And thank Ribono shel Olam for creating us with BRAINS which we should use for good purposes (the internet being one of them, heheh).<br /><br /><b>Yonatan:</b> What you say is very interesting (and sad). I just <i>loved</i> Mattisyahu when he started out. He believed firmly in Judaism (he was <i>mekurav</i> through Chabad), and I think the vast majority of his audience respected him for not wavering from his Orthodoxy.<br />Now, it seems as if he is slowly slipping away from frumkeit, towards 'the mob,' if you know what I mean. <br />It's almost as if he is poking fun of, or worse--ashamed--of his Jewishness. As if he wants to be like...everyone else.<br />What happened to the pride? I'm wondering whether life in "show biz" has gotten to him...?Lady-Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992305067771885711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229062.post-79623158160889390882010-12-12T13:45:08.957-07:002010-12-12T13:45:08.957-07:00Thank you for the post.

I respected and liked his work up to that point, but I couldn't even complete watching this video. It made my stomach turn. Like you, I didn't know where he was trying to come from with this, but I know how I felt.Yonatanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14684725415521724679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229062.post-53510323689469404452010-12-12T11:45:39.092-07:002010-12-12T11:45:39.092-07:00I love the post.
