  • What A Shame

    What a shame. I hate when people take our Holy Torah and water it down by making it goyish.

  • ch mom

    He seems so real, so true, so different. I like him. I may even get sum of his music…
    Thanx 4 posting.

    Matis Rocks Hands Down.!!!Breaking,changing and influencing, the music seen. Infusing it with Jewish thoughts and ideas=
    Kidush Hashem!! Continue to do what Jew do!

  • la mom

    Real.. no he seems stoned… sorry but he really does… I like a lot of his music, but since he performed at very large european musicals, with mixed and mostly non jewish audeinces i don’t get how he is doing this for “other jewish kids”.

  • Yanky & Gitel Chaya Fogel

    He makes it cool to be jewish and is micareve yiden who no one else would reach. He is ok in my book, but I would rather not see my kids go to his conserts, unless they do mivtsoyim.

    Wow. Surprised this video is so inspiring, and perhaps through watching it, it may get more people to become more appealed to judaism and chabad. I finally understand Matisyahu’s childhood background!

    Dear Matisyahu Shyichye;
    As a Bocher listening to your
    music since you started (And
    even when it was just for us in
    Crown Heights)
    I have to say i look up to you.
    Ive always loved your music
    and was always so proud
    when i heard someone who
    was not yet Frum saying that
    they heard your music and
    liked it.
    PLEASE,
    Keep the style you started
    with, i.e. Pure, Chassidisher
    music with a twist.
    PLEASE,
    Mention more concepts of
    Chassidus in your songs.
    As someone who sees you
    around Crown Heights very
    often, i have to say, its
    always nice to see you with a
    smile and a certain Eidelkeit.
    May Hashem Bless you, your
    family and fans and all of us
    with a Gmar Chasimah Tovah!
    Moshiach Now,
    Mendel

  • High

    obviously, those that comment he seems high, has never seen anyone high. He is amazingly humble and positive! I wish him even greater success in the future!

  • imp. livush!

    agreed with number 10!!!!!!!! motisyahu looked so much cooler when he we’re his chassidishe levush. hts when he looked like a typical lubavicher and was proud to say i was! but now i am not sure if ied like to connect to his music cuz he doesn’t seem chassidish. btw, i think his bresliov now….or his still searching for identity? but let me make my point clear”: matisyahu looked cooler when he were the typical white shirt and black pants. im sure the goyim respected more. because when they see him weariong jean yet tzitzis thay get confused……

  • soli

    I like his music and i like him and his family ,he has a beautiful and kind heart , hi is given and no he is not hi.keep doing what your doing.

  • meir

    the man is deep and honest. he’s on a journey frought with many dangers. he has a message for all men. to his inner being he’s a jew. so this great message comes from the jewish soul to the world, and wasn’t that what the rebbe was about.

  • A Baals Teshuva

    Never judge a person…..none of us know what he is going through, he is a person of tremendous talent and Hashem has given him a unique path and with it comes struggles and tests. He is frum in his way, not the conventional way, not my way or maybe yours, but why does everyone have to be the same? He does mitzvos, davens, learns Torah, believes in Hashem and is not trying to tell anyone to be like him, just doing his thing in his own way.

  • mat roks

    it doesnt mean bec he is not lubavitch any longer that means he is not chassidish and by saying he is frum in his way ?? ! what does that mean he is probably more pure and spiritual then all u guys writing bout him
