As a Jewish orthodox guy, it is awesome to see someone not from our community and culture enjoying Jewish music. You definitely will get new subscribers and much more views. Your videos and reactions to our music is just so much fun to watch. Keep'em coming. You already reviewed in the past Mordechai Schapiro and Benny Friedman, this video is a colab between the 2 of them, I'm sure you will love it, it's called L'chai Olamim.

[@henrysand3900]

with lipa being the first biggest "pop star" of the chasidish world, he's known more for the fabulous artist and originality which he creates. his voice is another thing. but talented he is. big fan.

[@Meow-ks3dj]

I love the way you react to videos 😂❤ Your so entertaining and omg this song was my childhood

[@eliyahurahimi]

In the fridge scene he was talking about food in general saying something along the lines of "you can't eat a blackberry(phone)". Lipa is a musical genius, his creativity is incredible.

[@menachemspielman145]

And the 'i' in iphone referring to an egg in Yiddish, which is 'eyer'

I don’t think this song specifically had to do with the sabbath - we all just take it for granted that we can’t use electricity and stuff, we don’t need a song abt it. I’m pretty sure it’s just about how texting and social media is negatively impacting our social lives and relationships. Btw we can use fridges on Shabbat just as long as we turn off the automatic light (or else every time we open the fridge we turn the light on).

[@freespeech100]

By the way there's a certain genius in Lipa rhyming the word kugel with google..... pretty much all Jews (or culinary experts) pronounce the 'u' in kugel like the 'oo' sound in BOOK. Which DOESN'T actually rhyme with GOOGLE. Except for Chassidic Yiddish speakers who speak English as a second language...... since their first language doesn't have the ooooo sound, they would pronounce Google to rhyme with Kugel. So the rhyme sounds more ingenious than forced.....

[@piny_winner]

Lipa is a A musical genius, Someone once called him the Lady Gaga of the Hasidic music....

[@PortuguesePai]

I think I may have said that at one point too haha, or at least thought it after that video

[@independentgirl7629]

Yes,this is a different version of the lady gaga song "Stop telephoning me".

[@Meow-ks3dj]

😂😂YESS another video!! YOU ARE THE MANN

[@mittelman]

The Yiddish verses (these are actually Yiddish lines, not Hebrew) are pretty creative. Like the refrigerator scene goes like this: iPhone, iPad, iPod, Ei vus kimt dus tzi mein shteebl? (Meaning how does it belong in my house. Ei is like a multi-purpose Yiddish word used here as in “how”) Ich gedenk nuch ven a ei, hut gemeint an ei mit tzvibl (I remember when an I meant eggs and onion, eggs in Yiddish is also called Ei, and it’s referring to a delicacy traditionally served at the Sabbath day meal). Not sure if I explained it well enough, but these are actually pretty funny lines with lots of word play, way better than the English ones.

[@youtubeaddict1]

I'm here for the "K....right of the bat......" lol

[@izzym1]

Once again you're analysis is flawless. I agree--an interesting request from whoever wanted you to react to this song/singer. Anyway he sounds better when speaking Yiddish (it wasn't hebrew) because that's his primary language. Also kugel is a traditional Jewish food made primarily from potatoes, often eaten on shabbos. He was searching up "hentelach" the name of one of his biggest hits. As for the fridge, no real meaning behind it that i can think of.

[@PortuguesePai]

Haha, thanks Izzy. You're always on point with your info/responses! Would you say his other song "Hentelach" would be worth a listen too?

[@izzym1]

@@PortuguesePai I'd recommend first checking out some other singers u haven't seen yet such as Yaakov shwekey, baruch levine, shmuli Unger, simcha leiner. Not sure if they have a lot of live stuff on youtube but they all have music videos

[@NIF18]

@@PortuguesePai he's making a play on words with "apple" "blackberry" etc (and "eye" which in Yiddish means egg). That's why he's in the fridge saying "I remember when these things didn't grow in Manhattan"...

[@Didisayhi]

[@Didisayhi]

Hasc

[@aboredbochur]

The significance in the fridge is that in that part of the song he does a play on words. The letter I in iphone pronounced aii means egg in Yiddish so he says I remember when an "aii" only meant eggsalad. And then he goes on to say he remembers when blackberries weren't grown in Manhattan but on trees and only people with headaches would use tablets (i.e. Advil) So he opened the fridge to show an egg.

[@betsymendlovits6704]

The phones are in the fridge because that’s where blackberries belong. He says he remembers when blackberries didn’t grow in Manhattan, he’s talking about Blackberry devices which are very popular (or at least were when this song was released) in the Hasidic community.

[@shayazussmann2307]

You got wrong the fridge an egg in the language of Yiddish is called an “eye” so he is singing I remember when the iPhone, iPads, that he remembers when someone said “eye” it meant egg, and not I phone or I pod or I pad. Also he said only who ever has a headache used to take a tablet meant as a pill for painkiller not a tablet of technology

[@shayazussmann2307]

Please do Beri weber riboin

[@sara-19]

This reaction was flawless! Lipa Schmeltzer is one of, if not the first pop stars in the orthodox Jewish hassidic community. This video is about 10 years old, you should check out some of his new stuff, he has some incredible music. He is an extremely talented composer and lyricist. Props to you for getting yourself into our music! I hope you enjoy your journey!

Hi great content!! He’s singing in Yiddish… And the fridge part he’s just saying that all phones are named after things you can eat but they can’t give you life Blackberry, apple, tablets….

[@shirleys4157]

Love your honesty

[@fatfatat444albertkagan]

5:36 - There were some words that may be Hebrew here, but this may have had more Yiddish - a language that uses Old German with elements Hebrew and Aramaic influences as well as influences from the regions these people lived in (Transylvania, Lithuania, etc.).

[@JustForFunST]

I - as in iPhone, iPad... is Yiddish for egg. So he's saying he remembers when "i" used to just mean eggs. That's why the devices are in the fridge 🤣

[@YLvids]

Another great analysis! I think you’ve found your niche 😉

[@chesspuzzle5359]

He was singing in Yiddish not Hebrew

[@mordechaikohn5434]

The fridge and the egg. "Egg" in Yiddish is pronounced "eye" or the letter "I" it's a word play on the theme of the song. He still remembers the old days when "I'' - the indicator for technology e.g. iphone ipad etc. meant something related to eggs as opposed to tech and he refers to a Sabbath morning entree popular as "egg-with-onions" which would sound like "i-Mit zvible" in Yiddish

[@leibiweiss]

Good choice 🙂

[@youtubeaddict1]

The fridge was just showing that phones are everywhere taking over our lives

[@johnjacobs7426]

No it was more than that. He's mentioning the old blackberry phone, berries was a fridge item

Lipa is an incredible talent, more renowned for his brilliant Yiddish lyrics and creativity. This is one of his few songs in English which is his 2nd language so it doesn't sound as good as his other stuff

[@PortuguesePai]

Yeah! But I commend anyone that tries/does something they're not well versed or practiced on. He made the song very relatable to English listeners as well as Jewish people.

[@ygross18]

@@PortuguesePai 💯 it's awesome, just not as fluent in English as he is in Yiddish. His English lyrics are much more amateur sounding. His Yiddish lyrics are brilliant

I totally love that your favorite part of a pop song by a chassidic artist is when they take a Break from the pop music to break into a Nigun (wordless chassidic song) at 7:15. You're so genuine! And it's so funny that I could literally see a super traditional orthodox parent telling their kid that the song is no good except for those 15 seconds that you ❤️

Have you ever made a video? Reaction videos are relatively straightforward but they still take time to edit. And I expect that Mr. PotuguesePai probably works a full time job. Chill out with making demands of the guy. It's nice that someone is appreciating Jewish culture. Don't make a chillul Hashem by making unrealistic demands

Oh and he's singing in Yiddish which is a language the Ashkenazi Jews made while in exile in the European countries to be able to communicate with each other across the board and in so to speak secret. It's mostly a mashup of general German and Hebrew. The Sefardi Jews have a similar language called Ladino which is old Spanish for the most part that they kept after they were kicked out of Spain. It's less widely used because of how old it is and how they scattered to different places in the world also made it harder to keep but because large Spanish communities moved to Turkey so many Turkish Jews speak Ladino. What a long comment that no one will ever read this turned out to be 😂😂

Love the videos. I’m curious on how you feel about your channel becoming one that reacts to Jewish music. Do you feel trapped into it? I’m sure you’re really enjoying it but I wouldn’t mind if you did some of your older videos as well. Like I said - I love the videos and would really enjoy watching more but still curious on your thoughts about it. Surely you’re learning a lot more about the Jewish people in a positive light but at this rate you’re gonna end up Jewish by this time next year 😂. Thanks for the videos

Ya I've been a little torn. I'm having an absolute blast reacting to these videos, and the community has been very supportive and helping a lot. But there are other things I'd love to react to for sure. And I have, when I posted that video on the sea lions. Obviously it didn't do as well as these videos, but if there's something I really wanna react to I will. Might not be for everyone, but that's life 😂

Lipa is a genius lyricist but not the best vocalist. He brought modern pop into Jewish Hasidic music (many traditional rabbis didn’t approve). His English is not the best so he’s not as confident. When he sings in Yiddish, his lyrics and play on words really shine more. He’s mostly knows for his performances, music, and lyrics; similar to any pop star.
