Chasidic singing star Avraham Fried sings his classic ‘Tanya’ while visiting the Sha’ar family tonight, Motzei Shabbos, to comfort them on the loss of their 16-year-old son, Gilad, OBM, who was murdered by Palestinian terrorists along with two of his friends.

    Very moving. These people have Mesiras Nefesh every day for our holy land. I am so happy that Avraham Fried was able to go there and do this for them

  • moving beyond words

    Seriously, there is no one like Avrahom Fried; the way he holds the fathers hand, while hes singing, the way he sings with his whole heart etc, is incomparable, and when the crowd sing with him gently, its the most moving scene to witness, accompanied by the background sounds of tears and crying . . .
    May Hashem reward these special unbelievable people now, and bring us Moshiach, so that their children too can sing with our Avrohom Fried in joy and happiness;

      If this was a question, it must include all the factors, such as whether or not aveilim asked him to sing, whether it is a sad music, and etc.

  • ch'er

    passing the general idea of what Avremal did, which I solute him 100%

    I cant imagine the emotions there pouring our,

    amazed how Avremal had the strength to sing without bursting in tears.. perhaps he did, but not on the clip….

    In shomayim they are looking down at your powerful deed,

    chazak.

  • TO NUMBER 3 &5

    YOU TWO SOUND LIKE THE FRUM PEOPLE I’D LIKE TO STAY FAR AWAY FROM! you are enough to turn people away from yiddishkiet!!!!!!!!

    try a dose of ahavas yisroel, for a change. your supposed frumkiet is not worth a penny without it.

    In answer to yzee at number 8 as to what the words of the song tanya mean. The kohen godol went into the Holy of Holies and saw a vision of Hashem who asked him to bless Him. So the kohen godol said May it be that You will conquer your anger and deal with Your people with kindness.
    May it indeed be so.
    Unbelievably after singing this song mrs shaar then begged avram fried not to leave before singing Tov lehodos laHashem–It is good to praise Hashem.What incredible people.
