Nachas doesn't have a good English translation, it describes the feeling a parent has when they see their children doing something good, it's a mix of pride elation and satisfaction all in one.

[@freespeech100]

TRUE! My daughter had a college assignment which was to describe words which exist in one language but have no real equivalent in English. The word she chose was NACHAS. Her professor liked her report.

[@MM-xx7tv]

According to Google. Nach-es pride or gratification, especially authentic achievement of one's children. I'd say pretty spot on...

[@BarukhBenMiroslav]

For those who don't now the "ch", making it an "h" is good since it's most likely a Het and not a Khaf.

[@AYKarsh]

I loved your reaction when you first heard Baruch Levine’s voice 😂- yes he has a high register. Like really high. He’s an amazing composer of some great songs that have become staples of Jewish Music. He has a song with the same title, “Vezakeini”, that pretty much any Orthodox person knows and can sing. And yes, Benny really has a great voice and great range!

The tears shattering gates is a reference to our belief that there are gates into heaven. The gates will always open for a prayer that is expressed with tears.

[@lcs8967]

Well said!

[@frumamohrer9863]

You can use grape juice instead of wine for the blessing for kiddush on Shabbat. Lots of people cant drink alcohol but both wine and grape juice are " fruits of the vine."

[@joeldick6871]

The line about tears "shattering" every gate is a reference to the teaching in the Talmud that every gate of prayer may be closed but the gates of tears never close. These are many Jewish songs that make reference to this. Avraham Fried has a song called Sha'arei Dmaot, and of course there is the classic song (sung by Abish Brodt) Machnisei Rachamim that mentioned "Sha'arei Dmaot" (Gates of Tears).

[@joeldick6871]

Fun fact: Baruch Levine is from Toronto. So many well-known people in the Jewish music biz originate from Toronto.

[@JustForFunST]

I'm fascinated every time you watch an English song. To most religious Jewish people, this song is so easily understood. But we forget how much Hebrew is peppered in there

[@nechamaisbored]

omg your reaction when Baruch Levine started singing was hilarious😂😂 he does have a very high pitched tone. I agree but it’s still so beautiful. and you’re right about this being about children. the mother recites this prayer after lighting the friday evening candles for Shabbat and it’s about asking G-d to raise the children to follow His ways and to be smart. And yes, shepping nachas is a yiddish expression!!

[@NIF18]

For context, Bonei Olam who created this video is an incredible organization that helps couples through the journey of fertility treatments.

Wow!!! I feel honored!!! So happy your reviewing the song I have suggested!! Hope you liked it as much as I do

[@menhashuk]

This song was composed for an organization that assists couples that are struggling with fertility.. it's the prayer of a mother at the candle lighting which brings in shabbos... The prayer asks God to give us the merit(vezakeini- may i merit/grant me) you nailed it as far as the woman singing.... there is the female version as well.. you can check it out

[@zahavashaw2083]

not sure the ladies want men listing, as it says in the title for women and girls only

[@PortuguesePai]

@@zahavashaw2083 you know, I've never thought of (for women and girls) as something the women wanted. I always thought that was for men to know that there is stuff they aren't supposed to see, but it makes more sense that it would be for the women in it not to be seen by men. (If that was the case, I think it would be tough for that to be managed however. Cause a lot of non-religious people would probably still watch it.)

[@zahavashaw2083]

@@PortuguesePai I guess its for both. The women do their hishtadlus(their job, part) by telling everyone that there are women dancing, singing etc. in this video. If a religious or nonreligious person wants to watch it, feel the freedom its just one click. But deep inside the religious men know its not right to watch it as they are going against the 613 commandments, but by the women putting for women and girls only, they are trying their best to warn these people. This is a very controversial topic in the orthodox community as some say they shouldn't post at all and some say why not, but this is what I think.

[@rosegold4594]

Vazakeini is part of a prayer a mom says when she lights the candles Friday night and asks for good children that follow her footsteps

Tehillim is a book of psalms that are supplemental prayers that can be said at any time in addition to the typical regimen of daily prayers. When someone is in a specific time of need they usually increase their tehillim recital as a merit to see salvation

Finallyyy you got to vezakeini!! :) Vezakeini - may i merit/grant me, is part of a prayer recited by women by the shabbos candle lighting, hence the scenes of the candles. The prayer is about asking Hashem to grant us children who are G-d fearing and honest.

[@mosytube]

Baruch Levine is a prolific composer of Jewish music. His youthful voice has captured the hearts of Jewish music fans for a generation. I would describe his voice as boyish rather than feminine, simply because they could be interchangeable, and he is a man after all. I see others have explained the song. It’s a moving one, that’s for sure. And those two singers, along with the choirs (two separate ones - one chasidic and one regular orthodox), nailed it.

[@PortuguesePai]

Ya, I guess boyish would have also been a great way to describe it. Prepubescent for sure is what I was trying to get at haha.

[@zahavashaw2083]

his daughter was my counselor

[@joeldick6871]

Oooh, that's interesting. When they have the kids singing the English lyrics, the kids are not Chassidish. But when it goes into the Yiddish lyrics, it's a different boys choir - they're all Chassidish (you can tell by the side-curls). The accent is different too. The "Litvish" (non-Chassidish) pronunciation is "Vezakayni" while the Chassidish pronunciation is "Vezakuyni".

[@Johnfreewill..]

Well explained sir

[@marcsocalif3364]

This song is related to Bonei Olam - which is an organization that provides medical assistance to couples with infertility problems. Nachas is the feeling of pleasure (e.g. when one is proud of their child, etc.).

You should listen to hold on tight same kind of song and organization with Benny Friedmen it’s beautiful

[@ygross18]

Yes, this is a song coming from a woman's perspective. But since it was being used as a promo to help fundraise for the Bonei Olam organization (which helps couples with infertility) they wanted it to be able to be seen by men and women alike so it needed to be sung by men. Makes it slightly awkward for men to sing "will I ever be a mother?" but this song was a big hit and was a big boost for the organization so it definitely worked out

[@NIF18]

It's definitely a song that ought to be sung by a mother/woman, and many activists took issue with that when the video first came out. The problem there is that that would severely limit the audience, and the idea here was to raise awareness for the organization to raise money for fertility treatments.

[@chaimweiner8620]

Boina oilam is an organization that helps Jewish childless families with fertility problems, guide along the process, and help financially the costly procedures. The organization was founded by a man with no kids (years ago there was less medical advancement in this area) who made it his life mission to help those with this problem to do what he couldn't. This song was composed in honor of this organization. The Jewish mother is considered in Judaism the rock upon which the home is built, and the direction the kids take in life morally lies in her hands more than that of the father's. She will go to great lengths to keep her kids protected and onto the right path, and it's their credit that the Jewish people survived till today. On Friday night when the sabbath comes in - is a very holy moment, and the mother lights the candles and then closes her eyes and covers them with her hands and prays silently to G-d that she may raise her kids on the right path and reach a point where she sees "nachas" from them (nachas is the sense of satisfaction when a kid grows up and turns out to be what you hoped for all the years you invested in them). I still remember as a little boy when my mother took off her hands after the prayer, and saw her eyes soaked in tears, and I asked her if she got hurt or something, and she smiled and said: no! I prayed to make sure you and your sister don't get hurt! This is the theme of the song, a prayer said by the mother at candle lighting on the eve of sabbath. All the pics of kids are the ones the organization helped bring into the world and the mothers that will get a chance to cry at the candles at sabbath eve so their kids succeed.

[@PortuguesePai]

Chaim, I've read the 3 comments you posted and just from reading them I can tell you've made your mother very proud. You're a very well spoken individual, and your explanations/views on things come out very clearly. I appreciate you taking the time to write all that, and wish you all the best in the new year! ☺️

[@annonimiss6422]

I love how you kind of melted from seeing the pictures.

[@mendyhershkop5339]

Every picture on the line was born with the help of bonei olam

[@tobyfogel6980]

I’ve been going through the comments for a while and still have not seen anyone explain this, The organization that the song is written for (bonei oilem : translates to children and world: Meaning bringing children to this world) the organization helps couples that want children and can’t have children, they help pay for medical support and pretty a lot of other things that may help them have kids. Funds are usually donated by people of the Jewish community. The man( the lonely guy in the apartment) apparently can not have children and it is showing the sadness and despair that it is causing him. The beginning starts off with crying and burning food as you’ve said, it shows that children can sometimes be hard to manage but in reality what it is like to not have children. It’s sort of comparing the ones with children and the ones that are childless to show what it’s like to go through the hardship of not being to have a child. Having children in the Jewish community is looked upon with high respect, as well as it being an obligation for men. Jewish people sponsor medical bills for those couples that are medically impaired to have kids. Now I don’t know if what I’ve said makes 100% sense, I’m still pretty young, but I think this is something that should be explained. Please if someone thinks they can do a better job, please explain this cuz I’m having a bit of trouble.

[@avigdorf]

as you might remember from the Shabbos video she lights as many candles as people in the family. So the 3rd candle represents a child.

[@JudithYD]

It's about the prayers of parents who are having trouble conceiving a child. They are praying for children to bring up in the ways of Yiddishkeit.

[@mfs452]

Nachas is basically a joy of an achievement/ fulfillment example if you send your child to a music school and he play in a very popular band the joy that a parent feels is Nachas

[@yitzchokschwartz4298]

I’m not sure if anyone mentioned it already. This song was composed by a female. Love your content. Keep it up ❤

[@gittil9413]

Shabbos and Jewish holidays are very family-centric times. So many couples experiencing infertility may feel like they are living a half-life or waiting to start their life. V'zakeini means may I be worthy/merit, so they are praying to Hashem that He finds them worthy of having and raising healthy children who will follow the path they believe is right. There is a commandment of Kol Isha, which literally means a woman's voice that prohibits men from hearing a woman sing. There are many leniencies and is not something that is universally kept. That's why the men are singing from a mother's pov. There is a beautiful version sung by women as well. Check that one out.

[@shoshimonster5451]

When a couple has children, they light another shabbos candle for example, my mom had six kids, so she lights eight shabbos candles, two for her and my father and one for each child. the extra candle at the end is because they had a child.

[@shialeibowitz7449]

[@user-iq6pt8jh4n]

It's about a mother's prayer while she lights the Shabbat candles and asks for kids

[@avigdorf]

It is a prayer to G-d that a mother says when she lights the candles on Friday evening that her children should grow up properly.

[@RelLub]

Vzakeini means loosely gift me or make me deserving. So it’s asking Hashem to give the gift of children. As you’ve learned, Jewish life has a heavy focus on family life and having children, so for those struggling with infertility it is especially difficult. Bonei olam is an organization that helps couples navigate the technicalities and finances involved. Nachas means like satisfaction and joy kind of-to shep nachas from kids is a blessing we give people and hope for ourselves as well, which basically is seeing the fruits of our labor. The time right after candle lighting is especially auspicious for prayer, and there is a concept within Judaism that God won’t turn away prayers offered with tears. Many say a prayer upon lighting candles that includes the word vzakeini as we ask for children who will follow in the ways of Torah. The man in the apartment was sad due to not having children and as you noticed, they added a third candle at the end for a child.

You got it right. You CAN use grape juice instrad of eine on a blessing of wine becasue both come from grapes, same blessing on both

[@izzym1]

1) I happen to enjoy Baruch Levine's voice (he's also a great composer) but we've all suggested what you have at one point or another... 😄 2) When a Jewish woman lights candles at the beginning of Shabbos she says a beautiful prayer that she should merit to raise children who are righteous and G-d fearing, who learn Torah and cling to G-d and His Commandments. V'zakeini means "may I merit". 3) To have nachas kind of means to be made proud. 4) Tehillim - Psalms 5) This song is being sung for an organization that assists with fertility issues. The problem affects both husband and wife, but it's known that women have a tendency to be more spiritual and closer to G-d, and a mother's prayers for her children can't be matched. Obviously for a public music video only men will sing, even though the song is from the perspective of the woman.

I don’t know if you took this from my recommendation (if so, thanks) but my actual choice was Hold on Tight by the same singers. It’s more authentic and deeper in explaining the pain of the couple as well as all who stand with them during those difficult times.

I also suggested Hold on Tight a few videos back! It's definitely more understandable and heartwrenching.

[@YLvids]

Nachas means… it’s hard to think of an exact English translation. I think it literally means contentment, or peace. But, in general usage, it basically means pride, but the good type of pride you have in someone else, usually a parent to a child. Like, if someone says “my son gives me so much nachas,” they mean “I’m so proud of my son.” Grape juice is a perfectly acceptable substitute for wine. I actually usually use grape juice.

[@YLvids]

Also, you said you didn’t know what “those” were, in reference to nachas; but nachas is actually not a plural word. It’s a singular noun, which, as mentioned above, loosely translates as “pride.” In Hebrew, a plural word has an “im” or “os”/“ot” (some Jews pronounce it with an “s” some with a “t,” depending on their background) at the end to signify that it’s plural. A regular “s” wouldn’t indicate that a word is plural, it’s just a word ending in the “s” sound. I hope that made sense.

[@boltingvulture9970]

The scenes are showing the contrast between a family with children and one without. All infertility is difficult, and it is especially difficult in the Jewish community with a lifestyle that is centered around family. We went through 5+ years of infertility before Hashem gave us our bundle of joy, and before that it got increasingly more difficult to attend family functions/yom tov events due to all the attention on the children. Organizations like Bonei Olam & A TIME, just to name a few, are incredible. They don't just help with finding doctors & funding treatments. They also send fresh meals & care packages to the house or hospital room after treatments, set up accommodations if a treatment needs to be done over shabbos and have events throughout the year- shabbatons, melava malkas etc.- to bring light into couples lives who are going through darkness.

[@gingi5799]

You are so on the nail😂 you pick up on the heart of every issue! I always hated the line where they go, “will I ever be a mother?” And I’m like No, you won’t guys, for a good reason 😂. The reason the organization had men singing this very female centric song is bc they wanted it to have a wider reach and if women sang it then only women could hear it. But I know a lot of people had issues with that. The lyrics bugged me on principle, but I understand why they chose to have men sing it. Two big orthodox female singers did end up “covering” it tho, which I guess was more aligned but they also both have children so it felt just as off to me when they sang those lyrics as well.

This is indeed a song a mother would sing. The words "Ve'zakeini" is taken from the prayer that Jewish women recite when they are lighting the Shabbat candles. But they have men singing it because it would be forbidden for men to listen to women singing under the laws of modesty.

I don’t think anyone explained this yet… Schepping nachas is a common Jewish phrase which refers to drawing/experiencing Nachas - which everyone already explained as pride/elation/satisfaction from children (what we all dream of) Schlepping nachas is a parody of the original term… instead of schepping, they chose schlepping which is the Yiddish word for pulling or dragging along

[@ronenneustadter1090]

So people spoke Yiddish mostly in eastern and central Europe up until the middle of the 20th century. Now days it is spoken mostly in charedi home's.

Nachas is a feeling when ur children do something good and as a parent you feel proud and satisfaction of them. V’zkakeini means privilege/opportunity, Jews pray to ask our God for the privilege for raising Jewish kids, to continue the Jewish generation as it lasting for many years
