasha!!

This song is the first song iyh from the upcoming TYH Nation and Sruly Green album. The full album drops soon!

3 Great Guitarists Cover "Chalom Kmo Yosef"

Three of Jewish music's greatest guitarists, Ari Boiangiu, Aryeh Kunstlers and Ari Ettinger, cover a song by Israeli artist Hanan-Ben-Ari, "Chalom Kmo Yosef".

From Ari Ettinger: "This video was recorded as part of the Amudim "Unite To Heal" Fundraiser. Amudim is an incredible organization and I am grateful for the opportunity to participate. This arrangement was a ton of fun to write and the contrast between the electric guitar cover and the fingerstyle cover really worked well! Working with Ari and Aryeh was a great experience. I'm looking forward to more collaborations!"

Nazi’s Massacred Children Next to Our Winter Retreat.

Rabbi Chaim Danzinger, rabbi of Rostov: "We made a shocking discovery! The Nazi’s massacred Jewish children right next to our winter retreat, exactly 80 years ago to the day (B"Misparam)! We prayed and recited Kaddish, perhaps for the very first time in their memory."

Archaeologists Find Coins from Maccabean Period

A wooden box containing 15 silver coins, buried in a cave near Israel's Dead Sea some 2,200 years ago, was discovered during excavations in the Judean Desert last May.

This is the earliest archaeological evidence that caves in the Judean Desert were used by the Maccabees.

Yud-Tes Kislev - Special Presentation

On the 19th of Kislev in 1798, the founder of Chabad Chassidism, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, was freed from prison in czarist Russia. More than a personal liberation, it was a historic event that began a new era in the revelation Chassidic teachings.

Ever since, the 19th and 20th days of Kislev have been celebrated as “Rosh Hashanah of Chassidism.” Each year on this day, the Lubavitcher Rebbe would hold a Farbrengen to celebrate this event and highlight its relevance to us today.

This presentation is a compilation of videos related to this day, including documentary footage from a film on the Alter Rebbe’s liberation and highlights of Farbrengens with the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

Mitzvah Saves Your Life - R' Shea Rubenstein

We often focus on how doing a Mitzvah benefits receiver, but did it ever occur to you that doing a mitzvah can actually help you more than them?

This is illustrated in the story of a girl named Esty who met a woman who was in dire need of a kidney. Compelled by her sad state of affair, Esty decided to get tested the very next day to see if she could be a donor match. After the exam, it was discovered that Esty had a stage 1 illness. If she had not gone for pretesting, the illness would have revealed itself when it was too late to be treated.

Sometimes a mitzvsh helps you more than anybody else.

"Yosef" Beri Weber | Official Video

ספר בראשית is a spellbinding collection of Parshas that tells the amazing tales of our ancestors and the valuable lessons we learn from their actions and sacrifices.

The final chapters of this Sefer entail the lengthiest and arguably the most interesting story in that of Yosef Hatzadik and the rest of the Tribes.

It is a story that is over 4000 years old but reads like a current suspense novel with betrayal, deceit, and the ultimate reveal that kids wait all year to hear played out by their Rebbes and teachers.

A child, orphaned from his loving mother, favored by his father thereby resulting in terrible jealousy from the rest of his siblings, bullied for being a dreamer, and ultimately exiled, sold, enslaved, and imprisoned.

But out of all that comes the real story; how instead of giving up and giving in, he rose to and overcame those horrific challenges and ultimately attained the titles of both יוסף המלך and יוסף הצדיק

Thousands of years and similar stories later yet still haven’t learned from our forefathers
We fall and falter at any perceived threat or confrontation and hold lifelong grudges that hurt generations, Why?

Well, my latest album Korban takes on these important topics and conquers it in the final masterpiece titled עוד יוסף חי Yosef is alive.

I  could write a book with the number of stories and messages and lives impacted by a single song…parents and children reconciling, Rebbes relating to their Talmidim, people reconnecting to Hashem and the Torah, kids getting back on track after relating to the strong message in this song and the calls keep coming.

If ever there was a song that needed a proper music video, this was it.  It required a message and lesson that would connect and trigger a generation that is continually evolving with an issue as old as Yosef himself; the topic of bullying and being bullied and the strength needed to overcome it.

Such a monumental task required the right group of people to bring it to fruition and boy did we get it

With the involvement and creativity of Pinchas Bichler of the legendary Malchus Choir, and his phenomenal script writing the vision of cinematographer Michael Tzi the amazing production of Hershy Segal and the beauty that is the land of Eretz Yisroel, the result will leave you breathless.

LIVE: Unite To Heal by Amudim - 36 Hour Live Event

Addressing Crisis in Jewish Communities Worldwide, Amudim Unites to Heal in Annual Fundraiser

Amudim’s Unite To Heal campaign, a 36 hour fundraiser whose previous livestreams have drawn millions of worldwide followers, is returning for a third time on December 11th and 12th. More than just a program that entertains and inspires with segments on mental health, community, religion, comedy and Jewish music, Unite To Heal raises the lion’s share of Amudim’s annual budget, which this year totals $9 million, serving those struggling with critical issues in Jewish communities near and far.

This year’s livestream benefit will feature multiple unique thought-provoking segments. Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm and Pastor Michael Fisher will discuss building bridges between the Jewish and African-American communities in a segment titled Black Americans and Jewish Americans – How Do We Heal?, while Rachie Shnay will moderate a discussion with Joyce Azria and Charlene Aminoff on how frum female entrepreneurs strike a balance between business and family titled Three Blondes Walk Into a Business. Well known personalities Rabbi Shais Taub, Rabbi Simon Jacobson and Rabbi Manis Friedman will address important issues in a feature moderated by Eda Schottenstein and Rivkah Krinsky called Unlocking Healthy and Happy Relationships: From the Inside Out, while Rabbi Shay Schachter will moderate a conversation on difficult questions between Rabbi Larry Rothwachs, Rabbi Daniel Feldman and Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz titled They Asked What!?! Mental Health and it’s Real Life Implications on Psak Halacha. Drawing support for mental health issues and crisis from both inside and outside the Jewish community, Unite to Heal will also feature many others, including Rabbi Hershel Schachter, Rabbi Efrem Goldberg, Jonathan Pollard, Ishay Ribo, Hillel Fuld, actor and comedian Tom Arnold and former NBA star Eddy Curry.

More than just 36 hours of high quality programming, Unite To Heal is the oxygen that helps Amudim continue its operations, which in turn provides lifesaving help to thousands each year. Amudim saw its call volume increase by 64 percent after the 2021 Unite To Heal livestream, further illustrating the need for public support in order to help those in crisis.

For Amudim CEO and co-founder Rabbi Zvi Gluck, donations to Unite To Heal are an investment in people, communities and futures, one that comes with a considerable price tag.

“From day one, we did not want anyone to be afraid to call us for help because they couldn’t afford it,” said Gluck. “Our money comes from the public - it is the people who support us.”

Gluck emphasized that while Amudim does receive grants, those funds are just a drop in the bucket given the organization’s multimillion dollar budget, with all monies raised during Unite To Heal going directly to servicing clients.

“We need partners in the community to help us to raise that money,” said Gluck, adding, “Know that by supporting Amudim, you are saving lives.”
