  • who is kojak?

    he says “it’s matis and kojak” in the beginning of the video. nice clue

  • Not surprised

    Actually I was expecting something like this to happen. Whether we like it or not, the issue with music is that its very spiritual, so if your music is holy (i.e. from holy sources) it elevates you and it makes you and keeps you holy, however if its not holy and its sources are mundane or far worse, they come from negative cultures which are intertwined with negative energy, it brings you down and influences you negatively.

    The only exception is when a Tzadik takes a tune and transforms it to holiness, small mortals like us don’t have this power.

    If you can’t, you don’t, if you do, walk at your own risk.

    is that matisyahu without a yarmulkah? I dont belive it. It must be photoshopped

    come on ch.info use some brains and stop the matis pointing. we understand he is not frum/chassidish or whatever but its unnecessary to put him on any pedestal. what are you trying to gain by mentioning him here, it has nothing to do with what this blog is about Chabad/Crown heights etc. he left Chabad,

  • Menachem Mendel

    This is a very important post. The purpose of this post is to emphasize whom Chabad considered a role model and who was mashpia on our children for years.

    Its time to stop being modern orthodox and get back to our roots – i.e. yiddishkayt. Not reggae, not sushi, not Oprah TV shows, not even trader Joe chocolate chips, but plain old Chumash with Rashi. Time to go back to the basics.

  • It-s just another yid

    I think it’s Elisha Ben Avuya (AKA Acher).

    Because at least for us this is not Matis…at all.

    It might be Matthew Miller, we never knew him. Mattisyahu we knew, and he was a special boy on a trip and even though he was told not to stray to the sides, he blamed us publicly and then left, and then fell down…

    But I still home we will see Matis again, I can’t wait!

    Common ppl, where is your lcaf zcus. His hair is gray – but here is gingy, meaning he is wearing a sheitel, therefore no need for yarmulke.

  • who cares!

    i rly hope he’s not, but it could be that he’s phisically sick, refuah shelema.
    however we are not in his shoes so we are not to judge him. the only reason this website keeps on mentioning him, is beacause they get lots of readers to read it, and lots of coments, boosting their website, but they have nothing to gain from it, just causing more lashon harah to be said.

  • teshuva

    he stood with us at har sinai and he is one of us. may he be mekabel hatorah b’simcha u’b’pnimi.

  • Qv

    i love loshon hara but it doesnt make it right, and if you are trying to make a point, pointing fingers is not the way.

  • gotta love matisyahu!!

    definetly matis, he always leans with his head towards his right side!!! great song hahaha

  • Foull of them s

    It’s maybe matis disguise as zucenberg
    If yes he did a good job

    Bit I would say his a little to short to be matis and to tall to be mark z
