Y-Studs - Rise Up - Hanukkah [Official Video]

[@bryangagel433]

I'm a Christian, but always had a special place for Isreal in my heart. Some of my friends are Jewish and I have learned so much from them. My friend son is a Hatzolah volunteer in New York. Way to go!🙂❤️ Love and best wishes from Bryan in Lodi NJ. Happy Hannakuah

[@andreamcgurran3577]

We stand with you and Israel! Shalom and blessings! You are not alone!!

[@kevindonohue2912]

I am in tears. With all the recent attacks on Jews here in the US, and globally, with many murdered and Torah scrolls desecrated, this is even more relevant than when first recorded. Only light can drive out darkness. Chag Urim Sameach.

[@willsofer3679]

Thank you. FYI, it meant a lot to the Jewish people (of European descent) that the Catholic Church finally (and actually) apologized for what it had done to the Jewish people throughout history, and even acknowledged they were equal in dignity. Mainly because no one else ever took that step. This may not mean much to someone who isn’t informed about blood libels and whatnot, but it actually made us believe reconciliation was possible. And apologies if you’re not Catholic; I only assumed as much from the last name (same name as Phil Donahue and all).

[@kevindonohue2912]

@@willsofer3679 Actually, my father was Dutch/Irish, and was raised Dutch Reformed. Worse than that, my mother is German Lutheran, and that is how I was raised (but I refused confirmation and do not identify as Lutheran). I know many branches of the Lutheran church have apologized for Martin Luther's antisemitism, but many also boycott Israel, so I wonder if they have really changed. My closest childhood friend was Jewish, and her parents were Holocaust survivors (her grandmother did not survive), so from a very young age I was very aware of the horrors of the Shoah. I have studied the history of the Jewish people, the long history of pogroms and slanders, and I have also studied Judaism and have spent far more time in synagogues than in churches. I have felt this need to understand this, how this hatred has survived and morphed through the ages, when I feel that the Jewish people are my adopted family (well, I don't know if they want to adopt me, LOL, but I feel I have have adopted them). I have often said that it was my great fortune in life to know Jews before I knew about antisemitism - and for all that I have read, I still cannot understand it.

@@kevindonohue2912 In my experience many people do not understand anti-semitism and I am a Catholic who enjoys the music of Y-Studs, this is one of my favorite songs!

When I was a teenager a minister came to our house to try to get us to join his church. My mom answered the door and he told her why her was there. When she told him that we were Jewish. He told my mother she was going to Hell. She then told him that she was sure he would be there first with open arms then she closed the door

@@MindelM Even as a cultural Jew (born to a Jewish mother, but I don't practice) I can't believe how many times I've been told by fanatical christians that I'm "going to go to hell". I generally just think it's funny that they think I care what they say, especially since: A. there is no hell in Jewish tradition and B. I don't practice so I doubly don't believe in a hell.

[@shockwave4742]

Okay, gotta say something. At 1:28 I can't help noticing that the swastika symbol has been drawn backward for the purpose it's being used for, whereas the other one featured in this video was drawn correctly. I know that many of you might say that that doesn't matter in our society, but trust me, we're living in exactly the society where it does matter. And as one of the great-grandkids of someone who died in a concentration camp, yeah, this concerns me greatly.
