Y-Studs - Evolution of Shabbat [Official Video]

[@Nooticus]

THEY’RE BACK!!!! I’ve been watching your evolution of Jewish Music video for years and years now and this was NOT a disappointment! If anything the harmonies have gotten even richer, absolutely stunning arrangement. You guys are hands down the best Jewish a capella group out there! 👏👏

[@enzi7717]

absolutly GREAT!!!!

[@AriGoldwag]

Nice job guys! thanks for the 'shoutout' @ 1:37 :)

[@YStudsACappella]

Thanks!! Can’t make it through a Shabbat without the great Ari Goldwag tune!

[@yougotthatjamesdeandaydrea3410]

Seriously, shivers every time each time I hear this. Each person featured singing is amazing. Such rich tones. Such beauty. I listened to this on repeat for a long time today. Please, please, please share more of your singing. It is soooo wonderful to hear.

[@eliransobel5257]

Ok, I'm listening to this every Friday afternoon from now on.

[@torgostheme]

You guys should do a Shabbos album with full length versions of some of these!

[@gaddymachin96]

[@mateusbento9033]

[@zachalbert1606]

[@clintn.kildepstein1656]

WE NEED FULL VERSIONS NOW

[@gameshowfan7638]

This is such a wonderful compilation of songs and soloists!! Every Friday my class asks me to play it on our smart board, and it gets the students so geared up for Shabbat every time!!

[@1998tkhri]

Rough translations (a few my own, many taken from the internet), since a lot of people are asking: 0:11-0:24 "O Come, let us sing to the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." (Ps. 95:1) 0:24-0:32 "Set out, my beloved, to greet the bride; the 'face' of the Sabbath we shall greet." 0:32-0:39 "Come in peace, the crown of her husband, even with happiness and rejoicing..." 0:39-0:49 "Between me and the Children of Israel it is a sign for the ages..." (Ex. 31:17) 0:51-0:59 "Greetings (lit. peace be upon you), ministering angels-highest angels-from the Sovereign of the sovereign of sovereigns, the Blessed Holy One." 0:59-1:13 "Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman that fears the LORD, she shall be praised." (Proverbs 31:30) 1:13-1:25 "For You chose us and You sanctified us from all the nations." 1:25-1:36 "All who sanctify the seventh [day], called at night..." 1:36-1:46 "GOD. the Ruler of the world and the worlds..." 1:46-2:01 "GOD, how I long for
 the bliss of the Sabbath, united in secret
​ with Your own fervent wish." 2:01-2:08 "Who dwells eternally, on high, and Whose name is sanctified." 2:09-2:23 "There is none like you, our Redeemer, [looking] towards the days of the Messiah" 2:24-2:31 "And our eyes shall see..." 2:31-2:39 "And it was, whenever the ark was to march on, that Moses would say..." (Num. 10:35) 2:39-2:58 "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." (Proverbs 3:17) 2:59-3:14 "Hearken O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is One!" (Deut. 6:4) 3:15-3:22 "Master of the world Who reigns, before every formation was yet created..." 3:22-3:30 "Blessed is the highest God, Who gave rest..." 3:30-3:37 "This day is honored above all days. for on it, the Rock of the worlds ceased laboring" 3:37-3:51 "Who grants release to lad and lass: As Who's eye's apple safe, they play." 3:51-3:58 "For if I guard the Sabbath, God will guard me..." 3:58-4:13 "An Ascent Poem. When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like men in a dream." (Ps. 126:1) 4:13-4:22 "A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." (Ps. 23:1) 4:22-4:34 "Your servant shall run like a gazelle..." 4:49-5:00 "You are blessed, LORD, Who separates between the sanctified and the ordinary." 5:00-5:07 "Elijah the prophet, Elijah the Tishbite: (who will usher in the) Messiah the son of David!"

[@BSBYLYHWH]

Amazing work! I was wondering on the meaning. Thank you. I like how they pieced each together with smooth transitions.

[@YT-ne5ed]

Phenomenal harmonies. Was a pleasure listening to this and hope to hear many more from you guys. Some fantastic talent you have

[@susumaung5204]

Shabbat Shalom

[@syleftin]

I am so very blessed by this music!! Thank you for sharing it with me❤

[@Nanach3]

I wish each one was sang for longer was absolutely 🔥🔥

[@Angels77771]

A very happy Shabbat Shalom

[@drunklittlesheep]

1:32 this song is Ka Ribon Olam/Ya Ribon Alam. It was written by the Chief Rabbi of Gaza, Israel ben Moshe Najara, in the 1500s. This tune was composed by Ari Goldwag in New York in 1998.

[@terrysetiawan6289]

Wonderful.... Elohim Gadol. Barukh atta Elohim , Ribbon ha Olamim.

[@jordanwartell-composer]

Once you spend more time in a traditional Jewish community, these songs hit absolutely different. 🔥 AMAZING JOB Y-STUDS!

[@yp5436]

Wow! This video is inspirational. Especially Yossi Dietz.

[@PragerFenster]

Can't help smiling hearing your strong American accent. 😁But beautifully arranged and so lovely that every one of you gets their solos, displaying the beauty and richness of the particular flavor he adds to the mix. Would also LOVE a longer version!

[@czytamyrazem9312]

I love your song and i truly appreciate How you all sing with beauty compose you do. Dont let go from y studs Akiva, i like him so much and what happened to Gedalia?

[@BSBYLYHWH]

I am glad you like Akiva and the members! Gedalia technically left from singing the group, yet he remains to support and assist within the group. So although he unfortunately might not make an appearance soon, he is still active within the productions (as far as I am aware, at least). But the reason why Gedalia left specifically becomes evident if you research him. He actually has a husband, and is a member of the LGBTQ community. Although he has some amazing talent and is a key to producing Y-Studs’ music, he might be a controversial counterpart to the overall look. I believe you know the stance mainstream Judaism takes regarding LGBTQ. The members are still his friends, but if he plays as a display member, people might get “the wrong idea”. I hope that answers your question!

[@jaycobie7257]

The way I have been waiting for a song from you guys😭 purim is coming, happy rosh kodesh Adar

Ahhhh so glad you guys are back. I’ve listen to your revolution of Jewish music medley so much that I catch myself singing along, even though I have no idea what any of it means 🤣. Thank you for another beautiful video gentlemen. From your Christian friend, with love ❤️

[@JerusalemStrayCat]

Can someone please tell me where the Yedid Nefesh tune at 4:22 comes from? I've been trying to find out for ages and I've only ever heard it used for Mussaf Kedusha Edit: found it, it's by Lev Tahor

[@25arkie]

wow, you guys have amazing voices. I wish I knew what you were saying but unfortunately I'm a clueless Baptist...lol

[@talimeir1722]

They have a great voice, and all the sounds are great it's amazing .

[@traps3428]

That's such a vibe honestly.

[@BSBYLYHWH]

Yes, the song itself is very catchy and pleasant to listen to, as well as the meaning if you know the translations. However, “vibe” refers to “vibration”, as a vital element in Buddhism and Hinduism. So technically, the term “vibes” are religious, but not Jewish nor abiding in the Torah or TaNaKh.

[@traps3428]

@@BSBYLYHWH ? Did you really just take the word vibe to think I was using it as an act of aggression

[@BSBYLYHWH]

@@traps3428No, I just wanted to inform you about the word “vibes”. I know almost everyone says it nowadays, so it does not move me much. But thanks for the conversation! I’m glad you got my reply.

[@megsugrue7717]

Welcome back. You all have been missed. Welcome to the new members as it's nice to see new faces.

[@channarubin8267]

Thats that great!! i love the part, when you sing kiddush song and there comes this kiddush cup to the guy singing.

[@Aslanreturn]

I love the sound, but I wish I could understand the language. Beautiful, beautiful voices and harmonies. 🥰

[@BSBYLYHWH]

They speak with an American accent, if you are curious; if you want to learn the most “productive” Hebrew, I would suggest modern Israeli. It is very European-and-English influenced. However, although taking much more research and discernment, I find Biblical Hebrew to be quite interesting and most beautiful - it has a more Arabic sound than modern Hebrew, which makes sense. I am glad you would like to learn Hebrew! For me, after I learned the Hebrew alphabet, the language started to fall in place accordingly. And a little ironically, Biblical Hebrew is much easier and more consistent than Modern Israeli in my opinion.

[@waynedubov3472]

So talented! A fun video with energetic music. Love the concept of the evolution of Shabbat through song.
