Jewish Music Video: Gospel Version Shwekey

I'm not sure why I haven't seen this video yet but I cam across it today and it's very interesting. As you will see below here are some singers performing a gospel/R&B version of Racheim.The question of course is who are these guys? Are they non- Jews who got paid to sing the songs phonetically?(This has been done on Jewish recordings before-backup singers who aren't Jewish singing phonetically). Or perhaps Ethiopian Jews? Based on the way they sing Shwekey's Racheim ,one must conclude they have no idea what they are singing: as they sing a sad or melancholy song with a happy upbeat vibe-strange.

Solving the Problem of Late Marriages...

Rabbi Yehoshua Shapira, head of the Ramat Gan hesder yeshiva would like to offer a solution to the plagued shidduch problem: Pay the shadchan more money. If people (parents) would pay the proper amount of money to the match makers, perhaps they would invest more time in it.

Getting Ready for the Wedding

Well my sister is getting married and it's time to get ready for the big day. This of course means my wife has to find a bronze dress ( aren't sisters annoying with their color choices), me a suit and my little one a baby outfit. We had already found my daughter a dress at a gemach. My wife had no luck but fortunately found a gorgeous dress at David's Bridal which she'll have altered to be a bit more conservative. That left me and the little one. We found the deal of the century at a store we never frequent: Daffy's in Manhasett. I found a suit made in Italy with a super 150 thread count for $140! That's unreal! I bought two of the same ones in different colors with a tie for each(one had to be bronze of course). The suits felt like silk not wool. they had quite a nice selections of nice clothes so if you are ever on the Island check out this fantastic secret.
