#31 excuse me i think you are one of those people who either went off the derech or are not frum. Niggunim are the best things to listen to, not those so-called “cool” rock-and-roll singers.

ppl who are against 8th day keep your nasty comments to yourself and if you chassidish then dont hear them sing and if your not then watch them
to number 3 what do you expect us to listen to niggunim allday now days we listen to rock and roll and cool singers not not in the 1650 maybe you are but not us

These guys are beautiful I know they are on the side of kedusha. I always felt the other guy who took his beard off was chutz lamachane. As long as you guys are leshem shamayim, you’ll be ok. Daven to stay HOLY !! and keep our kids holy… B”H

Theyre the best!!

I hope the negative posters get a life . These guys are a kidush lubavitch thy are very popular and their songs have a great message . Sure beats the Ma——- disaster which thank GD he disavowed his chabad conection and embraced a chagas image before going off the deep end.

October 11, 2012 6:25 pm

and kiddush lubavitch! the Rebbe always pushed using your talents for good things!! go 8th day!!!!

accident??
October 11, 2012 6:09 pm

Why do we have to constantly refer to the unexpected as an “accident”? Didn’t anyone read rabbi dovvis book on divine intervention where he clearly states that there is no such thing as an accident only hashgacha protis? Great vid though my grandchildren love it.

lets not kid ourselves
October 11, 2012 6:07 pm

These guys are talented and put in a lot of sweat and hard work into their success.

You are the one who should not be accepted into society, you are such a hater. Next time think before you post.

You yourself are the one that needs to get a life. These people need to be stopped.

i love it! bounce, jump, don’t stay on the ground, a tefach hecher!
PS there are no accidents, probably they meant Hashgacha protis. a lot of music videos get made, but this one hit the jackpot.

modern music!! Oy vey
October 11, 2012 3:51 pm

I cant believe we are openly accepting these individuals into our society. Not only do they preform to mixed crowds but they only got there by accident. They should be ashamed of themselves.

We were there
October 11, 2012 2:50 pm

It was awesome

im so proud to be a lubavitcher
October 11, 2012 2:26 pm
