Such a nice interviewer he's a really nice rabbi I can tell. This is how we should all treat each other . He didn't judge matisyahu at all . He wished him the best at the end and I agree matisyahu is a gift from gd . He is an extraordinary person I love him so much now and forever :) This video is exactly what I needed . Godsend . Thanks for posting . Very beautiful person he is that we can all learn from 💖
Matis...you looked so sad and tired for most of the interview, until you started talking about the Mystic Man. Thank you for pushing through, Thank you for singing and baring your soul. Jerusalem and Lord Raise me Up still make me cry. Your song Miracle..there are no words to describe how much strength I got from the words in that song, I've had many surgeries and health issues that I required myself to have courage for. I'm a miracle and so i relate with the song. music is my best friend.. when no one understands, and you just want to be alone instead of lonely..music is there. and now for the less sappy part, oh my gosh you're so handsome.
in case you wonder who are the "36" he was talking about, look for Tsadikim Nistarim. Great interview. Very respectful and gentle. Just the way we should treat each other.
Even when you watch his older interviews he never seems to feel comfortable on camera. He is going through an obvious change but I do not think that is a bad thing. We all must go through stages on very level of our lives.
16.47 that "Ruben" guy was an angel in human form, dare I say it was God Himself in human form that's why you were intrigued by him. God knew you were searching for Him so He sent someone to talk you for show you the way to the schule that would be best for you, and it was. That was totally an angelic encounter with that "mystic" or "mystery" guy as you called him. Praise God! (big smile)
i honestly like this matisyahu better than the one with the beard. i know some say the opposite, and honestly im a new fan. i didn't really know the old one. with that said, i think this is more "him" and at the end of the day its the same matisyahu . hes just trying out different things with his life, which all of us do. love matisyahu so much! keep making amazing music....ur fans love you
The person who commented that he seems "off" we hear that he just got done with a performance . Speaking on stage drains you, it is almost a way to trance. That's why he is like that.
The interviewer just wants Matisyahu to confirm his assumptions and interpretations. The interviewer needs to just ask questions with no preface. Matisyahu has a calm, sweet disposition. I like him more.
random comment, but the song you hear in the beginning is the first movement of the song "pictures at an exhibition" a personal favourite of mine to play :)
It's extreme shyness. I'm painfully shy and I force myself to periodically look people in the eye because I know it's an accepted behavior. It's embarrassing, uncomfortable, and painful even for me to have to do that--I feel a sense of panic, my heart beats rapidly... I can see that in Matisyahu--he's soft spoken, looks down, smiles shyly... Just b/c someone's a performer doesn't mean they can't be seriously shy--watch how Robert DeNiro (an actor known for his shyness) speaks/acts in interviews.
Oh to find the Frequencies of our Hebrew Letters and play the Psalms as the Sons of Korah and David i know knew. Yochanan Keitz Toda Rabah Matisyahu!!!
My friend i'm thankful that i don't got a problem. I have a lovely family. I'm glad with my beautiful wife. My job is alright. Objectively I don't feel anger against people. I've got a good collection of books. Other hobbies and friends who like me just the way i am. Of Course i suffer in my own way. But I don't lay my responsibility outside of myself. I don't look up or down to people because a book says so. I don't talk to somebody who never respond.
I wanted to ask him during the Q&A on his last acoustic show about him performing on shabbos. As much as I love his music and respect his newfound views and self expression, I can't understand why he's performing on shabbos or what he says to defend that. That kinda breaks it for me, it's passing the limit. Breaking shabbos is breaking Torah in all levels. There's no way around that. I wish he would have talked about that.
Hi Samuel. Which part have you labeled as crazy ? Can you make your question more concread please ? Than i can try to explain myself a little bit better. I'm from the Netherlands, and my english is not so good. But i want to try to do my best.
He was asked if he thinks he is an Orthodox Jew and he was able to answer properly. Being a Jew is not something you can pick up and let go. You are born Jewish. I think he changed because his record company thinks his image is getting political.
To take a music of a people they despise and not acknowledge that people for the music that you are copying, is a disrespectful act.....and even if his music sounds great it can' only go but so far. Jah Guide!
How can someone call himself a Rabbi and not wear a kippah? I call narishkeit. Matis, come back to us, grow your beard, put on a kippah, your children deserve it.
What the heck I don't understand this guy is not a rabbi mark don't call yourself a rabbi and not have a kippah on it is Halacha don't call yourself a rabbi and not keep Halacha
So what I'm getting from this interview is that the Divine Mr. M* is nothing more than a dilettante, treating the Torah the way Donald Trump and Bill Clinton treat women. I hope he doesn't treat his wife and children that way! As for all the gushing fan comments below, it seems most if not all modern people are just as air-headed and shallow as he is! *For all too young to get the reference, singer Bette Midler was once referred to as The Divine Ms. M!
Acting that the are the only victim of the last two thousand years. Most of them are of eastern european ancestry. Believing in a jealous god who not react or listen after millions of prayers. A god who wants blood offerings in a temple. And whipped out cities. And wasn't looking when WW2 was going on.
that makes no sense. part of him getting as much fame and attention was because of his appearance. why cant people just accept the fact that he moved on and his beliefs changed and so did his lifestyle? what is wrong with that? How can you get massively popular by being an orthodox jew and then somehow SELL OUT by going away from that? that literally makes no sense. his record company didnt ask him to do anything
The more I hear Matisyahu, the more respect I have for him and his music. He is a terrific person and wonderful person. Shalom!
just listening to his voice is so calming.
It cannot be easy to speak about your personal issues in front of cameras and in front of the world. I really respect him for speaking out
He's such a soul searcher, god bless you matisyahu!
He's so honest I love it wish there were more people like matisyahu in the world
This is quite possibly the most beautiful man IN THE WORLD.
💯 fact. God’s masterpiece 🖼️.
And the beautiful part about this is is that He doesn’t know it.
#HumilityMatters
live like a warrior is the new one day.
live like a warrior=awesome.
You are one of a kind man. You are the Man.
♥ best person in the world..thank you for all the inspiration Matisyahu.. :)
One day!!! Best song... i sing it with passion:)
I love him so much, ugh.
Such a nice interviewer he's a really nice rabbi I can tell. This is how we should all treat each other . He didn't judge matisyahu at all . He wished him the best at the end and I agree matisyahu is a gift from gd . He is an extraordinary person I love him so much now and forever :)
This video is exactly what I needed . Godsend . Thanks for posting . Very beautiful person he is that we can all learn from 💖
Such an inspiring story, thank you.
I knew when he said that one song really touched him he was gonna say it was one day
Best interview ever
Matis...you looked so sad and tired for most of the interview, until you started talking about the Mystic Man.
Thank you for pushing through, Thank you for singing and baring your soul.
Jerusalem and Lord Raise me Up still make me cry.

music is my best friend..
when no one understands, and you just want to be alone instead of lonely..music is there.
and now for the less sappy part, oh my gosh you're so handsome.
God bless you Matis!
I just came home from that same program, Alexander Muss High School in Israel
great interview
Thanks for sharing!!!
Very interesting. I'm not into his music, although I'm Jewish. He is very interesting and down to earth and very spiritual.....Excellent interview.
Great Interview
Enjoyed this interview! He has the right to change. Judging him is ignorance to a path of evolution as a human. I bet he was a king in a past life!
Me too.
he is strangely humble in this interview
in case you wonder who are the "36" he was talking about, look for Tsadikim Nistarim. Great interview. Very respectful and gentle. Just the way we should treat each other.
great music god bless you :)

He definitely is a Gift of God. FYI: Matisyahu means GIft of God in English.
The person who commented that he seems "off" we hear that he just got done with a performance . Speaking on stage drains you, it is almost a way to trance. That's why he is like that.
The interviewer just wants Matisyahu to confirm his assumptions and interpretations. The interviewer needs to just ask questions with no preface. Matisyahu has a calm, sweet disposition. I like him more.
Jesus bless you all!!!

Interviews like this, make me see how much religion actually divides and causes so many problems in the world.
I know exactly what you mean. When I talk to someone i don't keep eye to eye contact. Can you believe I'm 52 years old and still have extreme shyness!
Matisyahu is GREAT, you know... ;)
It's extreme shyness. I'm painfully shy and I force myself to periodically look people in the eye because I know it's an accepted behavior. It's embarrassing, uncomfortable, and painful even for me to have to do that--I feel a sense of panic, my heart beats rapidly...

Just b/c someone's a performer doesn't mean they can't be seriously shy--watch how Robert DeNiro (an actor known for his shyness) speaks/acts in interviews.
I'm Rasta, but my religion really is MESSIANIC JUDAISM
ONE LOVE TO ALL
I ❤️❤️❤️you.
He does what it wants.
Yeshua lives!
Oh to find the Frequencies of our Hebrew Letters and play the Psalms as the Sons of Korah and David i know knew. Yochanan Keitz
Toda Rabah Matisyahu!!!
A really shy person; but great spirit
Mine too, but let's let people speak for themselves.
boom!!
Hey ❤️
Good
My friend i'm thankful that i don't got a problem. I have a lovely family. I'm glad with my beautiful wife. My job is alright. Objectively I don't feel anger against people.

Wake up. And become part of the world. Step of your not existing special place. And a lot of people will like you more.
Hi Samuel. Which part have you labeled as crazy ? Can you make your question more concread please ? Than i can try to explain myself a little bit better. I'm from the Netherlands, and my english is not so good. But i want to try to do my best.
🙏🏼☮️💟🕯️
interesting
He looks like Andy Sandberg & Chris Martin
he meant to say he used to, and he changed
He was asked if he thinks he is an Orthodox Jew and he was able to answer properly. Being a Jew is not something you can pick up and let go. You are born Jewish. I think he changed because his record company thinks his image is getting political.
Where's my comment :(
The Torah was and is open to all. You didn't accept it that is your problem not ours.
pepperoni pizza 1740: no pork in a kosher diet ,, but it taste so good
To take a music of a people they despise and not acknowledge that people for the music that you are copying, is a disrespectful act.....and even if his music sounds great it can' only go but so far. Jah Guide!
he seems like hes reading what he's saying
So sad he lost his image and made his sound more commercial. Such a pity.
he seemed a bit "off", staring at the floor all the time :(
:-( is it true he started performing on shabbat? hope not!
How can someone call himself a Rabbi and not wear a kippah? I call narishkeit. Matis, come back to us, grow your beard, put on a kippah, your children deserve it.
dame rapping!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:20 *
Your question is not logic. Insulting somebody when you don't understand something is not that smart. Probably you don't get this. So never mind.
Matisyahu doesn't believe in your Yoscha. No offense, but Judiasm is different than Christianity. Have a good day.
Didn't respond in the most dark moments of human history. Please think about it. Good day
ok
Exactly. I have a different meaning on what the Bible mean that is different than what the Talmud states. It's fine.
12:57
Huh?
read my complete statement,the answer is there
What the heck I don't understand this guy is not a rabbi mark don't call yourself a rabbi and not have a kippah on it is Halacha don't call yourself a rabbi and not keep Halacha
cannabis not a drug, but some losers treat it like one
Bring back the beard and your music!!!!
not all jewish grow beard you now??
I don't think he does
Is that a lie or do you know that?
Dead jewish culture???
Please explain more
Lol please explain this crazy theory
So what I'm getting from this interview is that the Divine Mr. M* is nothing more than a dilettante, treating the Torah the way Donald Trump and Bill Clinton treat women. I hope he doesn't treat his wife and children that way!
As for all the gushing fan comments below, it seems most if not all modern people are just as air-headed and shallow as he is!

Go easy on him
Acting that the are the only victim of the last two thousand years. Most of them are of eastern european ancestry. Believing in a jealous god who not react or listen after millions of prayers.

1:50 Bob Marley is not a genre haha
YESHUA HA'MASHIACH
u r mad not a reel hibru a fake won
This interviewer is not good.
lol 3:22
The old look was part of his appeal. Now he sold out.
The old look was part of his appeal? Maybe he decided to stop selling out then?
that makes no sense. part of him getting as much fame and attention was because of his appearance. why cant people just accept the fact that he moved on and his beliefs changed and so did his lifestyle? what is wrong with that?
How can you get massively popular by being an orthodox jew and then somehow SELL OUT by going away from that? that literally makes no sense. his record company didnt ask him to do anything
ya this guy is a weirdo
