Shia Kollar is only 19, my nephew, but is way beyond his years in his artistic musical arrangements. Comes from a musical family. He writes his own notes for each of his band members, he is taking over the music industry if he didn’t yet. He just played in a event where there was thousands of attendees for the satmer celebration of the old rebbes being freed from world war 2. U will be able to say in a short time “ I commented and reacted when he just started his career “. In a side note ur reaction is in sync with his artistic musical ear. Btw He is 90% self fought. Good luck.
Hi, 😊 good to see you again, missed your videos. 1:15 - The color of the oil depends on the variety of the olive, and when it was picked from the tree. Olives picked in the beginning of the season will give darker color, those who were picked at the end of the season will give much brighter oil color. Also, the color of the oil is affected by the production process and how it was stored after that. Usually for lighting candles (some people light Shabbat candles with olive oil rather than using actual candles), you'ld use an oil of lower quality than an oil used for eating, but some insist to light their Chanukah candles with the best olive oil. 12:55 - of course he has to end the medley with a happier vibe, Chanukah is a happy holiday, after all! Happy holidays to you and your family. Wish you all a healthy year, full of joy and many many good things! 💐
The last song is from Moshe oysher, a famous cantor and performer in the early 1900s. The way Shulem sings the song, and how he breaks into "speaking"was how MO would sing.
You're right that Shulem has a very crisp and clean voice. It's a very marketable voice, and that's why he is one of the few Orthodox singers to have gotten a contract from a major record label (Universal Music Group).
Love how you picked up on the trend with our medleys switching between fast and slow. We love to switch off between songs of joy and songs of yearning to show that they are all part of one package. For example, that while Chanukah is a time of great joy it is also a time to pray and yearn for future redemption
Thank you for all your videos and reactions. We look forward to each one! Most of these melodies in this medley are the popular and more commonly sung ones. We really appreciate your appreciation for Jewish music. It has even deepened our appreciation for it!
15:52 Shulem is basically wishing the audience and people watching a "Happy Chanukah" He's saying, "Hutz mir aleh a gitten chanukah" which means (not word for word) Have you all a good chanuka
The trombone players name is Danny Flamm. He plays for almost all of the Jewish bands predominantly at weddings. You can can see him in many videos online. He's very talented and really loves getting involved like you see in this video. Thanks Y Gross for the clarification
the Reason U didn't hear a lot of the Shia kaller band is because he is pretty new and verry young, On a side note, You said you like the flow of the songs just note that's his talent! Maybe review some more of his medleys he maid a lot without anyone singing, go check them out.
There were issues with the publisher/copy right, so I've just made it private so I don't have to deal with it. Sorry for the inconvenience, I enjoyed that one as well.
I know I posted this on your last video, but it seems to have been taken down and I feel this is very important to understand: Great job on all the Chanukah reactions that you've done so far! Most of our holidays (Pesach-Passover, Sukkos, Yom Kippur etc.) are directly mandated by the Torah and therefore have similar restrictions to Shabbos. Chanukah is one of only two Rabbinically mandated holidays that we still celebrate after the destruction of the Temple. Therefore, unlike Shabbos and most holidays, on Chanukah work is permitted and the holiday really comes down to a few rules and a bunch of traditions. This is why Chanukah more than any other Jewish holiday has been overly commercialized kind of like many non-jewish and American holidays. In reality the Maccabee part of the story only ended happily in the short term. We do celebrate that the Syrian-Greeks who persecuted and killed Jews all in the attempt of complete assimilation were finally chased out of Israel. That being said, by the time the Jewish people were in complete control of their land again, the ones who started the fight - the original Maccabees, Matisyahu and his five sons - were all dead besides for one and matters deteriorated in Israel for the next couple of hundred years until ultimately the Temple was destroyed by the Romans and the Jewish people have been in Exile ever since. The main reason for the great happiness and celebration on Chanukah is the miracle of the oil that took place in the Temple. While there had been no prophecy and open miracles for hundreds of years since the First Temple, the contradiction of nature that was oil for one day burning for eight (which was the exact amount of time needed to make new pure oil) was the sign that even when there are no miracles and in Exile, G-d is with us. This is the happiness that we celebrate and it gives us hope for the Final Redemption and the building of the Third Temple.
It's clear that you're taken with Shulem's voice - who wouldn't be? - so you might be interested in reacting to the video that he recorded that led to him being signed with a secular music label. It's Shulem's take on the Chad Gadya song from the Passover Seder ruclips.net/video/UdwTuToxW9s/видео.html
He had to make it private because there was an issue with it. In the last video he posted, under my comment, he explained the reason and posted the link to the original video (without his reaction), if you're interested in the medley itself.
Biblical Hebrew has few ways of pronunciation, Shulem uses the Hasidic way that sounds very different then the Sephardic/Israeli way. Modern Hebrew took the Sephardic way of pronunciation
Thanks for the review was a pleasure to film, and about the oil the custom is to use olive oil some are just a richer color then others
These are THE Chanukah classics. These are the songs sung at all the parties
This is a new band led by Shea kaller the one on the keyboard, he is a music genius, he is 19 years old..
Holy smokes really? That dudes only 19? My goodness 😅!
The beard makes him look older

Thank you for posting! You made my night! Happy holidays to you and your family!
Shea Kaller (the keyboard player) is 19 years old! Best you'd never guess that
Great great commentary! Love your appreciation for there music and nuances I feel like I see my feelings in your reactions, you give a great vibe!

At the end when you said it sounded like he’s out of breath he’s saying to the crowd “ have a good Chanukah “
Thank you for all your videos and reactions. We look forward to each one! Most of these melodies in this medley are the popular and more commonly sung ones. We really appreciate your appreciation for Jewish music. It has even deepened our appreciation for it!
Regarding the songs, they're usually based off the same words, but each singer puts a twist on the tune.
15:52 Shulem is basically wishing the audience and people watching a "Happy Chanukah"
He's saying, "Hutz mir aleh a gitten chanukah" which means (not word for word) Have you all a good chanuka
That breaking to almost speak is a common thing found in old klezmer music.
Wishing you and yours a happy holiday and healthy new year! 🎉
9:57 "vkurayv" (pronounced by most Jews as "vkoraiv/vkarev") means "bring close [the time of salvation]"

Great cover of this Billy Joel song by Shulem!
Well worth watching..

What happened to the other Chanukah Medley, seems to have gone missing from your channel? That rocked as well!
There were issues with the publisher/copy right, so I've just made it private so I don't have to deal with it. Sorry for the inconvenience, I enjoyed that one as well.
Which one?
@@tourots ruclips.net/video/F_tcjBP6C8k/видео.html this is the medley I had reacted to.
@@PortuguesePai thanks
The "scat" is typical of klezmer music (think Fiddler on the Roof). So is the clarinet which you commented on in another recent video.
Hi. Happy holidays
This band is a few years old
Drop a like if you just Googled how much a Louis Vuitton belt costs...
Nice glasses 👓
Thanks 😁

Shea Kaller is just 20 years old in he have a successful band
@PortugesePai Check out the Chanukah mosaic made with 1,600 Rubik's Cubes on our channel.

Where did the Israeli Hanukkah medely disappeared?
He had to make it private because there was an issue with it. In the last video he posted, under my comment, he explained the reason and posted the link to the original video (without his reaction), if you're interested in the medley itself.
Here’s Shulem doing it justice properly (as opposed to a medley):

Really great!
IMHO, Shulem is at his best with this beautiful song, Zechor. ruclips.net/video/aVwcWJMzl54/видео.html
Biblical Hebrew has few ways of pronunciation, Shulem uses the Hasidic way that sounds very different then the Sephardic/Israeli way.
Modern Hebrew took the Sephardic way of pronunciation
Are you wearing glasses ? Thanks for posting it.
Of course he's wearing glasses, what else?
Do some more jewish music !!
