Hava Nagila being sung in Texas by mainstream Christian Texans, I never thought I'd see the day. Things have changed. The Christians have finally realized that the first two thirds of the bible is the Torah, they had been in denial for a loooooooong time.  :)

Back in 1989, I went down to Missisippi, yes Missisippi of all places, to tour a university that offered aviation science as a major, Delta State University yeehaa! (I wanted to become an airline pilot at the time and the only colleges that offered flight training and a degree were in the south, go figure, never did become a airline pilot by the way. ;D I do have a license to fly though which I got later when I lived in Florida ) Anyway, long story short, after I got there I noticed things seemed to be 30 years in the past (this was 1989 so the place was in the 1950's!) no joke, like the scene out of Back to the Future when Marty first gets out of the Delorean, for a city boy from NYC, it was really eerie. Here's the fun part, I quickly learned that I was the first Jew anybody on the campus had ever seen, literally, they had never met a Jewish person in their life. They were nice enough about it I guess, but when I mentioned well, yes, and you know, Jesus was Jewish, I got very strange looks. Now people in the south are singing Hava Nagila? LOL, makes your head spin.  ;D

Judaism and Christianity are religions of life, rightousness, happiness, so naturally our songs reflect that.  8)
The REAL religions of peace.

Skip to 4.22 for a great Hava Nagila.

Gotta love the Christmas/Holiday lights at the bar-mizvah...tacky.

The Torah is only one third of The Bible, followed by Nevi'im and Ketuvim.




Nitpicking know it all!  ;)

I don't know what the Nevi'im and Ketuvim are, I thought it was just the Torah for us Jews, and the Torah plus the New Testament for the Christians.
What are the Nevi'im and Ketuvim?

It's ok for any non-Jew to sing Hebrew songs. But I prefer to listen those songs played and sung by Jews. Had the Jews of the Middle Ages accepted the Christian belief that the Torah is abolished by Jesus , we would have no Jews today.

You know something? When I think something is antiSemitic, I can't help but get angry. As for this video, I personally can't stop listening to it, it's creative, entertaining and most of all heartfelt. The song is about celebration, why not make it happy or happier? The only thing that bothers me is that the people who should give 2 dreks about Israel (in this case I mean Jewish Americans) don't! Evangelicals (non-Jews) care more about Israel (a Jewish State) more than Jews! As much as I appreciate Evangelical support, where is the Jewish support? And please don't give me this "oh, poor Arab Terrorists :'(" drek!!!!!!!!!!!! It truly is disgusting!
